About Andrew
Hello and welcome, I’m Andrew Thompson, a professionally qualified counsellor and a registered member of the BACP. I offer a calm, confidential, and non-judgemental space where you can take time for yourself, talk things through, and begin to make sense of whatever you’re carrying right now.
I came into counselling because I care deeply about people finding their way through life’s challenges and not having to do it alone. Those who know me often describe me as calm, grounded, and easy to talk to, with a good sense of humour. I bring that same presence into therapy, offering a space that’s down-to-earth, supportive, and real. A space where you can breathe out, speak freely, and begin to hear your own voice again.
Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, low, or simply need space to reflect, therapy can be a powerful way to reconnect with yourself and find a sense of clarity and direction.
Alongside my private practice, I’ve worked with clients in community and charity settings, supporting people from many different walks of life. Before training as a therapist, I’ve operated my own business; working within the service industry, so I understand how life’s demands — deadlines, pressure, responsibilities — can leave little time for yourself. It’s easy to put your own needs on the back burner. Counselling offers a space to come back to yourself.
Whatever brings you here, you’ll be met with warmth, respect, and honesty. We’ll go at your pace — there’s no rush, no pressure, just time for you.
