Andy Green

Andy Green is a BACP-registered counsellor who helps people navigate anxiety, low mood and loss. He creates a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about what feels hard and start to make sense of their feelings.

He listens to what’s happening now and looks at past patterns that still affect day-to-day life. Sessions are paced to suit each person, with practical conversation and gentle reflection. The aim is to help people feel more in control and better able to cope with stress and relationships.

Andy uses an integrative approach that draws on Client-Centred Therapy and Psychodynamic Therapy. That means he focuses on understanding how relationships and early experiences shape current feelings while keeping the conversation centred on the person’s needs. He adapts the way he works to what feels useful for each individual.

Before training as a counsellor, he spent 20 years supporting people from varied backgrounds with issues such as addiction, anger and behaviour change. That background informs a practical focus on emotional regulation and noticing unhelpful patterns.

He offers both short and longer-term counselling for adults and young people, and is experienced in grief and end-of-life concerns alongside common mental health difficulties. Andy follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy ethical guidelines and continues with ongoing professional development and supervision.

How his approaches shape online counselling

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person in the room. It emphasises listening, acceptance and responding to what the person says so they can find their own solutions. This approach suits people who want a supportive space to talk about feelings such as grief, anxiety or low self-worth.

Psychodynamic Therapy looks at how past relationships and early experiences influence current feelings and patterns. It helps people understand why they react in certain ways and can be useful for repetitive relationship problems, attachment issues and long-standing emotional patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Andy will discuss options with each person and together they will decide what feels most useful. This is a collaborative process that adapts as needs and goals change.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the session formats before booking as the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also let someone have a session during a break from work or from a quieter location, depending on what suits daily routines.
