About Andrea

Andrea Witt is an NCPS counsellor based in the United Kingdom with eight years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, sleep problems, parenting challenges and anger. Her practice also covers issues such as trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, relationship concerns, eating problems and career-related stress.

Andrea uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy ideas alongside other evidence-informed methods. She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness to help clients notice thoughts and choose actions that match their values. She also uses client-centred and solution-focused techniques to keep sessions practical and goal oriented.

Her own experience with postnatal anxiety influenced her focus on perinatal mental health, and she supports people dealing with anxiety after childbirth and related intrusive thoughts. She is comfortable talking about birth trauma and the specific stresses that come after becoming a parent. Andrea also works with people managing ongoing control issues, guilt, shame and problems with communication.

Sessions aim to identify patterns that fuel angry reactions and to test different responses in everyday life. Conversations typically involve clear behavioural steps, short experiments between sessions and skills practice for handling frustration and resentment. Andrea favours approaches that address what is happening now and build practical tools for coping.

She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. Before booking, people are encouraged to check the current session formats and subscription arrangements.

Approaches used online and how they help

Andrea commonly uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in online sessions. CBT works by identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviours, which can help reduce reactive anger and worry. ACT focuses on values and committed action, helping people respond to strong feelings without having to act on them immediately. She also uses mindfulness techniques to help people notice tension and breath patterns that often accompany anger. Mindfulness practice can make it easier to pause before reacting and to choose a different response in heated moments. The therapist will work with each person to decide which combination of approaches fits their goals and situation; finding the right method is a collaborative process based on needs and preferences. Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online work can make it simpler to fit therapy into daily life - for example shorter check-ins can be scheduled around work breaks, sessions without video can reduce bandwidth needs, and remote appointments avoid travel time. These practical benefits often help people keep therapy consistent while they practise new ways of handling anger.
