About Andrea
Andrea Headington helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief and many life changes. She offers gentle support for issues such as low self-esteem, anger, intimacy concerns and trauma. Her work also covers divorce and separation, family problems, panic attacks and questions about life purpose.
Andrea keeps sessions straightforward and conversational. She aims to create a calm space where people can say what they need to say without judgment. Sessions focus on understanding what matters to the individual and finding practical steps forward.
Background and approach
Her approach draws on Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). That means she listens closely, reflects back what she hears, and helps people spot thinking patterns that make problems worse. Together they try out small changes to reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day coping.
Andrea has ten years of professional experience working with these concerns in the United Kingdom. She is registered with the BACP, which is the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. People meet her when they want clear, calm guidance during a difficult patch.
She works at a pace set by the client and balances practical tools with space to talk through emotions. The focus is on what will help this person, right now. If someone prefers to explore values, forgiveness, or rebuilding after betrayal, Andrea brings focused attention to those topics while also addressing immediate symptoms like panic, low mood or social anxiety.

Online support
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact. It helps with anxiety, panic attacks, low mood and unhelpful behaviour by testing thoughts and practising small behavioural changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Andrea will discuss goals and preferences and agree a plan together. That collaborative approach means methods can change as needs shift, blending listening with practical techniques where helpful.
Online therapy offers several practical advantages. Video calls let people see tone and body language while keeping the session at home. Phone sessions can be quicker to join and use less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, ongoing reflection and flexible scheduling. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and other commitments while still working with registered or accredited professionals.
