Andrew Harris
Counselling for grief, anxiety and life change
About Andrew
Andrew Harris is a psychotherapeutic counsellor practising in the United Kingdom. He holds BACP accreditation, which means he meets national professional standards for counselling practice. Andrew focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by loss, anxiety, depression or major life changes.
He has a particular interest in bereavement and grief and in people adjusting after illness or other big stresses. People also come to him for help with relationship strain, persistent low mood, and issues linked to anxiety and obsessive thinking.
Background and approach
He will work with a wide range of difficulties and presentations. Andrew describes counselling as a meeting between two people where thoughts, feelings and behaviours are talked through. Sessions aim to make difficult experiences easier to understand and manage.
He places real value on building a respectful, non-judgemental relationship with each client. In practice he offers a warm and welcoming space and works in a collaborative way. He pays attention to how attachment and abandonment experiences shape current relationships and coping.
He also supports people dealing with blended-family stress, communication problems, chronic illness, or body image concerns. With three years of experience, Andrew helps people navigate change at their own pace. He welcomes people from majority and minority backgrounds and aims to tailor the work to each person’s needs.
The goal is steady progress, whether that means managing day-to-day stress or working through deeper loss and grief.

Approaches and how online therapy helps
Andrew uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques suited to grief, anxiety and depression. One common approach focuses on understanding and processing loss so people can make sense of their grief and find ways to carry on with daily life. Another approach helps identify unhelpful thinking and repetitive worry, teaching practical skills to reduce anxiety and improve mood.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to agree what feels most useful based on their goals and what they want to change. Sessions may adapt as progress is made so the method fits the person rather than the other way round.
Online therapy is available through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation from anywhere, phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can suit quick check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties or other commitments while keeping the focus on steady, practical progress.
