About me

My practice
Andy Simpson Counselling provides counselling to children through to young adults.  He firmly believes that everyone deserves support and understanding, and he is enthusiastic about helping his clients achieve their goals.​

Andy is a certified registered counsellor with over 17 years of experience supporting children, adolescents, and young adults and their families in overcoming daily challenges through various mediums, including counselling, group work, and peer support. His counselling journey began after facing personal challenges, including neurodiversity and mental ill-health. This led him to develop practice wisdom through supporting children, young people via outreach in primary and secondary schools, as well as several years of experience in not-for-profit agencies and organisations specialising in disability, young carers, homelessness, family violence, mental health recovery, personal wellbeing, and overall welfare.

Through his journey, Andy has discovered the transformative power of imagination, positivity, and play in addressing personal problems that come with being human. He is passionate about empowering individuals to find creative ways to express, explore, and resolve their difficulties. Andy's practice approach focuses on creating a safe and trusting therapeutic environment for self-exploration, using playful, fun, and non-confrontational methods to facilitate personal growth, both verbally and non-verbally.

Andy recognises that not everyone has capacity to come into an office is able to provide outreach to schools and within the community. Please contact Andy to discuss outreach possibilities.
