YOUR COUNSELLOR IN MILTON KEYNES & Online across the uK

About me

I’m Andrew, a qualified, trauma‑informed integrative counsellor offering individual and couples therapy in Milton Keynes and online across the UK. 


I provide a calm, supportive space where you can talk openly, understand what’s happening beneath the surface, and begin to feel more grounded and in control.


My approach is warm, collaborative and rooted in evidence‑based practice. Therapy with me is not clinical or detached, It’s human, steady and focused on what you need right now.

Why I became a counsellor

I’ve always been drawn to understanding people’s experiences and helping them feel less alone with what they’re carrying. 


Over the years, I saw how powerful it can be when someone feels genuinely heard, when they finally have space to breathe, reflect and make sense of things. 


That’s what guides my work today: offering a safe, grounded relationship where you can explore what’s happening at your own pace. 

How I work

People come to counselling for many reasons: feeling overwhelmed, stuck, anxious, low, disconnected, or unsure where to begin. My role is to help you make sense of what you’re experiencing and support you at a pace that feels safe.


I work integratively, drawing from:


  • Person‑Centred Therapy
  • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT‑informed approaches)
  • Emotion‑focused work
  • Trauma‑informed practice


This means I tailor therapy to you:  your story, your pace, your goals. 


There is no “one size fits all” approach.

What you can expect in therapy

 Sessions with me are gentle, steady and collaborative. You can expect:


  • a calm, non‑judgemental space
  • a pace that feels safe and manageable
  • support in exploring difficult thoughts and feelings
  • space to reflect, understand and grow
  • clear boundaries and a grounded therapeutic relationship


There is no pressure to share anything before you’re ready.

My values as a therapist

 My work is grounded in:


  • Compassion: meeting you with warmth and understanding
  • Honesty: being real, clear and transparent
  • Respect: honouring your pace, your story and your autonomy
  • Safety: creating a space where you can talk freely

Therapy should feel human, steady and supportive, not clinical or overwhelming.

Who I support

 I work with adults and couples experiencing:


  • Anxiety and worry
  • Depression and low mood
  • Relationship difficulties
  • Trauma (past or recent)
  • Stress and burnout
  • Low self‑esteem
  • Life transitions and feeling “stuck”


Whether you’re navigating a difficult moment or exploring long‑standing patterns, we can work together to understand what’s going on and move toward meaningful change.

Qualifications & professional standards

  • Qualified Counsellor
  • Registered Member of the BACP
  • Regular clinical supervision
  • Ongoing CPD and professional development
  • Fully insured (PPS)
  • Enhanced DBS checked


I take professional standards seriously: your safety, confidentiality and wellbeing are at the centre of our work.

Where I work

 I offer:


  • In‑person counselling in Central Milton Keynes
  • Online counselling across the UK, including Bedford, Northampton, Buckinghamshire, Bedfordshire and surrounding areas


Online sessions are ideal if you prefer flexibility, privacy or the comfort of your own space.

How online counselling works

Online sessions take place via secure video call. Many people find this option more comfortable and accessible, especially if travel, childcare, mobility or anxiety make in‑person sessions difficult. 

The quality of the therapeutic relationship remains the same: warm, steady and supportive. 

Confidentiality & safety

Everything you share is treated with care and confidentiality. I’ll always be clear about boundaries, safeguarding and what you can expect from me as your counsellor. You remain in control of the pace and direction of our work. 

A space to talk, explore and grow

You don’t need to have everything figured out before starting therapy. Many people begin simply because something feels off, heavy or overwhelming. Together, we can explore what’s happening and help you move toward clarity, confidence and emotional steadiness.


If you’d like to explore whether we’re a good fit, you’re welcome to get in touch for a free 15‑minute consultation. There’s no pressure,  just a chance to talk and see what feels right for you.
