About Andrew

Andrew Henderson is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and grief. He holds NCPS and has three years of professional experience. He aims to make it easier for people to reach out and begin change. He focuses on building an open, non‑judgemental space where clients can talk about painful thoughts and feelings. Sessions are conversational and guided by what the person says matters most. The pace and topics are set together so people feel heard and understood. Andrew uses practical methods alongside reflective conversation. He draws on client‑centred listening to follow what clients bring, and uses cognitive behavioural ideas to spot unhelpful thinking patterns. Existential work helps people weigh values and meaning when life feels uncertain. His background includes work with a range of common and complex concerns, including ADHD, addictions, relationship and intimacy issues, sleep problems, anger, low self‑esteem and career stress. He also offers support around attachment, autism and Asperger syndrome, chronic illness, caregiver stress and coping after disasters. People who choose Andrew typically want a straightforward, compassionate approach. He invites clients to take small, practical steps between sessions and to reflect on what matters most.

Step 3

How Andrew's approaches work for online therapy

Client‑centred therapy focuses on listening and following what matters to the person. The counsellor reflects back thoughts and feelings so clients feel understood and can explore issues at their own pace. This helps with anxiety, relationship worries and parenting concerns where feeling heard matters.

Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses simple exercises to test unhelpful thinking and build new habits. This approach can be useful for stress, sleep problems, low mood and anxiety.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then choose ways of working together. Decisions are made collaboratively so the plan fits the client’s needs and life circumstances.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions around busy days and reducing travel time. Online sessions can make it easier to have shorter check‑ins or to meet from different locations when needed. The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking to make sure they suit your schedule.
