Andrea Headington, BACP

Andrea Headington helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief and life changes. She also supports those dealing with intimacy issues, trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem and depression. Andrea works with concerns such as divorce and separation, infidelity, panic attacks and social anxiety. She is named Andrea Headington and holds BACP accreditation, with ten years of professional experience in the UK.

Andrea’s style is warm and down to earth. She aims to create an open space where clients can speak honestly without feeling judged. Sessions focus on what matters most to each person and move at a comfortable pace.

Her practice draws on Client-Centred Therapy, which prioritises the client's own perspective and aims to build self-understanding. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people spot unhelpful thought patterns and try practical changes. Andrea explains approaches plainly and chooses methods that suit each person's needs.

People come to Andrea for practical tools as well as emotional support. She can help with coping strategies for panic, ways to repair trust after infidelity, and steps to rebuild self-worth. Conversations may include looking at daily habits, testing new responses and reflecting on values.

Sessions are offered in English and delivered online by video, phone, live chat or messaging. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and appointments are scheduled according to therapist availability.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own experience and aims to help them feel heard and understood. It encourages self-discovery and supports people who want to build confidence, work through relationship issues or make sense of major life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours connect. It teaches practical strategies to challenge unhelpful thinking and test new behaviours, which can be useful for anxiety, panic attacks and low mood.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Andrea will discuss goals and preferences with each client and suggest methods that fit their situation. Together they try approaches and adjust based on what feels most helpful.

Online therapy offers flexibility and practical access. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a fuller interaction is wanted. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter setup is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, ongoing reflection and people who prefer writing to talking. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, study and family commitments while keeping therapy consistent and manageable.
