Andrea Headington , BACP

Andrea Headington is a UK-based therapist with 10 years of professional experience and a BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which is a leading UK professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists. She combines steady clinical experience with a compassionate, nonjudgmental approach to help people navigate difficult emotional challenges.

Andrea works with individuals facing stress and anxiety, relationship difficulties, family conflict, grief and loss, and other concerns such as intimacy issues, trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem, depression, and coping with life transitions. Her practice also addresses areas like divorce and separation, forgiveness, guilt and shame, infidelity, life purpose and midlife change, panic disorder, self-love, sex addiction, social anxiety, and young adult challenges.

She aims to create an open, accepting space where thoughts and feelings can be explored without fear of judgment. Andrea supports and empowers people to take the often difficult first steps toward change, helping them build coping skills, clarify values and goals, and work toward a more fulfilling life.

Client-Centered and CBT Approaches for Online Therapy

Andrea uses client-centered therapy to build a respectful, empathetic space where the individual sets the pace and focus of sessions - this approach helps people who need support exploring feelings, improving self-understanding, and rebuilding confidence. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, involves identifying and adjusting unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors; it is practical and goal-oriented, and can be especially helpful for anxiety, low mood, panic, and problem-solving in relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Andrea works collaboratively with each person to identify what fits their needs, goals, and preferences. She combines listening and practical tools to tailor a plan that feels manageable and relevant to the client’s situation.

Online therapy with Andrea is offered in flexible formats - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - allowing therapy to fit around work, family, and daily life. These options make it easier to maintain regular sessions, access support from home, and continue progress even when schedules or circumstances change.
