About Andrea

Andrea Antrobus is a counsellor who works from a person-centred approach and blends other practical methods. She uses straightforward conversation and focused techniques to help people manage stress, anxiety, low mood and relationship worries. Andrea is based in the United Kingdom and is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

She draws on client-centred work to create a respectful space where people feel heard. Cognitive behavioural ideas are used to spot unhelpful thinking and try small, doable changes.

Background and approach

Mindfulness tools help with grounding and managing strong emotions in the moment. Andrea also uses psychodynamic thinking to look at patterns that repeat over time. Solution-focused methods help set clear, short-term goals so sessions can lead to practical steps.

This mix is adapted to each person rather than following one fixed plan. She has six years of experience supporting people with depression, parenting strain, eating and body image issues, trauma and abuse, and problems around intimacy and attachment. Andrea also works with concerns linked to adoption and foster care, blended family dynamics, substance use and caregiver stress.

Sessions aim to be collaborative and paced to what each person needs. Andrea helps people notice small changes, try different responses and build on what already works. She encourages clear goals and regular check-ins so progress can be reviewed together.

Ways of working Andrea names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How Andrea’s approaches work online

Andrea commonly blends client-centred work and cognitive behavioural techniques. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful therapeutic relationship so the person feels understood and able to talk things through. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and provides practical exercises to reduce anxiety or low mood.

Mindfulness is also used to teach simple attention and grounding exercises that help with strong emotions or stress. These approaches suit worries such as anxiety, depression, relationship strain and coping with life changes. Andrea will discuss which methods match a person’s situation and goals, and will adapt the plan as they go. This is a collaborative process where the therapist and client decide what feels most helpful.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for people with busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when distance or travel is difficult. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief reflections, ongoing support between sessions or for people who find writing easier than talking. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy around work, childcare or other commitments.
