About Andrea
Andrea Stokes is a Person-Centred counsellor and hypnotherapist with eight years of experience based in the United Kingdom. She works with stress, anxiety, depression and self-esteem concerns, and lists social anxiety and phobia among her areas of focus. Andrea also supports people navigating trauma and abuse, grief, relationship strain and career-related stress.
Her sessions use a Person-Centred approach, sometimes alongside hypnotherapy. She aims to listen and respond to each person's concerns, helping them talk through difficult feelings and make practical changes. Conversations tend to be directo and paced to the client, with attention to what matters most right now.
Andrea has a BACP credential, which is recorded in her professional details. She offers therapy in English and accepts international clients. The practical arrangements such as session length and scheduling are set when a client begins the process.
People coming for help with panic, phobias or social anxiety can expect work that includes exploring triggers, practising grounding or breathing strategies, and considering gradual exposure to feared situations where appropriate. For those dealing with shame, guilt or past sexual assault and abuse, sessions can focus on stabilising immediate distress and building personal coping skills.
To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first appointment. Andrea uses a subscription system for sessions that can be cancelled at any time; costs vary with location and the subscription details are provided during sign-up.
Working with Person-Centred and Hypnotherapy approaches online
Andrea uses Person-Centred Therapy, which focuses on listening to the person's concerns and responding without directing the conversation. This approach helps people who need time to articulate worries about social situations, panic or low self-esteem and wants to feel heard while making sense of what comes up.Hypnotherapy is offered as a complementary method. It involves guided relaxation and focused attention to help people access calmer states and practise new ways of responding to anxiety or phobic reactions. It can be useful alongside talking work for habits, panic symptoms or phobia-related responses.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Andrea will discuss options with each person and decide together which methods suit their goals and comfort level. That collaborative planning helps match techniques to real-life needs rather than assuming one fixed way.
