About Andrew
Andrew Henderson helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, parenting pressures or the effects of trauma and abuse. He also supports those dealing with ADHD, addictions, sleep problems, low self-esteem and major life changes. Andrew is based in the United Kingdom and holds the NCPS credential.
He has three years of professional experience supporting people through difficult moments. Andrew keeps sessions straightforward and conversational. He aims to create an open, non-judgemental space where people can talk about what matters to them.
Background and approach
Conversations focus on what feels most urgent and practical next steps that a person can try between sessions. In sessions Andrew draws on client-centred approaches to listen closely to each person’s needs. He uses cognitive behavioural tools to help spot unhelpful thinking and try small, testable changes.
He also uses existential ideas to look at meaning, values and how people want to live their lives. People come to Andrew for many reasons, including family stress, parenting strain, coping after loss, sexual and intimacy questions, chronic health challenges and workplace issues. He works with concerns such as abandonment, attachment struggles, codependency and communication problems.
Sessions aim to make problems easier to manage and to build clearer ways forward. Therapy is practical and collaborative. Andrew supports clients to set realistic goals and review progress together.
The tone is warm, direct and focused on everyday change rather than clinical jargon.

How Andrew’s approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy means listening carefully to each person and following what matters most to them; online sessions use that same style so the person sets the pace and topics. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, involves noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing small changes in behaviour to see what shifts; it suits issues like anxiety, sleep trouble and low mood. Existential Therapy looks at values, meaning and life choices, helping people facing big transitions or questions about how they want to live.Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Andrew works collaboratively with each person to choose and adapt methods that fit their goals, needs and everyday life. He reviews what is working and adjusts the plan as conversations progress.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video is helpful for in-depth conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be used when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and messaging allow brief check-ins and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and travel commitments, and to keep continuity when circumstances change.
