Andrea Headington

Andrea Headington helps people manage stress, anxiety and anger. She supports people working through relationship strains, family problems, grief, low self-esteem and difficult life changes. Andrea also addresses intimacy-related issues, trauma and abuse, and mood concerns such as depression and panic attacks.

Andrea uses a straightforward, compassionate approach in sessions. She aims to make conversations feel calm and non-judgemental so people can talk openly about what matters to them. The first meetings focus on what is most troubling and on practical steps people can try between sessions.

Her way of working combines client-centred therapy with cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT. Client-centred work focuses on listening and following the person’s lead. CBT looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and tests small changes to reduce distress.

Andrea has ten years of experience in counselling and is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That registration indicates she follows professional practice standards in the UK.

Sessions are paced to suit each person and often include simple practical tools, clearer ways to notice thoughts and feelings, and time to reflect on progress. Andrea encourages realistic goals and steady steps, not quick fixes. She aims to support lasting change while keeping conversations down-to-earth and manageable.

If someone is thinking about starting, Andrea asks them to consider what they want to change and what feels achievable right now. That helps make early sessions focused and useful.

How Andrea’s approaches work online

Andrea uses client-centred work and cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, to help people manage thoughts, feelings and behaviour. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s concerns so they can feel heard and make sense of difficult emotions. CBT helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and tries out small behavioural experiments to reduce anxiety, panic and low mood.

Finding the right approach is a shared task. Andrea will discuss goals, preferences and what feels helpful, and together they will choose which methods to try. Sessions often mix listening, practical exercises and short take-home tasks to build new habits over time.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it simpler to continue support through life changes while keeping focus on steady, manageable steps.
