About Andrew
Andrew Collings is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience and a BACP credential. He helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship problems, grief and loss, trauma and abuse, and depression. He aims to make the first steps into therapy less daunting by offering a calm, non-judgemental space.
In sessions he encourages people to talk about what matters most to them. He listens for patterns that keep causing pain, then works with each person to try different ways of responding.
Background and approach
Conversations focus on practical changes and clearer thinking, not on labels or medical jargon. Andrew pays attention to how early attachments and abandonment fears can shape current relationships. He also helps with issues such as body image, guilt and shame, and the strain of caregiving or long-term illness.
These topics are explored at the client’s pace to avoid overwhelming discussion. People who prefer straightforward, collaborative work tend to do well with his style. He uses everyday language and checks in about progress each session.
He aims to help people feel more grounded, less isolated, and better able to make choices that fit their life. Practical matters such as session format and scheduling are handled together. Andrew asks about what will work best and adjusts the approach as therapy progresses.

Online support
He also draws on methods that look at how early attachment and abandonment experiences shape current relationships. Conversations gently map out patterns in relationships and communication so people can try new responses and build more stable connections over time.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk through options, listen to your goals and try methods together to see what fits. Adjustments are made as therapy progresses so work stays relevant to your needs.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations that benefit from visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer writing or need flexible timing. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and to keep sessions consistent.
