Justin Andrews, BACP

Justin Andrews is a BACP-registered UK counsellor who combines formal training with decades of hands-on experience in social care. He has worked across mental health services, learning disabilities and neurodiversity support, criminal justice settings, and with young people, bringing a broad understanding of how varied life circumstances can affect wellbeing. He supports people facing complex mental health challenges as well as those dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief and loss, depression, and the many practical strains that arise during life transitions.

Alongside his counselling practice, he teaches counselling skills and shares mindfulness and Buddhist-informed meditation practices, including teaching in a nearby prison. His own long-standing meditation practice, begun in adolescence, informs a compassionate, reflective style that encourages self-awareness and steady personal development. Justin believes individuals have the capacity to learn about themselves, adapt, and grow even amid hardship, and he aims to help people cultivate a more meaningful and enjoyable life through therapeutic work. He uses a variety of approaches to meet different needs and focuses on collaborating with each person to find the most helpful path forward.
