Northstar Counselling
My name is Andy, and I am a qualified member of the BACP. I have completed Levels 2, 3 and 5 in Therapeutic Counselling and have experience working in residential treatment as an addiction therapist.
I am particularly passionate about male-centred therapy and hold additional certificates in this area. I offer a supportive, non-judgemental space for men to speak openly, explore what they are going through, and move towards positive change.
I am fully insured and work both online and in a person.
A safe, non-judgemental space for men.
Sharing your struggles is not a sign of weakness — it is a courageous step towards healing.
At Northstar, I offer dedicated counselling for men, providing a safe, confidential space to explore life’s challenges and work towards feeling more like yourself again.
Support tailored for men's mental well-being
Society places heavy expectations on men, often making it difficult to reach out. We provide a range of tailored therapeutic services to help you navigate modern life.
One-to-one therapy
Confidential one-to-one sessions where you can talk openly about emotional difficulties, anxiety or depression — without fear of judgement.
Stress and pressure management
Develop healthier ways to cope with the pressures of modern life, from society’s expectations to stress at work.
Grief and loss support
A compassionate, confidential space to process bereavement and loss, grounded in trust and personal understanding.
Personal development
Build self-awareness, improve communication, and break free from toxic societal expectations holding you back.
Founded on trust and lived experience
Having seen firsthand the impact that unrealistic expectations can have on men, I founded Northstar Counselling to offer a genuine source of support.
My aim is to build a therapeutic relationship based on empathy, understanding and trust — a space where you can be honest about what you are facing and feel heard without judgement.
Taking the first step is an act of courage
You do not have to carry the weight alone. Here, you will find a quiet, comfortable space where your voice is heard, respected and valued.
