About Andrea
Andrea Witt is a counsellor with eight years' experience supporting people through stressful life changes and parenting challenges. She uses clear, goal-focused methods to help clients manage anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and the day-to-day strain that can come with caring for children.
Andrea presents as warm and approachable and aims to create a space where people can speak honestly and be heard. Andrea's background includes work addressing postnatal mental health, intrusive thoughts and obsessive worries.
Background and approach
She draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness approaches to tackle patterns that keep problems going. Sessions focus on practical steps and simple skills that can be used between meetings. Her style combines structured problem-solving with compassionate listening.
That means setting small, achievable goals, testing new ways of coping, and noticing what helps in ordinary life. Andrea also uses client-centred ideas to make sure each plan fits the person in front of her. Clients who want direct, hands-on strategies often find this approach useful for issues such as stress, grief, addictive behaviours, relationship concerns and parenting strain.
Andrea pays attention to guilt, shame and control issues that commonly come up in those situations. She offers sessions in English and works with people in the United Kingdom and internationally. Practical options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire is used to set up an initial appointment.

How online sessions use practical therapies
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without being ruled by them and to focus on actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, parenting stress and feeling stuck.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and uses simple experiments and exercises to change unhelpful patterns. This approach is commonly used for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and then try methods that suit those aims. That makes the process collaborative and tailored rather than one-size-fits-all.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quick check-ins and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflections between meetings. These options help people fit therapy around work, childcare and daily routines while keeping the focus on practical tools and steady progress.
