About Andrea
Andrea Antrobus uses a people-focused, integrative approach to help people feeling overwhelmed by parenting and life changes. She combines practical conversation with reflective listening to make sessions feel straightforward. Andrea has six years of experience and is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression and self-esteem, and with parenting concerns and relationship or intimacy-related issues. Andrea adapts her style to each person.
Background and approach
Sessions often mix short-term tools with deeper conversation about past experiences. She draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to help change unhelpful thinking patterns. She also uses client-centred methods to follow what matters most to the person in the room.
When trauma or abuse has been part of someone's story, Andrea offers trauma-focused approaches alongside psychodynamic thinking about long-term patterns. Solution-focused techniques are used when someone needs quick, practical steps to manage a problem. The result is a tailored plan that aims to fit a person's goals and day-to-day life.
People can expect a calm, non-judgemental space where practical strategies meet reflective work. Andrea takes a collaborative stance and invites clients to set the pace. She supports those managing eating and body-image concerns, addiction-related issues, caregiver stress and complex family-related topics like adoption, attachment and blended family matters.
Sessions are held in English and Andrea accepts international clients. Her background and flexible approach aim to help people find clearer thinking, steadier emotions and more helpful ways of coping with parenting and other life pressures.

How Andrea blends therapy approaches online
Andrea commonly uses client-centred work that focuses on what matters most to the person. This approach involves listening closely and shaping sessions around the client's priorities, which helps with building confidence and self-understanding.She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, which offers clear tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. CBT can be useful for anxiety, low mood and stress related to parenting or life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Andrea will talk through options and help decide what fits your needs and goals. This is a collaborative process and plans can be adjusted as therapy progresses.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for longer conversations and keeping non-verbal cues, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging suit short check-ins, quick reflections or when people prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy around busy parenting schedules and differing daily demands.
