About Andrea
Andrea Witt is a counsellor with eight years of clinical experience based in the United Kingdom. She holds the NCPS credential and focuses on practical ways to reduce overwhelm and restore day-to-day functioning. Andrea offers calm, straightforward support for people feeling stuck by stress, anxiety, sleep problems, parenting pressures, low self-esteem, depression, addictions and more.
Andrea draws on several evidence-informed approaches to tailor sessions to each person. She uses techniques that help people notice and change patterns of thinking and behaviour.
How Andrea works
She also includes mindfulness and acceptance-based ideas to ease strong emotions and improve coping. In a typical session Andrea talks through immediate problems and sets clear, achievable goals. She prefers short-term, focused work when that fits someone’s needs, and she can broaden the focus when issues need longer attention.
The work often blends practical exercises, reflection, and skill-building to meet daily challenges. Andrea understands the strain that life transitions and relationship difficulties can bring. She helps people tackle subjects such as grief, trauma and abuse, intimacy difficulties, career strain, compassion fatigue and control issues.
She also supports those dealing with fertility questions, hoarding, HIV/AIDS related concerns and obsessive-compulsive patterns. Sessions are offered in English and Andrea is open to working with people internationally. Her style is warm and non-judgemental, aiming to make therapy feel like a steady, useful conversation rather than a lecture.

Online support options
Using practical approaches in online therapy
Andrea commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed, then take actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviours to reduce anxiety and improve mood.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Andrea will talk with someone about their goals, preferences and day-to-day needs and then try methods that fit. The plan can change as progress is made so the work stays relevant and useful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper work, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a short break. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, homework, or when typing feels easier. These options make therapy more flexible around work, childcare and other commitments.
