About Andrew

Andrew Henderson is a counsellor who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and grief. He works with those facing family conflict, relationship and intimacy issues, and people coping with life changes or loss. He holds an NCPS credential and has three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom.

In sessions he aims to create an open, non-judgemental space where clients can talk through difficult thoughts and feelings. He focuses on listening closely and reflecting what matters to the person. His style is straightforward and gentle, with an emphasis on practical steps as well as emotional understanding.

Andrew draws on client-centred approaches to help people feel heard and to build on their own strengths. He also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to look at thinking patterns and practical ways to reduce distress. Existential ideas are brought in when people are weighing big life questions or meaning around loss and change.

He supports people with a wide range of concerns including ADHD, addictions, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem and career stress. Additional focus areas include attachment-related issues, chronic illness and caregiver stress, codependency, and coping with natural or human-caused disaster.

People who choose to work with him can expect a calm, down-to-earth manner and a focus on collaborative problem solving. He encourages clear goals and regular review so progress can be noticed and adjusted as needed.

How his approaches work in online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and helping people find their own solutions. It is helpful when someone needs a supportive space to talk, to be heard, and to build confidence in their decisions.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises and step-by-step strategies to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and manage mood or unhelpful behaviours.

Existential Therapy helps when people face big questions about meaning, loss or change. It invites reflection on values and choices, and can help people find direction after grief or major life transitions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences and daily life to decide which methods to try. This is a collaborative process and the plan can change as progress is seen.

The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy day and keeping regular contact without long travel. Because the biography does not state which session formats are offered, confirm the current options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can make remote therapy work around work, caregiving, or mobility needs, and sessions can be arranged to suit your routine.
