Andrea Witt, NCPS

Andrea Witt is a counsellor who works from her own experience and eight years in practice. She trained with NCPS and uses clear, goal-focused methods to help people manage anxiety, low mood, and life changes. Andrea is comfortable talking about parenting strains and the intense feelings that can follow childbirth, because she has lived through them herself.

Her style is open, warm and straightforward. She aims to make clients feel heard without judgement and helps them set practical goals. Sessions tend to focus on where the person is now and what small steps feel doable next.

Andrea combines cognitive behavioural techniques with acceptance-based and mindfulness ideas. She draws on solution-focused tools when people want to move quickly toward practical change. That mix is used to address sleep problems, stress, compulsive behaviours, and relationship or intimacy concerns.

People come to Andrea for a wide range of issues including grief, trauma and abuse, addiction, parenting pressures, career crossroads and midlife crisis. She also supports those dealing with guilt, control issues, fertility worries, hoarding and isolation. Her work often centres on clearer thinking, better routines and rebuilding confidence.

Her approach suits people who prefer direct, pragmatic support with room for personal reflection. To begin, clients use the site Start Therapy button to complete a short questionnaire and then arrange sessions according to the therapist's scheduling process.

Approaches that guide online work and practical change

Andrea often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts without getting swept away by them and to clarify what matters most in life. This approach can be useful for anxiety, midlife questions and motivational blocks.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and tests new ways of coping. CBT is commonly used for low mood, sleep problems, compulsions and stress management.

Finding the right approach is usually a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences, try methods that fit your situation, and adjust as you learn what helps. This means working together on a plan rather than following a fixed template.

For practical online work, confirm current session options before booking as the profile does not specify formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow brief check-ins when full-length sessions are harder to arrange. They also let people use audio-only options when bandwidth is limited or when a quieter check-in is needed. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, homework and mindfulness practice to work well in remote sessions.
