About Andrew
Andrew Higginbottom is a counsellor who works from a Jungian perspective alongside other practical approaches. He focuses on stress, anxiety, self-esteem and relationship concerns and aims to help people find clearer ways forward. He describes clients as experts in their own lives and offers steady support while they make changes.
He draws on Jungian ideas about meaning and inner patterns to help people understand recurring difficulties. He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques to offer practical tools for managing overpowering thoughts and feelings.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and calm, with attention to what matters most to the person in front of him. Andrew has three years of professional experience working with issues such as grief, trauma and addictions. He also works with intimacy-related concerns, parenting strain and career setbacks.
He supports people dealing with long-term health, body image and codependency issues, among other challenges. He holds NCPS, which is recorded as his credential. He practises in the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English.
Andrew uses a collaborative style that encourages small steps, experiments and clearer decision-making rather than one-size-fits-all answers. People who want to begin will be guided through simple practical ways to try out therapy and to build coping skills. He aims to create a predictable routine for sessions so progress can be reviewed, and goals adjusted as needed.

Online support
Approaches that suit online sessions
Jungian therapy explores recurring life patterns, symbols and personal meaning to help people understand why they repeat certain behaviours and feel stuck. It can be useful when someone wants to make sense of deep emotional themes or life transitions.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without being overwhelmed by them, and on choosing actions that match a person's values. This approach can help with anxiety, stress and finding motivation to make changes.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns in close relationships and communication. It can help people working through abandonment, attachment worries and difficulties connecting with others.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals, preferences and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they will try methods that fit the individual's pace and adjust as progress is reviewed.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to give flexibility. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat options suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments.
