Andrew Henderson, NCPS

Andrew Henderson is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and grief. He supports those struggling with family conflict, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, sleep problems, anger and low self-esteem. He also works with people dealing with career pressures, life changes and parenting strain. Andrew holds the NCPS credential and has three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom.

Andrew aims to make the first session straightforward and calm. He encourages people to talk at their own pace and uses plain language rather than clinical terms. He focuses on listening and understanding what matters most to each person before suggesting ways forward.

His practice draws on client-centred work that puts the person’s experience at the heart of the sessions. He also uses cognitive behavioural ideas to identify unhelpful thinking and try small changes. Existential approaches help when people are weighing big life questions or meaning after loss.

Sessions look at what’s happening now and what practical steps could reduce distress. That might mean short exercises between meetings, reframing tough thoughts, or talking through relationship patterns. Andrew stresses collaboration and sets goals together with each client.

He has supported people with additional concerns such as ADHD, attachment and abandonment issues, autism and Asperger syndrome, blended family challenges, chronic illness and caregiving stress. He accepts enquiries from the UK and international clients and works in English.

How these approaches work in online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and helping people express their thoughts and feelings. It is useful when someone needs acceptance and space to work through personal concerns such as relationship problems or grief.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It often uses simple, practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour for issues like anxiety, sleep problems and anger.

Existential Therapy helps people who are facing big life questions or searching for meaning after loss and major change. It involves talking through values, choices and what matters most to the individual.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and happens together with the therapist. He will discuss goals, preferences and daily needs to choose or combine methods that fit. This is a collaborative decision and may change as work progresses.

Please confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow quieter, focused conversations. Some formats also suit shorter check-ins or times when using video is difficult, but check which options are offered when you book.
