About Andrea

Andrea Headington helps people manage stress, anxiety, low mood and major life changes. She works with individuals facing relationship strain, family difficulties, grief, trauma and issues around intimacy. Her approach also covers anger, self-esteem, panic attacks and challenges such as divorce or midlife questioning.

Andrea creates a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk openly. She emphasises listening first and follows the pace set by each person. Conversations focus on what feels most urgent and practical steps that can make daily life easier.

Background and approach

Andrea uses Client-Centred Therapy to prioritise the person in the room and build trust. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to help identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try small experiments that shift how someone copes. These methods are used together to tackle symptoms and the situations that feed them.

With ten years of experience, Andrea has worked with people across common emotional and relationship difficulties. Her registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) is noted as BACP. She practises from the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English.

People who choose Andrea often want straightforward support and clear steps to feel better. She aims to empower clients to make changes they can sustain, and to build stronger ways of managing stress, grief and relationship strain over time.

How Andrea's approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's perspective. The therapist follows the client's lead, helping them find their own solutions and feel heard. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours connect. It involves practical exercises and experiments to reduce anxiety, manage panic and change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Andrea collaborates with each person to choose whether a gentler person-led style or a more structured CBT focus suits their goals. She checks in regularly and adapts techniques to match progress and preferences so therapy stays relevant.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face conversation when that feels helpful. Phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging allow short check-ins or reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life while keeping a consistent process with a registered professional.
