Andrea Headington
Calm practical support for emotional and relationship strain
About Andrea
Andrea Headington helps people facing stress, anxiety and relationship difficulties. She works with issues such as grief, intimacy-related concerns, trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem and depression. She also supports people navigating divorce and separation, family problems, guilt and shame, and questions about life purpose and midlife change.
Andrea uses a straightforward, person-focused style. She creates a space where people can speak plainly about what is worrying them. Sessions aim to identify practical steps as well as ways to make sense of painful feelings.
Background and approach
The goal is clearer thinking and steadier day-to-day coping. Her approach draws on Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on listening and understanding the person rather than directing them. She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to help spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try small experiments to test new ways of responding.
These methods are used together depending on the concern and the persons goals. Andrea has ten years of experience working with adults across a range of emotional and relational problems. She holds BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy credential, which reflects professional registration in the UK.
Her practice is conducted in English and is delivered online by appointment. People who come to Andrea can expect a calm, non-judgemental approach. She helps people make manageable changes and rebuild confidence after difficult events.
Initial steps are straightforward and start with a short matching questionnaire to find the best fit.

How Andreas approaches work in online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy is about being listened to and understood. The counsellor focuses on your experience and helps you explore feelings at your own pace, which can be useful for grief, relationship concerns and low self-worth.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviours. It is practical and often used for anxiety, panic attacks, depression and social phobia by breaking problems into manageable steps.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Andrea will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and agree a way of working together. This collaborative discussion helps decide whether to emphasise listening and exploration, CBT-style tasks, or a blend of both.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls recreate face-to-face sessions, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be used for quick check-ins, while live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins or days when writing feels easier. These options give flexibility so people can keep therapy going around work, study and family commitments.
