Andrew Singleton

Hi (and thanks for taking the time to view my profile and learn a little more about me). 

My name is Andy, I am a compassion-focussed integrative psychotherapist specialising in EMDR.

I have over 15 years’ experience working as a psychotherapist offering in-person (Chester City Centre) and online appointments for young people and adults. 

I am a Â鶹ԭ´´ accredited psychotherapist working young people and adults.

Prior to establishing Head Camp, I worked therapeutically within the NHS (CAMHS), a well-established Chester based Psychology service, Children’s Services, and a highly subscribed school-based therapy service within North Wales.

Built on a foundation of compassion-focused therapy, my primary therapeutic approach is EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing).

I am an integrative therapist; meaning I can draw from the multiple approaches I am trained and experienced with to meet client’s needs – matching my therapeutic approach to the individuals I support.

In addition to EMDR, I incorporate Mindfulness-Based CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy), ACT (Acceptance Commitment Therapy), Person-Centred, Attachment-Focussed and IFS (Internal Family Systems) approaches…I also have a great selection of fidget toys, kinetic sand, Lego and art supplies to utilise in sessions with children (and adults!)

I work with a wide range of presenting issues but have a special interest in working with attachment trauma and PTSD: Helping people heal from childhood trauma; whether as a young person healing in the here and now or an adult reflecting back on past experiences.

I primarily work as an individual therapist, but will also work with key figures in an individual’s life to move towards the goal of healing.

I offer weekday early morning (before work/school), daytime and evening appointments. 

My in-person work is offered from a private, welcoming and safe office space. My office is located on the ground floor providing access to all.

As well as in-person appointments, I am trained and registered with ACTO (Association for Counselling and Therapy Online) and can offer phone and video appointments on request.
