Andrew Collings is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. He helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, grief, depression and the after-effects of trauma and abuse. He speaks English and aims to make the first step feel manageable for someone who is unsure about therapy.

He creates an open, non-judgemental space where clients can talk about difficult thoughts and feelings. Conversations are straightforward and paced to suit each person.

Background and approach

Andrew focuses on listening first and helping people find what feels most useful for them. Many people come to see him with relationship problems, panic attacks, or ongoing mood difficulties. He also supports those dealing with abandonment and attachment issues, body image concerns, and the strain of being a caregiver.

Practical ways to cope with chronic pain, illness or disability are part of his remit. Andrew offers help around communication problems, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, and questions about life purpose. He also works with men’s issues and difficulties linked to narcissism.

Sessions aim to identify small, realistic changes clients can try between meetings. Sessions can be arranged by following the site process and completing a short matching questionnaire. Andrew uses a friendly, steady approach designed to reduce overwhelm and make it easier to take the next step toward feeling better.

Approaches and how online therapy can help

Andrew uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional understanding. One approach helps people identify unhelpful thought patterns and try alternative ways of thinking and behaving to reduce anxiety and low mood. Another approach concentrates on processing difficult experiences and building tolerance for strong emotions after trauma or loss.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Andrew will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then decide together which way of working feels most helpful. The process is collaborative and adjusted over time as needs change.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video is useful for a fuller face-to-face feel, phone calls can be quieter and need less bandwidth, and messaging or live chat can suit short check-ins or people who prefer not to use audio. These options give flexibility for work breaks, caregiving schedules, or those who travel frequently, while keeping the focus on steady progress and practical coping strategies.
