About John

John Day is a HCPC-registered clinician practising in the United Kingdom with five years of professional experience. He works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship strain, depression and anger. Sessions focus on practical steps to manage feelings and responses rather than labels or quick fixes.

He draws on a mix of practical therapies. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is used to spot thinking patterns that feed anger and anxiety. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult emotions and choose actions that fit their values. Attachment-based ideas inform work around relationships and intimacy-related issues.

John keeps things straightforward in sessions. He listens, helps map out patterns, and practises skills together that can be used in daily life. That can mean learning calmer ways to respond in a heated moment or planning small changes that reduce build-up of resentment.

He also supports people coping with grief, trauma and life changes such as separation or midlife shifts. Other areas he addresses include social anxiety, men’s issues, feelings of emptiness, and difficulties linked to autism and Asperger syndrome.

Work typically combines talking, behavioural experiments and simple exercises to try between sessions. The focus is on what the person wants to change and on clear, manageable steps toward that goal.

How his approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on noticing difficult feelings and choosing actions that matter to the person. Online work can involve short mindfulness or noticing exercises and planning behaviour aligned with values. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy targets the thoughts and behaviours that keep anger or anxiety going. In remote sessions this often becomes a mix of discussion, cognitive tools and homework tasks to try between meetings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss what feels most helpful and adapt methods in collaboration with the client. That means checking what goals matter, trying an approach, and changing it if something else fits better.

Confirm the session formats available before booking as the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a working day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when that suits. They can also allow practical exercises to be tried in the client’s usual environment and reviewed together, making it simpler to test small changes in everyday life.
