John Day, HCPC

John Day helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, addiction or low mood. He speaks plainly and makes the first steps feel manageable. He works with people who are coping with relationship strain, grief, anger and big life changes.

John uses straightforward conversation to map out what matters most to each person. He adapts sessions to the issues brought in, and keeps plans simple and practical. The goal is to build small changes that add up to better day-to-day functioning.

He draws on a mix of approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas. These approaches shape how he helps people notice unhelpful patterns, try different ways of thinking, and reconnect with what they value.

John has five years of professional experience and is registered with the HCPC. HCPC refers to the Health and Care Professions Council, the regulator that oversees certain health professionals in the United Kingdom.

Sessions aim to be respectful and sensitive, with a focus on practical steps people can use between meetings. John encourages honest questions about approach and pace so people can feel involved in planning their work together.

If someone is unsure whether therapy is a good fit, John offers a clear first conversation to look at goals and options before committing to a plan.

How John’s approaches translate to online therapy

John combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and take values-based actions. ACT emphasises noticing difficult thoughts and committing to actions that match what matters to you, which can help with anxiety, depression and life transitions. CBT focuses on spotting thinking and behaviour patterns and trying practical exercises to shift them, useful for anxiety, mood and social fears.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. John will collaborate with each person to choose or blend methods that suit their goals and preferences. He encourages open conversation about what feels useful and adjusts plans as progress is made.

Confirm current session options before booking as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when that suits. It can also let people use quieter surroundings or switch off video when that is more comfortable. Registered or accredited professionals including therapists can offer effective help through remote sessions when the approach and practical arrangements fit the person's needs.
