About Andrea
Andrea Stokes is a BACP counsellor with eight years of practice in the United Kingdom. She works with adults who are coping with anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. Andrea also supports people managing anger, grief and life changes.
Andrea uses client-centred methods that put the person's perspective first. She listens for what matters to the individual and helps them name patterns that cause repeated upset. She also offers hypnotherapy as a way to access unhelpful habits or entrenched emotional responses.
Sessions focus on practical conversation and clearer thinking about real situations. She helps people spot triggers, try small changes, and rehearse different responses. That can include dealing with workplace frustration, resentment at home, or the ongoing impact of past abuse.
Andrea has experience working with adults affected by childhood sexual abuse and with people who have faced bereavement. She uses straightforward language and works at a steady pace so people can make sense of difficult feelings without added pressure.
Her work combines listening, reflection, and brief techniques from hypnotherapy when appropriate. Clients who want to focus on self-esteem, panic, phobias, or stopping smoking may find these tools useful.

How Andrea's approaches translate to online work
Client-centred therapy is about listening and reflecting back what matters to the client. Online sessions still allow space for someone to tell their story, notice patterns, and try different ways of responding to anger or anxiety. Hypnotherapy uses focused attention and suggestion to address entrenched habits and strong emotional responses; online hypnotherapy typically uses guided relaxation and imagery to help with issues like panic, phobias, smoking cessation or low self-esteem.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Andrea works collaboratively to decide whether client-centred talking, hypnotherapy techniques, or a mix of both best match a person's needs, goals and preferences. She checks in as the work progresses and adjusts the plan with the client.
Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing meetings from convenient locations. They also allow shorter check-ins when that suits a busy day and make it simpler to continue work while living in a different area or country. Confirm which session formats are offered before booking so you know how sessions will be arranged.
