About Andrea

Andrea Headington is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 10 years of professional experience. She focuses on stress and anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, grief and loss, and other concerns such as self-esteem and coping with life changes. Andrea uses Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to shape sessions around what each person needs.

Andrea helps people talk through upsetting or confusing events. She offers direct conversation about feelings, practical steps to manage anxious moments, and gentle exploration of relationship patterns. Sessions aim to make thoughts and emotions clearer so choices become easier.

Her approach is straightforward and person-focused. Client-Centred Therapy guides the conversation by following what feels most important to the client. CBT is used when looking at thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going and developing strategies to change them.

Andrea commonly supports people dealing with grief, trauma and abuse, anger, sexual issues, and midlife concerns. She also works on problems linked to divorce and separation, infidelity, guilt and shame, and panic attacks. Where useful, she combines conversational work with practical skills to reduce distress and improve day-to-day coping.

Sessions are conducted in English. Prospective clients should check the current session formats and practical details before booking. To begin, people are invited to complete the platform's matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment.

How Andrea uses Client-Centred and CBT approaches online

Andrea describes Client-Centred Therapy as a way to let the client's priorities guide the conversation. Online sessions using this approach focus on listening, reflecting back what matters, and helping the client make sense of feelings and choices. This is useful for relationship issues, grief, and when people need space to talk through difficult events.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her work looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. Online CBT sessions typically involve identifying unhelpful thinking patterns, testing them in daily life and practising skills to reduce anxiety or panic. This approach is often used for stress, panic attacks, social anxiety and depression symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Andrea works collaboratively to decide whether to focus on listening-led work, practical CBT skills, or a mix. She adapts the methods to the client's goals and preferences and reviews progress together as therapy continues.

Session formats are not listed in the supplied biography, so please confirm which options are available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove the need to travel. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often use these practical benefits to help people maintain regular contact and steady progress.
