About Andrea

Andrea Antrobus BACP is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with six years' experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship problems, self-esteem concerns and depression, and lists social anxiety and phobia among her focus areas.

She also supports people coping with life changes, parenting challenges and issues linked to trauma and abuse. Andrea works with concerns around intimacy, eating and body image, and the practical strains of caregiving. Her background includes experience with adoption and foster care matters, attachment difficulties and blended family situations.

Andrea uses a mix of approaches so sessions are conversational and goal-focused. She draws on Client-Centred Therapy to centre the person's perspective and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify and test unhelpful thinking patterns. Solution-Focused methods feed into shorter-term planning and steps that can be tried between sessions.

She describes her practice as interactive and respectful, and aims to adapt how she works to each person's needs. That means sessions can include talking through patterns, spotting small changes to try, and reflecting on past experiences that still affect daily life.

Sessions are delivered in English and Andrea accepts international clients. Fees vary by location and services run on a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, users are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the online therapy options button.

How Andrea’s approaches translate to online work

Andrea draws on Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in online sessions. Client-Centred work focuses on the person’s experience and on reflecting what matters to them, which helps when talking through social fears or low confidence. CBT looks at thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses simple exercises to test unhelpful thinking and try new behaviours in everyday situations.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Andrea will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs, then suggest ways of working that suit those aims. The plan can change as therapy progresses to match what feels most useful.

The biography does not specify which session formats are used, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family life, allow a shorter check-in when time is limited, and enable people who are nervous about travel to meet a therapist from their own area. Registered or accredited professionals often adapt exercises for online sessions, for example offering guided thought records, short behavioural experiments to try between meetings, and mindfulness practices you can do at home.
