About Andrea
Andrea Stott is an experienced counsellor who focuses on trauma, addiction and adult problems that stem from a difficult childhood. She has 12 years of practice and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Andrea works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression and issues tied to loss and grief.
Andrea describes a direct and steady approach in sessions. She draws on several methods to help people understand patterns and try new ways of coping.
Background and approach
Sessions are practical and aim to make small changes that feel manageable for daily life. Her background includes study in health and mental health, and postgraduate training in cognitive behavioural therapy. Andrea also has advanced psychotherapy and trauma qualifications, and training in grief work and therapeutic approaches for PTSD.
People come to Andrea for parenting concerns, relationship strains, addiction, mood difficulties and long-term effects of early life experiences. She also offers support for neurodiversity, body image, chronic illness and carer stress. Sessions typically focus on what’s most pressing for the person and on developing realistic steps forward.
In a first meeting she listens to what brought someone to therapy and helps set clear, short-term goals. Her style is warm but straightforward, aiming to make sessions feel useful and focused on change.

Approaches that guide online work
Andrea uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy as part of her practice. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and supports living according to personal values. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical techniques for reducing anxiety or low mood.She also draws on Client-Centred Therapy to create a supportive space where the person leads the conversation. This approach helps people feel heard and gain clarity about what matters to them. Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist and client review needs, goals and preferences and agree on methods that feel right together.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different lives. Video is useful for face-to-face style work, phone calls can suit those with lower bandwidth, and messaging helps with quick check-ins or flexible scheduling. These options make it easier to keep therapy going around work, childcare and daily routines.
