About Andrew
Andrew Henderson is a counsellor working in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. He supports people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, and grief. He aims to offer a calm, non-judgemental space where people can talk about what matters to them.
He uses simple, conversational language in sessions. He listens first, then helps people name patterns in their thinking and behaviour. He focuses on practical steps that can be tried between sessions as well as on kinder ways of relating to difficult feelings.
Andrew draws on Client-Centred Therapy to keep conversations grounded in the client’s perspective. He also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. Where useful, he brings in ideas from Existential Therapy to help people explore meaning, purpose and choices.
Sessions are aimed at helping people cope with life changes, work through intimacy and relationship worries, manage anger or low self-esteem, and address issues like ADHD, addictions and sleep difficulties. He also supports people dealing with chronic illness, caregiver stress, and blended family challenges.
Andrew describes taking the first step as an act of courage. He works alongside each person to set achievable goals, review progress, and adjust the approach as needed. People who want to begin are encouraged to follow the site’s booking flow to match with him and arrange a session.

How these approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor focuses on listening, reflecting what the person says, and encouraging self-directed insight. This approach helps when someone needs acceptance and a steady space to talk through difficult feelings.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at the relationship between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to test unhelpful beliefs and build new habits. This can be useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep issues and unhelpful behavioural patterns.
Finding the right approach is often part of the early work together. The counsellor will discuss preferences, goals and practical needs, then suggest ways of working that fit the person. Decisions about method and pace are made collaboratively and can be reviewed at any time.
The practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions around work or family commitments and fewer travel requirements. If you prefer to avoid video, there may be other ways to meet that use less bandwidth or allow a shorter check-in; please confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking. Online sessions can make it simpler to attend regularly and to apply techniques between meetings, helping therapy to fit into everyday life.
