John Day , HCPC

John Day is an HCPC-registered therapist in the United Kingdom with five years of clinical experience. The HCPC is the Health and Care Professions Council, the UK regulator for health and care professionals. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, relationship difficulties, depression, trauma and abuse, and grief, helping them navigate both immediate challenges and longer-term life changes.

John brings a calm, respectful, and compassionate manner to his work and tailors conversation and treatment plans to each person’s needs. He draws on a range of clinical approaches to address issues such as intimacy-related struggles, anger, feelings of emptiness, communication problems, and the impact of separation or divorce. He also supports those coping with substance use, mood disorders, social anxiety, and challenges linked to autism and Asperger syndrome.

John aims to create a collaborative space where people can explore their goals and develop practical strategies to manage symptoms and rebuild a sense of purpose. He frames the therapeutic process around the individual’s priorities, pacing work to fit their circumstances and focusing on meaningful, achievable change.

Integrating therapeutic approaches for online care

John Day often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy, along with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy when appropriate. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without avoiding them, then take values-based action to build a more meaningful life - it can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in relationships formed early in life and how they affect current bonds and intimacy - it is helpful for relationship difficulties, abandonment concerns, and attachment-related distress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) examines the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical strategies to shift unhelpful patterns; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and coping with stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and John works collaboratively with each person to identify what fits their needs, goals, and preferences. He tailors methods and pacing so therapy aligns with the individual's circumstances and priorities.

Online sessions - via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to access support from different locations. These options offer flexibility in scheduling and communication style, allowing people to choose the format that feels most comfortable while working with licensed professionals and therapists.
