About Andrea

Andrea Witt is a counsellor with eight years' experience supporting people through a wide range of mental health challenges. She holds NCPS, which indicates her professional standing, and she draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy as a core approach. Andrea’s background includes particular attention to postnatal mental health, and she understands how isolating and frightening that time can feel.

Andrea keeps sessions practical and focused on the here and now. She uses goal-centred work to help people manage anxiety, low mood, obsessive thinking and stress. Her style is warm and straightforward, offering a space to talk without judgement so people can name their difficulties and start making changes.

Her approach blends Cognitive Behavioural Therapy with elements from other methods she has trained in. That means sessions can include noticing unhelpful thinking patterns, experimenting with small behavioural changes, and practising simple mindfulness skills. She also draws on techniques that aim to rebuild confidence after birth and to ease intrusive thoughts tied to parenthood.

People come to Andrea for help with relationships, jealousy, sleeping problems, grief, addiction, and coping with major life changes. She also supports issues such as fertility concerns, guilt and shame, hoarding, and compulsive behaviours. Sessions aim to break problems into manageable steps and track progress over time.

Andrea works with clients in the United Kingdom and accepts international clients in English. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability.

How Andrea’s approaches work in online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts without getting hooked by them and to focus on actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and feelings of emptiness. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical exercises to change patterns that maintain distress; it is often used for anxiety, low mood and obsessive thinking. Client-Centred Therapy prioritises a warm, non-judgemental relationship and gives people space to find their own solutions at their own pace.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then try methods together. That collaborative process means approaches can be tailored and adjusted as progress is made.

If you are considering online therapy, check the current session options before booking because specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by removing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during a break. It also offers flexibility when someone needs quieter surroundings, fewer visual demands, or a way to keep regular appointments while managing day-to-day responsibilities.
