Welcome to a supportive space where compassion meets clarity. I offer a safe and confidential environment in Sandycroft, Deeside, and online. I'm here to help you every step of the way.

​

Life can bring challenges that feel overwhelming, confusing, or isolating. Talking with a counsellor can help you make sense of your experiences, process difficult emotions, and find new ways forward.

 

At Changing Places Counselling Services, you’ll find a calm, supportive environment where you can explore your thoughts and feelings at your own pace. My approach is compassionate, down-to-earth, and always centred around your needs.

​

How I Can Help

 

I offer counselling for a wide range of concerns, including:

 

• Anxiety and stress

• Low mood and depression

• Grief and loss

• Relationship difficulties

• Self-esteem and confidence

• OCD and intrusive thoughts

• Life transitions and personal growth

​

Every person is unique, so I work integratively — blending Person-Centred Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, and CBT — to create support that fits you.

About Me

​

Hello, I’m Andy. I’m a qualified counsellor and a registered member of the BACP and NCPS. This means I work to the highest ethical standards and am committed to ongoing professional development.

 

My role is not to judge, diagnose, or tell you what to do. Instead, I’ll walk alongside you, offering understanding, tools, and a safe space where you can discover your own way forward.
