About Me
I'm Andrew McGarrol
I’m a trained social worker and counsellor with over 20 years of experience supporting people through difficult times, uncertainty and change.
My approach is practical, compassionate and tailored to you. I don’t believe counselling is a one-size-fits-all process. Together, we can make sense of what’s happening, identify what might be keeping you stuck, and work towards the changes that matter to you.
My Philosophy
"The person is not the problem. The problem is the problem".
I believe you are more than the difficulties you’re experiencing. The challenges you face don’t define who you are.
My role is to work alongside you, without judgement, to understand the problem, recognize your strengths, and find ways forward that work for you.
I aim to provide a relaxed, down-to-earth space where you can be yourself and talk openly.
