About Andrea
Andrea Stott is a counsellor with 12 years of experience supporting people through anxiety and other stressful life challenges. She brings a calm, straightforward style to sessions. Andrea listens carefully and helps clients find practical ways to cope and move forward.
Andrea has a background in mental health and psychotherapy. She holds a BSc (Hons) in Health and an MSc in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. She is a BACP member, which means she works to their professional code of practice.
Background and approach
Her work often focuses on the impact of difficult early experiences, including trauma, abandonment and attachment issues. She also supports people facing addiction, complex grief, depression and bipolar challenges. Andrea helps with practical problems such as sleep, eating concerns, caregiver stress and chronic illness adjustments.
In sessions she blends talking therapy approaches to suit the person in front of her. That can include client-centred listening, CBT thinking work, and elements drawn from psychodynamic ideas and emotionally-focused methods. The aim is to make therapy relevant to each person’s immediate needs.
Andrea offers a measured, compassionate approach. She works with people on parenting stress, family-related strain and LGBT concerns without assuming a one-size-fits-all plan. Clients will find clear, manageable steps and space to talk about difficult feelings.
Practical matters such as session format and scheduling are handled up front. She works with people in English and does not work with international clients. The focus is on steady progress rather than quick fixes.
How Andrea's approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without being led by them, and then focus on small actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and offers practical exercises to reduce unhelpful patterns such as worry and sleep disturbance. Client-Centred Therapy centres on empathic listening and creating a non-judgemental space so people can make sense of their own solutions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Andrea will discuss different methods together and tailor sessions to an individual’s goals and preferences. That collaborative planning helps decide whether to use ACT, CBT, psychodynamic ideas or a mix depending on the presenting issue.
Online therapy here is delivered by registered or accredited professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation when visual connection matters. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer typing or need more flexible timing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and other commitments.
