About John
John Lennox is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 14 years of experience. He focuses on common concerns that affect life at home and work, including stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and family difficulties, parenting strains, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem.
He uses straightforward talk and practical techniques rather than jargon. Sessions tend to look at what is happening now, what has been difficult in the past, and small steps that can change day-to-day life. He draws on approaches such as cognitive behavioural therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to help people manage symptoms and behaviour.
John also works with people who have experienced trauma, abuse or significant loss. He pays attention to attachment patterns and how early relationships shape current reactions. That can help when someone is coping with abandonment fears, caregiving stress, blended family tensions, or difficult communication with relatives.
When parenting feels like too much, he helps adults sort priorities, set boundaries, and find practical routines that reduce pressure. For those dealing with addictions, body image, or sexual expression such as BDSM and kink, he aims to keep discussions direct and non-judgemental so practical options emerge.
Sessions are offered in English and John accepts international clients. Costs vary by location and are handled through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and online working
John commonly uses cognitive behavioural therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and habits and testing them with small behavioural changes. It works well for anxiety, low mood, sleeping problems and day-to-day coping. ACT helps people accept difficult feelings while choosing actions that match their values; it can be useful for stress, avoidance patterns and long-term behaviour change.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences in early sessions and help decide which methods to try. That way the plan is shaped by what the client needs and what feels manageable in their life.
Confirm the precise session options before booking, as the biography does not list formats. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around family life and work commitments. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, or meetings without video if someone prefers less bandwidth or a quieter exchange. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists, often use online sessions to reach people who live far away or who need more flexible scheduling.
