About John
John Lennox is a counsellor with 14 years of experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, depression and parenting concerns. He works with issues such as trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem, addictions and relationship or intimacy-related worries. He practises in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English, including support for LGBT clients and those coping with major life change.
John uses a mix of talking therapies that put the person at the centre of care.
Background and approach
He listens first, then helps people set small, realistic goals. He draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to spot unhelpful thought patterns. He also uses acceptance and mindfulness-based techniques to build more flexible ways of responding to difficult feelings.
His background includes many years working with people who have experienced trauma, bereavement and work-related stress. He combines structured approaches with emotionally focused work when relationships or attachment issues come up. That combination helps people tackle symptoms and explore the feelings underneath them.
Sessions are practical and straightforward. People can expect clear aims, tools to practise between meetings, and conversational reflection during sessions. The pace is adjusted to each person so work feels manageable rather than overwhelming.
John accepts international clients and offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. He holds registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, listed as BACP, and uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

Approaches that translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then taking steps that match personal values; it can help with anxiety, low mood and parenting stress. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and gives practical exercises for changing patterns that keep problems going; it is useful for worry, sleep issues and depression. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to relationship patterns and emotional bonds, helping people understand how past connections affect present reactions and close relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try first. That collaborative process allows adjustments over time so the plan fits how you want to work.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility around busy lives. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues. Phone sessions can fit a short break at work or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or messaging can suit quick check-ins, journalling between appointments or people who prefer writing over speaking.
