About Andy
Andy Fairie offers straightforward support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood or loss. He makes space for honest conversation and helps people take practical steps to feel steadier. Andy introduces ideas clearly and works at a pace that suits each person.
Andy trained in the United Kingdom and has three years of experience working with concerns such as depression, trauma and abuse, addictions, panic and obsessive thinking.
Background and approach
He also focuses on issues like attachment and abandonment, communication problems, chronic illness and feelings of isolation. He is listed with NCPS which is shown as his credential. His main approach is Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which uses everyday skills to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour.
Sessions often include simple exercises and short tasks to practise between meetings. Andy aims for clear, measurable steps so people can spot small improvements. Andy offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging.
This mix lets people pick what suits their routine - longer conversations on video or shorter check-ins by message. He schedules appointments across weekdays and some weekend times to fit different needs. Beginning therapy with Andy starts with a short matching questionnaire and booking a session.
He emphasises listening first and creating a non-judgemental space where feelings and worries can be talked through. He approaches each conversation with attention and practical suggestions.

Approaches Andy lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
The therapist will work with each person to find which techniques feel right. That process is collaborative - goals, preferences and day-to-day needs guide which methods are used. Andy aims to tailor CBT ideas to what fits the individual rather than applying the same plan to everyone.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging so people can choose what suits their day. Video calls allow longer conversations and visual cues, phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text are useful for shorter check-ins or for people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family commitments and other routines while still practising CBT exercises between appointments.
