About Andrew

Andrew Henderson is an NCPS credentialed counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. He works with adults facing stress and anxiety, family conflict, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and related concerns such as codependency, addictions and relationship or intimacy struggles.

He focuses on straightforward conversation in session. He listens to what is happening now and asks practical questions about how patterns affect day-to-day life. Sessions tend to name behaviours, notice what keeps problems repeating, and look for small changes that make routines easier to manage.

Andrew draws on client-centred ideas that put the person's experience first. He also uses elements of cognitive behavioural therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and to try different behaviours. Existential approaches are used to tackle big questions about meaning, values and commitment when clients want that focus.

People meet him to work on sleep trouble, anger, low self-esteem, career crossroads, parenting strain or coping after illness or bereavement. He also supports those dealing with ADHD, attachment concerns, and issues connected to kink and alternative sex culture when these come up in conversation.

In sessions he aims for clear, practical steps alongside room to talk about feelings. He encourages setting concrete goals and checking progress between meetings. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.

How sessions work

Approach to therapy and how online sessions work

Andrew uses client-centred counselling to prioritise a person's experience and perspectives. This approach means the therapist listens closely and reflects what the client says, helping them clarify feelings and priorities. Cognitive behavioural therapy is used to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try practical behaviour changes that reduce distress.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Andrew will discuss goals and preferences and try different ways of working until a good fit is found. He treats the selection of technique as something to review together rather than a fixed decision from the start.

The practical benefits of online work are about fitting therapy into everyday life. Online sessions can make it easier to schedule meetings around work or caregiving, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm current session options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals often adapt session length and rhythm to what suits a person's routine, and this therapist aims to make that flexible planning part of the early sessions.
