John Lennox, BACP

John Lennox is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression and intimacy-related issues. He also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, grief and relationship strains. He works with adults on practical problems such as sleeping and eating difficulties, addiction and career stress.

John uses straightforward conversation and clear, practical tools in sessions. He draws on approaches such as cognitive behavioural therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based work to tailor support to each person. Sessions focus on small steps clients can try between meetings to build confidence and reduce distress.

With 14 years of experience and BACP registration, he brings steady experience to common and complex concerns. He aims to build a trusting space where people can speak openly about intimate or difficult topics without jargon. He explains options plainly and helps clients choose what feels useful.

John has worked with a wide range of issues including bereavement, anger, parenting strain and body image. He also supports people exploring kink, BDSM and alternative sex cultures on topics like boundaries and communication. He accepts international clients and runs sessions in English.

To start, he asks people to outline their current difficulties and goals. From there he and the client agree practical steps and how progress will be checked. He uses familiar therapeutic techniques and adapts them to each person’s situation.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and to choose actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, low mood and struggles with motivation. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep problems going and gives step-by-step techniques to change them, often useful for anxiety, depression and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people understand and change how they connect with others, which can be useful for intimacy and relationship concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, needs and preferences and then suggest methods to try. This is a collaborative process and approaches can be combined or adjusted as progress is reviewed.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions around work and family life and avoiding travel time. Online sessions can make it easier to schedule short check-ins or regular weekly meetings depending on what suits the client. As the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm the available options before booking to ensure they fit your routine.
