About John
HCPC; 5 years' experience. John Day works with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties and depression. He also supports people facing trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues and anger. He uses a mix of approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Existential Therapy.
John starts by hearing what matters most to the person in front of him. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps. Conversations are direct and grounded, using evidence-based techniques where helpful and relational thinking when the issue calls for it.
He often uses CBT to look at thinking and behaviour patterns that keep problems active. ACT is used to help people notice what matters to them and take small steps towards those values. Attachment-based ideas are applied when early relationships affect present-day trust and connection.
John has five years of experience in practice across the United Kingdom. His HCPC registration is listed as a professional credential. He works in English and accepts international clients.
People come to him for a range of concerns beyond the headline issues. These include abandonment fears, communication problems, divorce and separation, substance misuse, feelings of emptiness, guilt and shame, isolation and questions about life purpose. He also addresses men's issues, midlife crisis and social anxiety.
If someone wishes to start, the usual process is to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Fees vary with location and sessions are provided via a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How John blends therapy approaches and online work
John commonly uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to help people spot and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns; this can be useful for anxiety, mood problems and some types of addiction. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is used to clarify personal values and support small committed actions towards them, often helping with feelings of emptiness, low mood and life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how earlier relationships shape current trust and closeness, which can be relevant for intimacy-related issues and relationship struggles.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. John aims to discuss which methods fit each person’s goals and preferences and to adjust the plan as therapy progresses. This is a collaborative process that mixes practical techniques with discussions about relationships and meaning.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm how sessions are offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow quicker check-ins when needed. It can also let someone choose quieter surroundings, avoid being on camera or use a shorter appointment when that suits their schedule. Registered or accredited professionals can work this way effectively when approach and practical arrangements suit the person.
