About Andrea
Andrea Stott is a counsellor with 12 years' experience supporting people through trauma, addiction and the long-term effects of difficult childhoods. She also helps people who are facing relationship difficulties and complex grief and loss. Andrea works from the United Kingdom and is a member of the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
Andrea draws on a mix of practical and reflective approaches in sessions. She uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help spot unhelpful thinking patterns and find clearer ways of coping.
How Andrea works
She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people live more in line with their values when emotions feel overwhelming. Sessions tend to be straightforward and focused. Andrea supports people to set small, manageable goals and to practise new skills between meetings.
She pays attention to how past experiences shape present responses and helps clients build safer ways to relate to themselves and others. Her work includes support for stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar difficulties, ADHD and compassion fatigue. Andrea also offers help with parenting strains, sleep and eating difficulties, addictions, body image and long-term health challenges such as chronic pain and cancer related stress.
People meet Andrea by starting with a short matching questionnaire and then scheduling sessions. Conversations can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging, depending on what suits the person best.

Online support options
How Andrea uses therapy approaches online
Andrea commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in online work. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and helps people try different ways of thinking and acting to reduce distress; it is often used for anxiety, depression and unhelpful habits. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult feelings without getting pulled into them, and to take steps that match their values even when emotions are strong.Choosing an approach is collaborative. Andrea will discuss the options with each person and together they will decide which methods to try first. She adapts work over time, combining practical exercises, reflective conversation and goal setting to suit what the client needs and prefers.
Online therapy offers flexibility and practical benefits. Video calls allow face to face conversation when that matters, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can suit shorter check ins and text based messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and busy lives while keeping the focus on accessible, goal oriented work.
