Talking Spaces Counselling - Hartlepool

Michael Allport

Can't recommend Andy highly enough. When I started working with Andy, I was a real crossroads with my life. Not only is the environment 110% safe and judgment free, Andy truly listens, understands and gives incredible perspective on a whole range of matters and has truly played an enormous part in a whole load of positive changes in my life. Can't recommend Andy highly enough. I am extremely grateful to him!

Adam Cook

If you need someone who will listen, truly listen then Andrew is the guy for you. His ability to ascertain viewpoints from situations you believed were unreadable, is phenomenal.

Whether it’s a casual check up with him every now and then or something more time consuming, he’s there to listen and help.

Couldn’t recommend enough!

John Harrington

Basically and simply helped save me. I was at my lowest ever in my life! it took everything I had to take the step and make contact but realising if I did not try then I would have lost everything in my life and maybe my life its self.
Andrew was a fantastic calming voice. Listening and asking. Probing but not in an offensive manner. Gets YOU to review YOU not making statements or direct comments. Cleverly directs YOUR thinking and attitude to look at everything from a different perspective to the one that got you there in the first place. Makes you appreciate everything you are, have achieved and could and want to be.
Yes, the "work" is down to you and you get what you put in as always - but WHAT a mentor and counsel to have. I have to say I believe Andrew was my guide through a very troubling time.
I will be forever grateful for his time and patience.
If you find yourself being troubled mentally or emotionally I could not recommend Andrew highly enough.
If you are reading this then you are where I was, so PLEASE take that faltering nervous step and you will soon be running.
Take care and look after yourselves, because if you don't who will and how can you be good for the ones that matter to you .

Andrew creates a warm and empathic environment which enabled me to feel safe when working through challenging emotions. Being the only male counsellor in Hartlepool so far, he offers an authentic space for people to figure out their thoughts and feelings without judgment or opinions.

Andy helped me understand my worth again, brought back my confidence and talked me through any and every situation and thought process. I have a fresh and stronger look on life and my future and that is down to Andy and I would consider him now as a friend and not just as my counsellor .

I’ve found it so rewarding to work with Andrew recently on mindset, energy and attitude to change with a particular focus on business and leadership. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend working with Andrew to anyone who is interested in self development, healing and challenging yourself.

JustCounselling helped me through a time in my life when I absolutely needed someone to talk to, and help me work through some things - I had just come to the end of a long term relationship, changed jobs, was lonely, homesick, and very far away from my usual support network. I couldn't recommend him highly enough, and I don't think I would have made it through without him. He has a kind, warm, approachable, accessible manner which will work for a lot of different people, he is easy to talk to, and he makes you feel comfortable (and in my case, not crazy!)... if you're thinking of getting help, or just think that you might need someone to talk to, this is the guy to talk to!

Abbie Measor

Andy has really helped me understand and process my feelings. I feel like it’s a safe space to be honest about how I feel and that he will challenge my perception of events where necessary. I would highly recommend Andy
