About Andrea
Andrea Mannion offers calm, straightforward support for people feeling overwhelmed by parenting, stress, anxiety or grief. She writes in a warm, non-judgemental way and aims to make sessions feel manageable for busy lives. Andrea uses clear, practical conversation to help clients find next steps and build everyday coping skills.
Andrea has worked as a counsellor since 2018 and has four years of professional experience. She holds NCPS as a listed credential.
Background and approach
Her approach is flexible and responsive rather than rigid; she shapes each session to what the person needs that day. She uses a mix of talking therapies and mindful techniques to help with sleep, low mood, panic and feeling stuck. Hypnotherapy is sometimes offered as a tool to support relaxation and changing unhelpful habits.
Solution-focused work is used when people want short-term, goal-driven steps. Sessions are practical and down-to-earth. Andrea encourages simple practice between meetings and helps people notice small changes that add up.
She also pays attention to how past patterns affect present feelings, bringing in psychodynamic ideas when that is useful. People who want clear explanations and a compassionate listener may find her style helpful. Andrea works online in the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions according to availability.

Therapeutic approaches you can access online
Andrea uses client-centred therapy to create a respectful, listening space where the person's concerns guide each session. This approach focuses on understanding someone’s experience and helping them find their own solutions, which often suits parenting stress and anxiety.She also uses mindfulness therapy to teach simple attention and breathing practices that reduce stress and improve sleep. Mindfulness can be helpful when worry or racing thoughts make it hard to rest or focus.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Andrea will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then adapt her methods over time. That collaborative process helps decide whether shorter solution-focused steps or deeper reflective work is the best fit.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video works well for face-to-face conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports shorter check-ins and messaging suits people who prefer writing between sessions. These options make it easier to fit counselling around parenting, work and life commitments.
