Andrea Antrobus , BACP

Andrea Antrobus is a counsellor who centres sessions on the person in front of her. She draws on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and client-centred work to help people feel heard and understood. Her manner is warm and non-judgemental, and she aims to make discussing difficult topics easier for those who come to therapy.

Andrea has six years' experience working with a wide range of concerns. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety and depression, and helps those facing relationship and intimacy-related issues. She also works with people coping with major life changes, parenting challenges and eating or body image difficulties.

Her practice includes attention to trauma and abuse, abandonment and attachment issues, and problems that follow separation or divorce. She also assists people with caregiver stress, substance-related concerns and communication or control issues that affect daily life. Sessions are tailored to the individual's needs rather than a one-size-fits-all model.

Andrea uses practical, down-to-earth language in sessions. She combines short-term, goal-focused techniques with talking-based work that looks at past patterns. Mindfulness tools are introduced when helpful to manage tense moments and lower day-to-day anxiety.

Clients can expect a collaborative planning style where goals are agreed together and reviewed. Andrea believes small steps and clear actions can lead to noticeable changes in mood and relationships. She works in English and sees people across the United Kingdom and internationally.

Approaches that translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful, non-judgemental relationship. It helps people feel understood and safe enough to talk about personal issues such as low self-esteem, relationship worries or life changes.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviours keep problems going. It uses practical exercises and clear steps to reduce anxiety, manage mood and change unhelpful patterns that affect daily life.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to manage stress and painful emotions. These short exercises can be practised between sessions to reduce reactivity and improve day-to-day coping.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Andrea will help clients decide which methods suit their needs and goals, and adapt plans as progress is made. This collaborative process means techniques are chosen with the client's preferences in mind.

Online formats offer practical benefits for many people. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction when meeting in person is difficult. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or for brief check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer not to use audio or want more flexible, shorter exchanges. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments.
