About Andrea

Andrea Stokes is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage anxiety, stress and the effects of trauma. She uses a calm, person-centred style to help clients feel heard and understood. Andrea holds BACP accreditation and brings eight years of practice to each session.

She believes therapy should be straightforward and practical. Sessions often begin with listening to what matters most to the client and agreeing clear, manageable goals. Andrea combines client-centred counselling with hypnotherapy when appropriate to help with confidence, panic and phobias.

Background and approach

People come to Andrea for many reasons, including grief, low self-esteem, relationship strain and life changes. She also supports work on guilt, shame, loneliness and recovery from sexual assault and abuse. Her approach is to break problems into smaller steps and find ways forward that feel achievable.

Throughout the work she focuses on building coping skills and increasing self-understanding. Hypnotherapy is offered as a complementary tool to strengthen coping and reduce symptoms such as panic attacks or problematic habits. Sessions are adapted to each person rather than following a fixed script.

Andrea practises in the United Kingdom and offers online options for sessions. Her style aims to be steady and respectful while helping people rediscover confidence and a clearer sense of direction.

How Andrea’s approaches translate to online therapy

Andrea uses client-centred therapy and hypnotherapy as core tools in her online practice. Client-centred therapy means she prioritises listening and follows the client’s pace; it helps with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and relationship worries by focusing on the person’s own goals. Hypnotherapy is offered as a complementary option to support reducing panic, changing habits like smoking or vaping, and easing strong emotional reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Andrea will discuss options and adapt methods based on the client’s needs, goals and preferences so the plan feels collaborative and realistic.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, giving practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can suit shorter check-ins, and live chat or text messaging can fit into busy days or be useful between longer sessions. These formats make it easier to access therapy from different locations and routines while keeping the focus on steady progress.
