About Andrea

Andrea Headington helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, and issues around grief and loss. She offers a calm presence for conversations about intimacy, anger, self-esteem, depression, and life changes. Andrea aims to make therapy straightforward and approachable for worried parents and individuals alike.

She creates a non-judgemental space where clients can talk about what matters to them. Sessions focus on listening first, then finding practical steps that feel manageable.

Background and approach

Andrea combines a warm, client-centred way of working with structured techniques when helpful. Her practice draws on Client-Centred Therapy, which puts the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. This approach helps people feel heard and to gain clarity about their choices.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at thoughts and behaviours and how small changes can reduce anxiety and low mood. Andrea has around 10 years of professional experience and is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

She works with adults on issues such as divorce and separation, family problems, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and finding life purpose. Her focus includes panic attacks, social anxiety, self-love and young adult issues. Sessions are offered in English and delivered online in a variety of formats to suit different needs.

Andrea aims to help clients take steady steps towards clearer thinking and improved day-to-day coping.

How Andrea's approaches work online

Andrea uses Client-Centred Therapy to begin. That means the session focuses on your experience and what you want to talk about. It helps people feel heard and to make sense of their feelings before deciding on next steps.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. CBT offers simple, hands-on tactics to manage anxiety, panic attacks, low mood and unhelpful thinking patterns.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Andrea will listen to your goals and try different ways of working until you find what helps. She involves clients in decisions about techniques and pace so the work fits personal needs and preferences.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to make therapy flexible. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can suit people with lower bandwidth, chat works for shorter check-ins, and messaging lets you write through thoughts between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare or other commitments and help people keep continuity when life is busy.
