Andrew Henderson, NCPS

Andrew Henderson is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom. He has three years of professional experience and is credentialed with the NCPS. He helps people who are managing stress, anxiety, grief, trauma and family tensions. Andrew aims to make the first step feel less daunting by offering steady support as people work towards a more satisfying life.

Andrew keeps sessions direct and conversational. He encourages people to speak honestly about what they are feeling and thinking. The room is held as a place to sort through emotions, test new ideas, and make practical plans for change.

He draws on client-centred methods to focus on each person’s concerns and priorities. Cognitive behavioural ideas are used when people want to spot patterns in thoughts and try small experiments to change how they feel. Existential themes come into play for those facing big life questions or changes.

Andrew works with a broad range of concerns including relationship and intimacy issues, parenting strain, sleep problems, anger, self-esteem, career decisions, addictions and ADHD. He also pays attention to attachment, abandonment and communication difficulties when these are relevant.

Sessions are explained in plain terms and shaped around individual goals. Andrew describes the process as collaborative - he listens, reflects, and offers strategies that people can test between meetings. If someone decides to start, he supports them through the early steps and onward as needed.

How these approaches shape online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience. The counsellor offers empathy and reflection so people can find their own answers and feel heard. This suits people who want a gentle, exploratory space to talk about midlife concerns or personal struggles.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact. It uses straightforward exercises to test out new ways of thinking and coping. This approach can help with anxiety, sleep problems, low mood and habit changes by breaking issues into manageable steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be worked out together. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped in the past, then adapt methods to fit the person's needs. This collaborative planning can change over time as progress is reviewed.

If you are considering online work, check the therapist's session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings around work or family life, reduce travel, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Practical arrangements are agreed at the start so sessions fit into everyday routines.
