About Me
Hi, I’m Andy. I am a pluralistic counsellor and I specialise in blending person centred therapy (talking therapy) with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) for the benefit of the client. I am a registered member (MBACP) of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and I am committed to working safely and ethically. I have counselling supervision every month to ensure that I am working to best practice. I also attend regular CPD training, and I am up to date with all current legislation and data protection requirements.
I support clients who are living with anxiety, depression, stress, trauma or have recently suffered a bereavement or loss. I can also support with other mental health conditions as listed on my private therapy page. I have an office in central Peterborough where I can offer private face to face sessions where you can say what you like, without fear of being judged. I also work remotely via Zoom or telephone to meet the needs of my clients’ busy schedules. I will do my best to understand what life is like for you and gain a deeper understanding of your presenting issue from your perspective.
Through working together we can develop and create coping strategies that can support your mental health and work to resolve your immediate difficulties. We can explore the links between your past and present experiences and help you to move forward on your journey. This will give you a deeper understanding of what you are feeling and why, broaden your sense of who you are, and enable you to make effective, positive and lasting change.
I have experience of working with various charities including Hunts Community Cancer Network (HCCN), Embrace CVoC, Little Miracles and Cruse Bereavement Care. I have worked with a wide variety of clients from different and diverse backgrounds who bring their own unique life experiences and issues to counselling. I also support local companies to provide mental health support to their employees.
