John Lennox, BACP

John Lennox is a counsellor with 14 years of professional experience who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and issues with self-esteem. He also supports those coping with life changes, grief, addictions and relationship or intimacy-related concerns. John works with people dealing with career pressure, sleeping or eating problems, parenting strain and specific areas such as abandonment and ageing and geriatric issues.

He uses straightforward, person-focused conversations to find what matters most to each person. Sessions aim to build practical skills for day-to-day life, such as managing anxious thoughts, setting boundaries, or pacing recovery after loss or trauma. John combines tools from cognitive behavioural and mindfulness approaches with client-centred listening.

John holds registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and has practised across a variety of settings. That background has informed his work with people who have experienced abuse, bereavement and long-term stress. He often brings brief exercises into sessions to help people practice between meetings.

He describes his style as collaborative and calm. People can expect clear explanations, gentle challenge and a focus on small, steady steps. The aim is to help someone feel more able to manage everyday pressures and to notice change over time.

When arranging therapy with John, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to his availability. International clients may be accommodated and sessions are conducted in English.

Approaches that shape online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without fighting them, and to commit to actions that match their values. It can help when worry or avoidance gets in the way of daily life. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and trying small experiments to change feelings and behaviour; it is often used for anxiety, low mood and sleep difficulties. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns formed in close relationships and helps people understand how those patterns affect current connections and emotional responses.

Finding the right way of working is part of the process. John will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and experiences and suggest an approach or a blend of methods. That collaboration makes it easier to try techniques that fit someone’s situation and to adjust the plan as progress is made.

If you are thinking about online therapy, confirm the session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific options. Online appointments can make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life - for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a lunch break or offering sessions when work or caregiving schedules make in-person visits difficult. Discuss practical arrangements when you schedule so sessions suit your daily routine.
