About Andrea

Andrea Witt is a cognitive behavioural counsellor with eight years' experience supporting people through anxiety and related concerns. She draws on her personal experience of postnatal anxiety to shape a down-to-earth way of working. Andrea aims to make it easier to talk about worries and practical steps for coping.

Her background centres on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, including rational emotive behavioural therapy, or REBT, which focuses on thoughts, feelings and actions in the here and now. She also uses elements from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, mindfulness and solution-focused ideas when they help a person reach their goals. Andrea uses these approaches flexibly rather than following one fixed formula.

Sessions are conversational and goal-focused. She keeps things direct and practical, helping people identify unhelpful patterns and try new responses between sessions. She aims to be warm and non-judgemental so people feel heard while working on clear steps forward.

Andrea has particular experience around postnatal mental health, supporting people with anxiety, depression, intrusive thoughts and obsessive-compulsive concerns after childbirth. She also helps with sleep problems, stress, relationship and family issues, grief, anger, addictions and finding life direction.

People who want straightforward tools and short-term, practical work may find her approach useful. She accepts international clients and works in English. To begin, readers should use the platform Start Therapy flow to complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange sessions according to her availability.

How Andrea adapts evidence-based approaches to online work

Andrea commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in remote sessions. CBT involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviours, which suits worries, panic-related patterns and intrusive thoughts. ACT emphasises noticing thoughts and choosing actions that match your values, which can help with avoidance and distress tolerance.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Andrea will work with clients to decide which methods match their goals and preferences, and adjust tools as progress unfolds. She aims for practical plans that can be used between sessions so breakthroughs transfer into everyday life.

The specifics of session delivery are not listed in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around childcare, work or travel and can allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also means practical exercises and worksheets can be shared and reviewed together during appointments, helping people try techniques straightaway and track small changes over time.
