About Andrew

Andrew Collings is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. He supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, and depression. He aims to make the first step into therapy feel manageable and acknowledges the courage it takes to begin.

He creates an open environment where clients can talk about thoughts and feelings without fear of judgement. Sessions focus on listening carefully and helping people name what feels hard.

Background and approach

He works at a pace that suits the person in front of him and keeps practical, everyday language in sessions. Andrew draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people understand patterns, manage symptoms, and find clearer ways to cope. He helps people work through issues like attachment and abandonment, body image concerns, and chronic illness or pain.

He also supports those facing communication problems, divorce and separation, and feelings of guilt or shame. His practice addresses mood disorders, panic attacks, isolation and loneliness, and questions about life purpose or men's issues. He also offers support for those affected by narcissism-related difficulties and caregiver stress.

Sessions try to balance emotional understanding with concrete steps clients can use between meetings. Andrew offers sessions in English and works with a range of formats to suit different needs. He encourages anyone considering therapy to take the first step and complete the short matching questionnaire to begin the process.

Focus areas and approaches

Everything Andrew lists on their public professional profile, in their own terms.

Evidence-based approaches and online sessions

Andrew uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on understanding feelings and changing unhelpful patterns. One common approach helps people make sense of how early attachments affect current relationships and reactions; it can be useful for abandonment, attachment issues, and relationship difficulties. Another approach focuses on managing anxiety and mood symptoms through practical strategies - this includes techniques to reduce panic attacks and to stabilise mood with step-by-step coping plans.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to identify goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. Clients are involved in deciding pace, focus, and practical steps between sessions.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls suit fuller conversations and visual cues, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat or messaging can be good for quick check-ins, written reflection, or when people prefer not to be on camera. These options offer flexibility to fit therapy around work, family commitments, and daily life.
