About Andrea
Andrea Witt is a counsellor with eight years' experience. She trained with NCPS and draws on evidence-based approaches to help people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, sleeping problems, low mood and the pressure of parenting. Andrea writes plainly and aims to make therapy practical and understandable for people worried about everyday life.
She understands how distress after birth can affect daily life and relationships. Andrea listens without judgement and focuses on clear goals you can work towards together.
Background and approach
Sessions are about making small, doable changes and building skills that fit into a busy family routine. Her work often centres on thinking patterns and behaviours that keep problems cycling. She uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and other approaches, to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different actions.
Mindfulness skills and solution-focused techniques also appear in sessions when they suit the client’s goals. Clients can expect a warm, straightforward style. Andrea helps people name the difficulties, set simple goals and practise tools between sessions.
She pays attention to practical barriers and suggests steps that can be tried in day-to-day life. Andrea also supports people with grief, trauma and relationship issues, and with specific concerns such as obsessions, compulsions and fertility-related stress. She works with people who want a mix of talking, skill-building and short-term coaching to navigate a difficult patch.
Sessions take different formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Andrea will help each person choose the ways that fit their life and needs.
How Andrea's approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without being ruled by them and commit to actions that reflect their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and feeling stuck in unhelpful patterns. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thinking patterns and behaviours that keep problems going and practising alternative ways of thinking and acting; it often helps with anxiety, sleeping problems, obsessions and low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Andrea will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and daily life. That might mean trying an ACT exercise one week and a CBT behaviour experiment the next, then adjusting based on what helps most.
Online formats give practical flexibility. Video calls let the therapist and client work face-to-face when a fuller conversation is needed. Phone sessions are useful for shorter check-ins or when camera use is difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter, more frequent exchanges and can help people practise skills between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and other commitments, while keeping the focus on practical tools and progress.
