John Lennox, BACP

John Lennox BACP is a counsellor who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and relationship or intimacy-related issues. He also supports people coping with trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, addictions and life changes. John works with clients on practical problems like sleep, eating, parenting and career concerns as well as identity and LGBT matters.

He brings 14 years of experience in therapeutic work and uses a mix of approaches to suit each person. Sessions focus on clear, manageable steps and the things someone can try between meetings. The style is collaborative and down-to-earth, with emphasis on building trust and understanding what matters to the individual.

In practice John draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based ideas alongside client-centred listening. That combination is used to look at thoughts, emotional patterns and relationship dynamics. He aims to help clients notice unhelpful habits and try new ways of coping.

John places attention on real-life problems such as workplace stress, bereavement, caring responsibilities and complex emotional responses after trauma. He also supports people with body image, commitment and control issues, and those exploring kink and alternative sexual cultures.

Clients can expect straightforward conversations, practical exercises and goal-setting tailored to their situation. John works in English and accepts international clients. To start, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability.

How John’s approaches translate to online work

John regularly uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy in his work. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours to identify patterns that can be changed and is often used for anxiety, depression and stress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while focusing on values and small actions that move life in a chosen direction. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationship patterns affect current connections and helps people build more steady ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy itself. John will discuss what feels most useful and test methods together. Sessions are collaborative, so a plan can be adapted as goals and preferences become clearer.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caring responsibilities or travel. It can allow shorter check-ins, help avoid travel time and let people join from different time zones when that suits them. Registered or accredited professionals can use these flexible arrangements to keep therapy practical and focused on everyday change.
