About Andrew
Andrew Henderson is a counsellor registered as NCPS with three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. He helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, family conflict, trauma and abuse, and grief and loss. He also supports people facing parenting strain, sleeping difficulties, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related problems, and career or life-change challenges.
He keeps early sessions straightforward. He listens to what is causing strain at home and asks about practical patterns that feed those problems. Together he and the client set small, manageable goals to reduce immediate pressure and improve day-to-day functioning.
Andrew uses client-centred listening alongside Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. He also draws on existential ideas to help people weigh values and make clearer life choices. Sessions are meant to be honest and direct rather than full of jargon.
He has worked with issues connected to attachment, abandonment, autism and Asperger syndrome, blended family issues, codependency and communication problems. He also offers support around chronic illness, caregiving strain, and coping after disasters.
Sessions are conducted in English and he accepts international clients. The intake process involves a short questionnaire and a first appointment so people can see if the way he works fits their needs.
How sessions work
How his therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on careful listening and reflecting what the client says. It helps when someone needs to be heard about home life, parenting stresses or relationship strain and wants a therapist who follows their concerns.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going. It uses straightforward exercises and small behaviour changes to ease anxiety, improve sleep or reduce unhelpful reactions at home.
Existential Therapy encourages people to consider values, choices and responsibility in their lives. This approach can help when someone is weighing big decisions or coping with loss and change.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Andrew will discuss what seems to fit and try methods that match the person’s goals and preferences. That choice is made together and can change as progress is made.
The original profile does not specify which session formats are used, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals offering remote work often find that structured CBT tasks, reflective client-centred conversations and values-based existential work all adapt well to remote appointments.
