Andrea Witt, NCPS

Andrea Witt is a counsellor who trained in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and holds NCPS. She draws on eight years of experience and a personal understanding of postnatal mental health after having her daughter. Andrea aims to make it easier to talk about anxiety, intrusive thoughts, low mood and the practical strain of early parenthood. Her style is direct and practical. She uses goal-focused CBT methods alongside other approaches she has studied to address current problems. Sessions typically look at thoughts and everyday habits that keep difficulties going, and build simple strategies to change them. Andrea spends time listening to what matters most to each person. She keeps a warm, non-judgemental tone and invites straightforward conversation about fears, sleep problems, parenting stress and relationship strain. She also supports people coping with grief, trauma, addiction, compulsive behaviours and career or life changes. Therapy may include work on unwanted thoughts, rebuilding self-esteem, improving communication and finding ways to manage anger or compulsions. She also offers guidance for fertility-related distress, midlife concerns and issues linked to isolation and compassion fatigue. Sessions are offered in English and Andrea accepts international clients. If you are looking for practical, thought-focused support from someone who understands postnatal difficulties, she can help you clarify goals and try new ways of coping.

How therapeutic approaches fit into online work

Andrea commonly uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in her practice. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing everyday habits that keep problems going, which can help with anxiety, sleep issues and compulsive behaviours. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages noticing difficult feelings without fighting them and choosing actions that match personal values, useful for low mood, grief and life changes.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, try different techniques and adjust the focus as the work progresses. That means sessions can combine practical thought work with mindfulness and values-based exercises to fit each person’s needs.

If you are considering online therapy, check which session types are offered before booking since the profile does not list formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people keep therapy going while living abroad, as Andrea accepts international clients. The emphasis is on making therapy work around everyday life and the goals you bring to the room.
