About Andrea
Andrea Mannion aims to help people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or low self-esteem. She speaks plainly and listens carefully to understand what matters most to each person. Sessions are shaped around the individual’s needs and goals.
Andrea encourages small, practical steps that people can use between appointments. Andrea has practised as a counsellor since 2018 and holds the NCPS credential. Over four years she has worked with people facing life changes, career strain, parenting pressures and sleep problems.
How Andrea works
She also focuses on compassion fatigue, caregiver stress and issues such as guilt, shame and isolation. Her approach combines several ways of working rather than following one strict method. Andrea draws on client-centred work to keep sessions grounded in the person’s experience.
She uses mindfulness techniques to help with rumination and stress, and solution-focused tools to identify next steps. Andrea also integrates psychodynamic ideas to look at repeating patterns and hypnotherapy where appropriate to support relaxation and behaviour change. She adapts her style to each person, using practical exercises, short reflections and guided breathing or imagery when useful.
People who prefer clear, down-to-earth guidance may find her approach helpful. Sessions are offered in English and conducted online in a variety of formats. The emphasis is on steady progress, not quick fixes, and on building skills that fit everyday life.

How Andrea’s approaches work online
Andrea uses client-centred methods to place the person’s experience at the heart of each session. This means most conversations begin with listening and reflecting on what matters now, useful for stress, grief and self-esteem concerns.Mindfulness Therapy is used to calm the body and reduce rumination. Simple breathing and attention exercises are taught and practised during sessions, which can help with anxiety and sleep difficulties. Hypnotherapy is offered as an option to support relaxation, shift unhelpful habits and reinforce new ways of coping when someone prefers guided imagery or focussed suggestion.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk through goals, try techniques together and adjust plans as progress is made. This collaborative process helps match methods to the person’s needs and preferences rather than prescribing a single route.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual feedback. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier during a short break. Live chat or messaging can suit quick check-ins, brief reflections or people who prefer writing. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into everyday routines.
