About Andrea

Andrea Stokes is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety and low mood. She works in a straightforward, calm way and aims to make sessions easy to follow for someone feeling overwhelmed. Andrea uses conversation and practical tools to help people build confidence and cope with life changes.

She offers support for grief and for people recovering from trauma and sexual assault and abuse. Andrea also helps with relationship worries, anger, career concerns and feelings of isolation or shame.

Background and approach

She has particular experience with panic attacks, phobias and social anxiety. Andrea combines a client-centred approach with hypnotherapy. The client-centred side means sessions follow what matters most to the individual.

Hypnotherapy can be used to support relaxation, change habits or reduce panic symptoms when appropriate. She has eight years of experience and works with adults seeking to understand themselves better or move past difficult events. Sessions are offered in English and Andrea sees people in the United Kingdom as well as international clients.

Practical matters are kept simple. Andrea uses a conversational style, offers tools you can try between sessions, and discusses options so people feel involved in their own progress.

Approaches and online options for therapy

Andrea uses client-centred work and hypnotherapy as two main ways to help people. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so a person can make sense of their feelings and decide what matters most to them. This approach often helps with low self-esteem, grief and coping with life changes. Hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation and focused attention to support habit change, reduce panic symptoms or build calm responses to stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Andrea will discuss options and adapt methods based on each person's goals and preferences, so the plan is agreed together rather than imposed. That collaborative decision helps people feel more confident about taking steps between sessions.

Online therapy offers practical benefits such as fitting sessions into busy days and avoiding travel. Video calls are useful when visual contact helps the conversation, phone sessions work well for quieter check-ins or lower bandwidth, and live chat or text-based messaging suit short updates or when typing feels easier. These formats make it simpler to maintain continuity of care across locations and time zones, and they provide flexibility to match different routines and needs.
