About Andrea
Andrea Headington is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with ten years of professional experience. She focuses on common pressures such as stress, anxiety, depression, and anger, and she also helps with relationship and family difficulties, grief, intimacy issues, and coping with major life changes.
Andrea keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She listens without judgement and helps people talk through what is happening in day-to-day life. Conversations often centre on what is getting in the way of calmer responses and clearer thinking.
Her work draws on client-centred therapy, which prioritises the person’s perspective and personal resources. She also uses elements of cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) to look at thoughts and actions that feed stress and anger. Those methods are used to help people test small changes and see what helps in practice.
Andrea has supported people through divorce and separation, family problems, guilt and shame, and recovery after betrayal. She also addresses issues such as panic attacks, social anxiety, self-esteem, and questions around life purpose and midlife shifts.
Sessions are conducted in English and she does not work with international clients. Costs vary with location and sessions run on a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.
How sessions work
How Andrea’s approaches translate to online sessions
Andrea works with client-centred therapy and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) in ways that suit conversation over distance. Client-centred work focuses on the person’s experience, listening to what matters most and building on that. It helps when someone needs to be heard and to identify their own strengths for handling anger and stress.CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It helps spot patterns that increase anxiety or reactive anger and tests small changes to see what reduces tension. That approach is often useful for panic attacks, social anxiety, rumination and problem-solving around relationship conflicts.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Andrea treats approach choice as a collaborative decision based on a person’s goals, preferences and practical needs. She will discuss options and adapt methods so they fit the issues being worked on.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals, including counsellors and therapists, commonly use online work to help people maintain consistency and continue practical progress without rearranging their whole day.
