About Andrea

Andrea Stott is a counsellor with 12 years of clinical practice. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, addiction, grief and other lasting effects of difficult childhoods. She also helps people coping with life changes, parenting strains and long-term health concerns.

Andrea is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which means she follows their code of practice and ethical framework.

Background and approach

She holds a BSc (Hons) in Health and an MSc in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. Additional qualifications relate to grief, PTSD and therapeutic practice in mental health. In sessions she focuses on making sense of painful experiences and building practical ways to cope day to day.

Conversations are straightforward and paced to the client’s needs. She uses a mix of approaches to match what a person finds most helpful in the moment. People come to Andrea to work through loss, relationship strain, compulsive or addictive behaviour, low self-esteem and shifting mood patterns.

She also supports those managing chronic illness or the stresses of caregiving. The aim is to reduce overwhelm and increase options for responding to life’s challenges. Andrea tailors her work to each individual and emphasises collaboration.

She listens for patterns that keep problems repeating and helps people try different ways of responding. Over time the focus moves from surviving to making clearer choices about the future.

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Andrea draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy in her online work. CBT looks at thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going and helps people try different responses; it is often useful for anxiety, depression and unhelpful habits. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on the effects of traumatic events and on rebuilding a sense of safety and control after overwhelming experiences.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Andrea will talk through your goals and try different ways of working to see what fits best. Clients and the therapist decide together whether to emphasise trauma-focused work, CBT techniques or a more client-centred listening approach as therapy progresses.

Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical options. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction and non-verbal cues. Phone work can be simpler when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or messaging can suit short check-ins, people who prefer typing, or those fitting therapy into a busy day. These formats make it easier to keep therapy going around other commitments and to access support from different locations in the United Kingdom.
