About Andrea
Andrea Headington is a counsellor who helps people manage stress, anxiety and depression. She supports individuals facing relationship strain, family problems and grief. Andrea also assists with intimacy issues, anger, self-esteem and life changes that feel overwhelming.
She uses a client-centred approach that keeps conversations focused on the person in front of her. That means she listens first, follows your lead and helps you make sense of what matters most. Andrea also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, using practical steps to test unhelpful thoughts and try new ways of coping.
Andrea has ten years of professional experience and holds BACP accreditation, which is recorded here as BACP. Her style is straightforward and calm. Sessions aim to be a space where people can talk honestly and begin to make small, sustainable changes.
Practical matters are discussed clearly, including goals and how progress will be checked. Andrea encourages people to set manageable steps between meetings, and to reflect on what works for them. She focuses on building skills that can be used outside the counselling room.
If you are worried about making a first move, Andrea acknowledges that beginning therapy takes courage. She offers a steady, listening presence and collaborates with each person to find the most useful path forward.
