About Andrew
Andrew Armstrong is a counsellor who uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy as a central part of his work. He aims to help people manage stress, anxiety, grief and low self-esteem. He also supports people facing relationship strain, parenting pressures and major life changes.
He explains things plainly and keeps sessions focused on what matters now. He works from a belief that each person knows themselves best and that therapy can help make changes feel possible.
Background and approach
Meetings are practical and centred on real-life steps rather than technical jargon. Andrew combines Emotionally-Focused Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques. This mix helps address feelings, unhelpful thinking patterns and choices that get in the way of everyday life.
The approaches are used to reduce overwhelm and improve how people cope day to day. He has four years of professional experience and holds BACP accreditation. Andrew has helped people with anger, compassion fatigue, body image and issues stemming from family relationships and upbringing.
He also supports individuals dealing with abandonment, attachment worries and codependency. Sessions can be arranged as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or ongoing text-based messaging. Sessions are provided in English and are geared to practical change, clearer communication and steadier mood.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire is used to pair someone with the right support and a session schedule is arranged.

Online support
Using emotion-focused and evidence-based approaches online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people understand and work with strong feelings that affect relationships and daily life. It focuses on identifying core emotions and changing how those feelings shape interactions and decisions.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches simple skills for accepting difficult thoughts and committing to actions that match personal values. It can help reduce avoidance and increase meaningful activity. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds affect current patterns, and it helps people notice and change repeating behaviours that cause distress.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Andrew will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then try methods that fit. That process is collaborative and may draw on EFT, ACT or attachment ideas depending on what helps most.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging to make therapy easier to fit into a busy life. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation, phone calls are good for quick check-ins or when bandwidth is low, and chat or messaging can suit brief reflections or ongoing support between sessions. These options aim to provide flexibility and accessibility while focusing on steady progress.
