I'm Andrew Regan, a qualified, trauma-informed integrative counsellor offering individual and couples therapy in Milton Keynes and online across the UK. Warm, grounded, and shaped around you: your story, your pace, your goals.
Counselling wasn't a plan. It grew out of something I was already doing.
About ten years ago, my employer offered voluntary leave and I chose to use it at Mind. I started by leading their weekly men’s talking group: a space where people could come and speak honestly, often for the first time. The response was good, and something in me knew I wanted to go further. I enrolled in an evening introductory counselling course at Bedford College, and Mind later offered me a paid part-time role counselling clients in crisis at their walk-in crisis cafes. Theory and real practice, side by side, from the beginning.
Before counselling, I spent years working as a market researcher in a corporate setting. That background matters more than it might seem. Research taught me to listen carefully, sit with complexity, and resist the urge to jump to conclusions.
I’ve always found people genuinely fascinating: who they are, why they do what they do, what shapes them. Counselling gave that instinct somewhere to go.
I’d describe myself as calm. Warm, I hope, but not passive. I believe therapy is most useful when it’s honest, when it can gently name a pattern, reflect something back, or ask a question that sits with you. Not to challenge for its own sake, but because real change rarely happens in a room where everything is simply agreed with.
What I hope you take from this page is straightforward: that I’m safe, steady, professional, and genuinely here.

I work integratively, drawing from several therapeutic traditions so the work shapes around what you actually need:
This means I tailor therapy to you: your story, your pace, your goals.
Counselling is a profession that calls for ongoing care and accountability. The shape of mine:
My work is grounded in four simple values: compassion, honesty, respect, safety.
Counselling here is open to adults from any background, identity, sexuality, gender, faith, relationship structure or neurotype. Wherever you’re coming from, you’re welcome as you are.
If you have specific accessibility needs (sensory, mobility, neurodivergent, or anything else), please mention it on the free consultation. We’ll find a way to make sessions work well for you.
Online sessions remove a lot of common barriers: no travel, no waiting room, your own familiar space. They’re a good option for anyone who finds in-person environments difficult, or who simply prefers the privacy of home.
I work in plain English and try to minimise jargon. If anything in a session feels unclear, you’re always welcome to ask, and to push back.
I work with a wide range of concerns: anxiety, depression, trauma, stress and burnout, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, and life transitions, among others. If you're not sure whether what you're carrying fits neatly into a category, that's fine. Most things don't
