Andrew Henderson , NCPS

Andrew Henderson is a counsellor who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief and relationship struggles. He also supports people facing trauma and abuse, parenting strain and struggles with self esteem. He works with individuals who are wrestling with career pressures, addiction concerns, ADHD, sleeping problems and intimacy-related issues.

He keeps sessions straightforward and conversational. Andrew aims to create an open, non-judgemental space where people can say what they are thinking and feeling. He encourages clear goals and practical steps alongside time to talk things through.

His background includes three years of professional practice and a credential of NCPS. He draws on established approaches in the room and adapts them to what each person needs. Sessions are collaborative and paced to suit the individual.

Andrew often uses techniques from cognitive behavioural approaches to spot patterns that keep problems going. He also brings client-centred listening to help people feel heard and understood. Existential ideas are used when clients want to examine meaning, values and life direction.

People come to him with many kinds of concerns - from grief and trauma to everyday stress and work pressure. He helps clients identify manageable steps, improve communication and develop coping strategies for difficult moments. The focus is on practical progress and clearer understanding of what matters next.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The counsellor offers a non-judgemental space where your views guide the work, which can help with confidence, self esteem and relationship concerns. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going and uses practical exercises to build different ways of responding; this can be useful for anxiety, stress and sleep difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss what feels most helpful and adapt methods to your goals and preferences. That collaborative process shapes which techniques are used and how sessions are organised.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, giving options to fit busy schedules and different needs. Video calls are close to an in-person session and suit deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and messaging allow ongoing, flexible contact when writing feels easier or when someone needs more frequent brief support. These options aim to make therapy more accessible and practical for everyday life.
