Andy Fairie , NCPS

Andy Fairie is a United Kingdom based therapist with three years of clinical experience working with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, self-esteem concerns, OCD, phobias, and challenges tied to addiction and loss. He creates an open, judgment-free environment where thoughts and feelings can be explored, and he supports clients who are taking the first steps toward a more fulfilling life. Andy holds the NCPS credential, a professional qualification that reflects his training and commitment to practice.

Working from a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy framework, Andy helps clients see how thoughts, feelings, and behaviour influence one another and works collaboratively to identify the most changeable starting points. He aims for practical progress that many clients begin to notice within six to twelve sessions, while recognising that the overall number of sessions is tailored to each person. He offers flexible session formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different needs and schedules.

Listening is central to Andy's approach. He draws on decades of professional experience in listening roles, and he has published a book and delivered presentations on related subjects. Many clients highlight the value of being heard, and Andy considers it a privilege to provide that attentive support as part of the therapy process. He is accepting new clients in the United Kingdom.

CBT and Listening-Focused Support for Online Therapy

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is central to Andy's practice. CBT helps people identify and test unhelpful thoughts and the behaviours that follow, replacing them with more balanced patterns to reduce distress and improve day-to-day functioning. This approach is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, OCD, and stress-related issues.

Alongside structured CBT work, Andy emphasises attentive, listening-focused support. He brings extensive professional listening experience to sessions, helping clients feel heard while exploring what matters most to them and building practical strategies that align with their goals.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Andy works with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting pace and techniques as progress unfolds. He offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy adaptable to different lifestyles. These online options increase flexibility - they allow sessions outside standard office settings, reduce travel time, and make it easier to maintain continuity of care during busy or unpredictable periods. Together, these elements support consistent, accessible work toward meaningful change.
