Andrea Headington

Andrea Headington helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family problems and the upheaval of divorce and separation. She also supports those dealing with grief, intimacy issues, anger, low self-esteem and life changes. Andrea works in English and practices in the United Kingdom.

Andrea creates a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk through difficult feelings. She encourages honest conversation and focuses on what matters most to each person. Her manner is warm and straightforward to help make taking the first step easier.

She uses client-centred approaches that put the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. Andrea also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours to find practical ways forward. Together these approaches aim to make sense of what’s happening now and try out small changes.

With ten years of experience she has worked with a wide range of concerns including panic and social anxiety, issues around intimacy and sexuality, and midlife questions about purpose. She also offers support for guilt, shame and forgiveness after painful events such as infidelity.

Andrea explains therapy in everyday terms and focuses on realistic steps people can take between meetings. She invites people to set clear goals and reviews progress together so therapy stays relevant to real life.

How Andrea’s approaches work online and in practice

Andrea uses client-centred therapy to keep the person’s experience central. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting and helping clients find their own solutions; it is useful for relationship strain, grief and life changes. Client-centred work aims to make people feel heard and understood so they can explore difficult decisions.

She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact. CBT offers practical exercises and small behavioural experiments to reduce anxiety, manage panic and change unhelpful patterns. These tools can help with self-esteem, social anxiety and coping after separation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Andrea collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. She reviews progress and adapts the plan so sessions stay useful and focused.

The therapist's biography does not list specific online session formats. Please confirm which formats are offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around everyday life, reduce travel, and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a busy schedule. Registered or accredited professionals can use these options to keep therapy practical and accessible without promising particular outcomes.
