Andrew Collings, BACP

Andrew Collings is a United Kingdom-based therapist with three years of professional practice and credentialing through the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and depression, offering steady support as clients navigate challenging emotional experiences.

Andrew creates an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be expressed and explored. He focuses on helping clients understand what they are experiencing and develop practical ways to cope, drawing on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions toward meaningful change. His practice also addresses related concerns such as attachment and abandonment, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, communication problems, separation and divorce, guilt and shame, isolation, life purpose, men's issues, mood disorders, panic, and issues connected to narcissism.

Recognising that beginning therapy often takes courage, Andrew aims to make the first steps as straightforward and affirming as possible. He supports clients in setting collaborative goals and working at a pace that suits their needs, helping them build resilience and clearer direction over time.

Practical evidence-based approaches for online support

Andrew uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that help people notice and shift unhelpful patterns of thinking and behaviour, supporting improvements in mood, anxiety, and everyday functioning. These approaches focus on identifying thoughts and reactions that contribute to stress and developing alternative coping strategies that can be practised between sessions.

He also offers approaches that help clients explore emotional responses and past experiences, including difficulties with attachment, abandonment, and trauma. These methods aim to increase emotional understanding and reduce avoidance, helping clients process difficult feelings and build healthier relationship patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Andrew works collaboratively with each person to assess their needs, goals, and preferences and adapts techniques accordingly so the work feels relevant and manageable.

Online sessions - by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - offer flexibility for people managing busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or mobility limitations. Remote therapy makes it possible to access regular support from registered professionals without travelling, helping clients maintain continuity of care and work toward their goals from wherever they are located in the United Kingdom.
