About Andrea

Andrea Witt is a counsellor with eight years' experience, known for helping people with sleep problems, anxiety and stress. She trained with the NCPS and draws on cognitive behavioural methods in her day-to-day work. Andrea understands how overwhelming life changes can feel and aims to make sessions straightforward and practical.

She knows postnatal mental health from personal experience and uses that background to support people navigating early parenthood challenges. Her approach is down-to-earth and warm. She focuses on what is happening now and on simple steps that can make a difference to daily routine and rest.

Andrea blends Cognitive Behavioural Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and mindfulness ideas when they fit a person’s goals. Sessions tend to be goal-focused and built around practical strategies for managing sleep, intrusive thoughts, low mood and anxiety. She also draws on client-centred and solution-focused ways of working to keep conversations collaborative.

People can expect a non-judgemental space where the counsellor listens and helps clarify next steps. Andrea uses tools such as thought records, behavioural experiments and values-based planning to tackle specific problems. She encourages small, achievable changes rather than large leaps.

Her wider work covers relationship strain, grief, addictions, career concerns and coping with life transitions. She also addresses communication problems, control issues, fertility concerns and compulsive behaviours. The aim is to help each person find clearer routines, better sleep patterns and steadier emotional balance.

How Andrea’s approaches translate to online work

Andrea commonly uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in sessions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments, which can help with sleep problems, intrusive thoughts and anxiety. ACT encourages people to clarify values and take small steps towards them while learning to accept difficult feelings, which can reduce avoidance and improve daily routines.

Finding the right method is part of the work together. Andrea will check in about what matters to the client, try approaches that fit their goals, and adjust plans as progress is made. The process is collaborative, with practical tasks agreed between sessions to build better sleep habits and coping routines.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments around family life, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use worksheets, sleep logs and guided mindfulness exercises between meetings to reinforce new habits.
