About Andrew

Andrew Henderson is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief and trauma. He also supports those dealing with sleep problems, anger, self-esteem and issues linked to addiction and codependency. He is based in the United Kingdom and holds NCPS as a listed credential. Andrew has three years of professional experience and works in English.

He aims to create an open atmosphere where thoughts and feelings can be shared without judgement. Sessions focus on plain talking, practical tools and checking what feels useful for each person. He uses straightforward techniques to help clients manage day-to-day challenges and cope with major life changes.

His approach draws on client-centred work that puts the person’s perspective first. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thinking and to try small, testable changes. Existential ideas are also woven into sessions to help people face questions about meaning, choice and responsibility.

Andrew often supports people dealing with family stress, parenting strain and intimacy-related concerns. He also works with clients navigating neurodiversity, chronic illness, bereavement and trauma-related reactions. Sessions aim to be calm, focused and practical.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability. Fees vary with location and the service uses a subscription system that can be cancelled at any time.

How these approaches can work online

Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what is said and follows the client’s lead to build trust and clarity. This approach helps when someone needs a calm space to sort through feelings and make choices. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. It offers practical exercises and small experiments to reduce anxiety, improve sleep and change patterns that cause distress. CBT is useful when someone wants concrete steps to try between meetings. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together they will try methods and adjust the plan as progress becomes clear. Please confirm current session options before booking as formats are not detailed here. Online counselling can make sessions easier to fit into a busy life, remove travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer talking rather than in-person meetings. Registered or accredited professionals aim to adapt their methods so therapy can work well across different settings.
