Andrea Witt , NCPS

Andrea Witt is a counsellor with eight years' experience. She draws on cognitive behavioural approaches while keeping sessions practical and down to earth. Andrea often supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, low mood and parenting concerns, and she is experienced in postnatal mental health from her personal and professional perspective.

She understands how frightening and isolating postnatal anxiety can feel. Andrea speaks plainly about intrusive thoughts, exhaustion and the challenges of adjusting to a new role. Her style is warm and open so people can say what they are worried about without judgement.

Andrea uses goal-focused work that looks at current thoughts, feelings and behaviours. She blends cognitive behavioural methods with acceptance and mindfulness ideas when helpful. This means sessions may include noticing thought patterns, trying small experiments and learning ways to respond differently day to day.

She also supports people with grief, relationship and intimacy-related issues, addictions, sleeping problems, eating concerns and coping with life changes. Communication problems, control issues and fertility worries are among other areas she addresses.

Sessions are offered in English and Andrea sees people across the United Kingdom and internationally. Practical formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and ongoing text-based messaging, allowing flexibility around busy lives and childcare commitments.

Therapeutic approaches online and how they help

Andrea commonly uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and helps with anxiety, low mood and insomnia by teaching practical skills and behavioural experiments. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is also part of her work and supports people to notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck in them while clarifying what matters most in life. Client-Centred Therapy informs her style too, offering a warm, non-judgemental space where people can be heard and make changes at their own pace.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and Andrea treats it as a collaboration. She will discuss options with each person, try approaches that suit their goals, and adapt methods based on what feels most helpful over a few sessions.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for busy lives. Video calls let people meet face to face without travel, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be used for shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around childcare, work and daily routines while keeping the focus on making steady progress.
