About Andrea

Andrea Witt is an NCPS counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with eight years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, sleep problems, parenting challenges, low self-esteem, depression and addictions, and she lists life purpose among her areas of focus. Sessions also address relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, eating problems, anger and career questions.

Andrea draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, including rational emotive behavioural therapy (REBT), alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, mindfulness and solution-focused techniques. Her practice emphasises short-term, goal-oriented work that looks at what is happening now. She describes the work as practical and focused on concrete steps that people can use between sessions.

People who come to Andrea often want help with managing strong emotions, breaking unhelpful thinking patterns, or recovering after a significant life change. She also supports people dealing with parenting-related mental health, intrusive thoughts, birth-related trauma, and compulsive behaviours. She offers tools for coping day-to-day and for making steady progress toward clearer priorities.

Sessions combine structured CBT-oriented tasks with moments of client-centred listening. That means there will be clear goals, homework or exercises when useful, and space to talk through difficult feelings. Andrea aims to help clients sort priorities, practice new responses and notice small changes over time.

Her background includes focused work on postnatal mental health and birth trauma, and she works with people at different stages after becoming a parent. English is the language used in sessions, and she accepts international clients.

How Andrea uses therapeutic approaches online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on what matters most. It uses values and committed actions to guide practical steps, which can suit worries about life purpose or coping after big changes.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), including rational emotive behavioural elements, looks at thinking patterns and behaviour. It breaks problems into manageable tasks and uses exercises to change reactions to intrusive thoughts, anxiety and sleep disruption.

Mindfulness therapy supports noticing thoughts and sensations without getting swept up by them. It can be useful alongside CBT and ACT for managing stress, panic or rumination.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Andrea will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together they will try methods and adjust the plan based on what helps in day-to-day life.

Confirm the session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare or travel. They also allow shorter check-ins, audio-only meetings when bandwidth is limited, and flexible scheduling to suit busy days.
