Andrew Henderson, NCPS

Andrew Henderson is a counsellor working in the United Kingdom. He has three years of professional experience and holds the NCPS credential. He supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and a broad range of other life challenges.

He focuses on creating an open, non-judgemental space where people can talk through difficult feelings. Conversations are client-led and aimed at helping someone feel heard while exploring practical next steps. Andrew encourages small, manageable changes that match each person’s life and goals.

In sessions he draws on client-centred work to prioritise the person’s own perspective. He also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to spot patterns in thinking and behaviour that keep problems going. Existential ideas are brought in to look at meaning and choices when people feel stuck.

Andrew has helped people with issues such as sleep problems, addiction, ADHD, anger, parenting strain, career worries and low self-esteem. He also offers support around more specific concerns including attachment issues, autism and Asperger Syndrome, and kink and alternative sex culture topics.

He aims to work at a pace that suits each person and to co-create goals that feel realistic. Taking the first step can feel hard, and Andrew positions himself as a steady, practical companion through that process.

How his approaches inform online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person in front of the counsellor and on listening closely to their experience. It helps when someone needs a calm space to talk and be understood, and it shapes sessions around each person’s priorities. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviours keep problems going and teaches practical techniques to change those patterns; it is often used for anxiety, low mood and sleep difficulties. Existential Therapy attention is given to choices, meaning and responsibility when people face life transitions or feel stuck.

Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss options and decide together with the client which methods feel most helpful. That collaborative process means goals and techniques can be adjusted as progress is made.

For practical matters, confirm the available session options before booking as formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around busy days, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to keep continuity during life changes or travel. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists who use these approaches, often tailor sessions so they fit into everyday routines and responsibilities.
