About Andrea

Andrea Headington is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with 10 years of professional experience. She works with people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and family problems, grief and loss, and anger. Andrea also supports clients facing issues such as intimacy concerns, low self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes.

Her approach puts the client at the centre of the work. She listens without judgement and helps people talk through what is happening in their life. Andrea uses Client-Centred Therapy alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to help people notice patterns in thought and behaviour and try different ways of responding.

Sessions are practical and down to earth. Andrea helps people identify triggers for anger, test out small changes, and practise new responses. She also works through relationship and family dynamics that feed tension, and helps with grief, guilt, shame and recovery after separation or infidelity.

Andrea has supported people through panic attacks, midlife shifts, questions about life purpose, and difficulties around intimacy and sexual behaviour. Her work includes addressing social anxiety and the pressures young adults often face when starting out.

To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange a first session. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. International clients are not currently accepted.

How her approaches translate to online work

Andrea uses Client-Centred Therapy to prioritise the client’s perspective and to listen closely. This approach focuses on clear, non-directive listening and helps people feel understood while they talk through difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used alongside this. CBT breaks down unhelpful thoughts and behaviours into manageable steps and is often used for anxiety, panic and anger-related patterns.

Finding the best way of working is part of the process. Andrea will discuss goals, preferences and practical constraints with each person and will adjust which methods are used as the work develops. The decision about which approach to emphasise is made together rather than assumed at the start.

The original biography does not state which online formats are offered. Please confirm current session options before booking. In general, remote sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also allow people to try talking through anger triggers and rehearsal exercises from wherever they are at the time, which can help with applying new responses in daily life.
