About Andrew
Andrew Higginbottom uses a client-centred approach that puts the person and their goals first. He believes people know their own stories and brings a steady, practical presence to help them untangle difficult patterns. Andrew is credentialled NCPS and has three years of professional work experience in the UK.
He helps people facing stress and anxiety with short, clear steps to reduce overwhelm. He also supports those dealing with low self-esteem, motivation problems and depression by building small, manageable habits that add up over time. Relationship and family concerns are another common focus, including communication and commitment worries.
Andrew has worked with people affected by grief, trauma and abuse, and those coping with addictions or bipolar challenges. He also offers support around intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping difficulties, and codependency. Practical matters such as career choices and parenting strain feature in his work too.
His practice draws on a mix of approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based methods, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy. Sessions tend to be collaborative - he listens first, then helps identify actions that match each person's life and values.
Clients can expect straightforward conversation and clear options for change. Andrew aims to make progress feel achievable rather than overwhelming, and to help each person find ways to manage day-to-day challenges more effectively.
How Andrew’s approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck and then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and motivation problems. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns from early relationships and helps people build more secure ways of relating to others, which can help with relationship strain and codependency.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Andrew will listen to what matters to the individual, discuss options, and then test what feels most helpful. The choice of method is collaborative and can change as goals evolve.
