About Andrew

Andrew Henderson is a counsellor working in the United Kingdom who helps people facing stress, anxiety, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and grief. He encourages honest talk and makes space for difficult feelings. He presents as calm and straightforward in his work and aims to support small, practical steps forward.

His approach is simple and person-focused. Sessions are shaped around what the individual wants to address. He listens first, then suggests ways to think about problems differently and try new behaviours when helpful.

Andrew uses elements of Client-Centred Therapy to prioritise the client’s perspective and build trust. He also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact, and on Existential Therapy to help people find meaning during hard times.

In practice he works through issues like sleep problems, anger, low self-esteem and relationship or intimacy-related concerns. He also supports people dealing with chronic illness, caregiving strain, addiction issues, ADHD and life changes such as career shifts or bereavement.

Andrew holds the NCPS credential and has three years of professional experience. Sessions are conducted in English and arrangements for international clients can be discussed. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is used so people can arrange sessions that fit their needs.

How Andrew’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s experience and aims to create a trusting space where people can say what matters most to them. It helps with emotional wounds, relationship worries and times of uncertainty by keeping the client’s perspective central.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions influence one another and uses practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns. It is often useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and managing stress.

Finding the right way to work together is part of the process. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences and help decide whether to use more client-centred listening, CBT-style tasks, existential reflection or a mix. This is a collaborative choice made with the client’s needs in mind.

Practical benefits of online work include easier scheduling and fitting sessions around daily life, and the chance to continue therapy if travel is difficult. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. The aim is to make sessions feel manageable and useful, whether that means shorter check-ins, regular weekly meetings or different pacing to suit an individual’s routine.
