About Andrea
Andrea Headington helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship worries and family tensions. She supports parents and adults coping with grief, anger, low self-esteem and major life changes. Her aim is to make taking the first step feel less daunting for someone who needs support.
Andrea creates a calm, open space where people can speak about difficult feelings without judgement. She listens closely and encourages honest conversation about what is most worrying right now. Sessions focus on practical ways to manage emotions alongside understanding what drives recurring patterns.
Her approach blends Client-Centred Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which means she adapts to each person while offering concrete tools to try between meetings. That can include looking at unhelpful thinking, testing new behaviours, and practising small changes that build over time.
Clients describe her work as down-to-earth and supportive, with a steady focus on achievable steps. Andrea brings ten years of experience working with adults in the United Kingdom and uses that background to guide clear, realistic planning.
She also works with people dealing with divorce and separation, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and intimacy-related issues. If you want help sorting priorities, managing panic or rethinking your life direction, she will work with you to set reasonable goals and review progress.
How Andrea's approaches translate to online work
Andrea uses Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in straightforward, practical ways. Client-Centred Therapy means the conversation is led by the client, with the counsellor reflecting back what is said and helping you clarify feelings and choices. This approach is useful when someone needs space to make sense of complex family or relationship feelings.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behaviour changes. CBT is helpful for anxiety, panic, low mood and many everyday problems because it gives clear steps to practise between sessions.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Andrea will discuss your goals and preferences and help decide which methods to try. Over a few meetings you can review what feels most helpful and shift the plan if needed.
If you are considering online therapy, please confirm the session options before booking because the biography does not list formats. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find remote sessions helpful for keeping steady progress while juggling family commitments.
