Andrew Heining
Psychodynamic counsellorAbout Me
During this unique time, many things have changed. One thing that hasn't is how useful having somewhere to vent, work things out, and talk about whatever is on your mind can be.
If you feel lost, depressed, angry, or sad, I am an experienced counselling professional geared towards helping you through whatever you face or feel without judgment and getting you on the path to a better place.
If you are worried about cost, I have low fee options available. I aim to provide an affordable service for the benefit of the general public. We all deserve to be heard.
My practice.
Although my background is in psychodynamic practice, I am not wedded to one particular theory, instead believing that different methods and interventions work for different people.
Given all of us have our particular emotional issues and histories, appreciating, understanding and owning our life story is central to being able to take hold of right now, and the future which unfolds - helping you to that point is what I can do.

Fees
Due to the current COVID-19 situation, sessions may take place either via telephone or video call (with a view to in-person meets being available as soon as is possible should that be desired).
- Full-Cost sessions from £40
- Low-Cost sessions from £15
Sessions are 50 minutes long for one to one therapy and usually take place weekly. My work is primarily open-ended, which means that sessions are typically booked week by week (unless agreed otherwise) to meet your needs.
