About John
John Goodrick is a Therapeutic Counsellor registered with the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP). He has ten years' experience and works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, anger, self-esteem problems and depression. He also supports those dealing with relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, eating and sleeping problems, parenting pressures and mood conditions such as bipolar and ADHD.
John keeps language plain in sessions and aims to be approachable and direct. He explains ideas in everyday terms and avoids clinical jargon. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on small, practical steps a person can try between meetings.
His background includes more than a decade of work in mental health settings, a BSc (Hons) in Sociology and a Postgraduate Diploma in Careers Guidance. He later completed a Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and joined the BACP. That mix of frontline experience and study shapes how he responds to practical life problems.
In practice he works by listening first, then helping people spot patterns in thinking and behaviour that keep problems going. He aims to make goals clear and manageable. Conversations can cover coping strategies, communication skills, sleep and eating habits, and ways to reduce panic or low mood.
People who come for support can expect straightforward conversation, practical suggestions and a focus on real-life changes. Before booking, confirm which session formats are offered at the time so arrangements match your needs.

Therapeutic approaches and practical online work
John uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on present-day thoughts and behaviours. One common strand is practical cognitive work that helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and test different ways of responding. This approach is useful for anxiety, panic and low mood because it breaks cycles that keep problems going.He also draws on behavioural strategies that change everyday routines, such as sleep, activity levels and coping choices. These techniques are helpful for depression, sleep issues, addictions and low motivation because they focus on concrete, repeatable actions rather than long explanations.
Finding the best approach is part of the work. He will discuss different methods with the client and agree a plan based on the person's goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made if something is not helping.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the available formats before booking. Many people find remote therapy helps fit sessions into a busy week, allows shorter check-ins when needed, and reduces time spent travelling. Practical benefits often include easier scheduling across time zones for international clients and the ability to maintain continuity of care when life circumstances change.
