About Andrea
Andrea Headington is a BACP-registered counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 10 years of experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship and family problems, grief and loss, and coping with life changes. Andrea also supports clients facing issues around intimacy, anger, self-esteem and depression.
She uses Client-Centred Therapy to build a respectful, listening relationship. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to help people notice and change patterns of thinking and behaviour that feed distress. Sessions are conversational and focused on practical next steps as well as understanding feelings.
Andrea tends to work in a collaborative way. She encourages people to describe what matters to them and what they hope will be different. Together they look at what’s realistic and achievable, then try out new ways of responding to difficult situations. This can include short exercises to practise between meetings.
Her background includes a decade of work in the UK supporting adults through separation, midlife shifts, panic attacks, shame and issues around intimacy and sex addiction. She also helps young adults and people navigating forgiveness, guilt and rebuilding after infidelity.
Sessions are conducted in English. For those considering starting, Andrea’s process begins with a short matching questionnaire and a first scheduled session to set goals and agree a way forward.
How Andrea applies her approaches to online counselling
Andrea uses Client-Centred Therapy to listen and reflect what a person is feeling, helping them to name and describe difficult emotions. This approach is about being heard and understood and works well for issues like grief, low self-esteem and relationship distress.She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test different behaviours. CBT is practical and often used for anxiety, panic attacks, social phobia and managing mood shifts.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Andrea explores a person’s needs, goals and preferences and then suggests steps to try. She views therapy as collaborative and adjusts methods as progress and feedback indicate what helps most.
