About Andrew
Andrew Higginbottom works from a client-centred perspective that prioritises each person's own goals and values. He is NCPS credentialed and brings three years of professional experience to conversations about stress, anxiety, relationships and self‑esteem. Andrew encourages clear, honest talk and practical steps so people can start feeling steadier and more capable in day-to-day life.
He helps people who are struggling with mood difficulties such as depression and bipolar, and with worries about work, motivation and career direction. He also supports those facing grief, addictions, sexual and intimacy concerns, and challenges linked to ADHD and neurodiversity. Andrew listens for what matters most to each individual and works at a pace they can manage.
Andrew draws on a mix of approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment‑based ideas. Sessions focus on noticing patterns, testing small changes, and building useful skills rather than labels. He aims to make sessions straightforward and practical so people can try things between appointments.
Common practical topics he covers include sleeping and eating problems, anger, communication struggles and managing compassion fatigue from caring roles. He also brings experience with body image, control and codependency issues, plus relationship and blended family concerns. The work often links present difficulties back to attachment and past experiences.
Taking the first step can feel daunting. Andrew offers a calm, non‑judgemental space for people to talk through what matters and plan realistic next steps. He will work with each person to set achievable goals and track progress over time.
How Andrew’s approaches translate to online work
Andrew commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment‑based ideas alongside client‑centred listening. ACT focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking small, values‑based actions even when thoughts and feelings are difficult; it can help with anxiety, low mood and motivation. Attachment‑based work looks at how early relationships influence current patterns and helps people understand and change how they relate to others; this can be useful for relationship, intimacy and trust issues. Client‑centred practice means sessions centre on your priorities and pace, with the counsellor offering gentle reflection and practical suggestions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with each person and decide together which methods to try based on needs and goals. This collaborative process means plans can be adjusted if something doesn’t feel helpful.
Please confirm the available session formats before booking, as these options are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around daily life - for example, avoiding travel, fitting a short session into a lunch break, or choosing a call when camera use is not wanted. Many people find that regular remote sessions still allow them to practise skills between meetings and track progress over time.
