Andrea Headington helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties and family problems. She also supports those coping with grief, low self-esteem, depression and big life changes. Andrea works with issues around intimacy, anger, trauma and abuse, and other concerns such as panic attacks and social anxiety.

Andrea uses a calm, straightforward style in sessions. She aims to make it easy to talk about difficult topics. Conversations focus on what is happening now and what practical steps feel possible next.

Background and approach

She listens without judgement and tailors her approach to each person. Andrea draws on Client-Centred Therapy to create a respectful space where people feel heard. She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to help identify patterns of thinking and behaviour that get in the way and to try new ways of coping.

These methods are used together to fit the goals someone brings to therapy. With ten years of experience, Andrea brings steady support and clear guidance. Her BACP credential means she is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

She practises from the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English. Andrea aims to help people find more clarity and stronger coping skills. She works collaboratively so clients can set manageable goals and track small changes over time.

The focus is on real-life improvements people can notice between sessions.

How Andrea uses talking therapies online

Client-Centred Therapy is about creating a warm, non-judgemental space where the person leads the conversation. It helps with feeling listened to, building self-understanding and gaining confidence to try new things. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and habits and practising small changes to reduce anxiety, manage mood and improve coping.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Andrea will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and decide together which methods to use. This collaborative process means the plan can change as needs shift and new priorities emerge.

Online sessions can fit around busy lives. Video calls allow a face-to-face conversation without travel, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low, live chat works for shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging can support ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it straightforward to choose what suits daily routines and communication styles.
