John Day

John Day is a counsellor who focuses on helping people feeling isolated or struggling with loneliness find connection and steadier days. He works with individuals coping with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties and depression. He aims to meet people where they are and offers straightforward, respectful support.

He uses practical conversations to help people with coping skills and clearer thinking. Sessions are shaped around each person’s worries and goals rather than a fixed script. John emphasises sensitivity and compassion in the way he listens and responds.

With five years of experience and HCPC registration, he draws on a range of therapeutic approaches. These include acceptance and commitment ideas, cognitive behavioural techniques and attachment-focused work. He blends methods to match what feels useful for each person.

People often come to him for help with life changes, grief, intimacy issues, anger or social anxiety. He also supports concerns such as abandonment, emptiness, and substance problems. The focus is on practical next steps and clearer personal priorities.

John encourages a collaborative relationship where clients set the pace. He asks about what matters to you, what has worked before, and what you want to change. That information shapes the plan for sessions and the skills practised between meetings.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing difficult thoughts and feelings and choosing actions that match personal values. It can help when loneliness, anxiety or low mood make it hard to take steps towards connection. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and helps people try practical changes to reduce anxiety or depressive patterns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, past experiences and what has felt helpful before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-in meetings when that suits the day. It can also allow people to use voice-only sessions if they prefer less bandwidth or find video tiring. Registered or accredited professionals offering online sessions can adapt exercises, homework and conversational techniques to the remote setting to keep therapy focused and practical.
