About Andrea

Andrea Antrobus works with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, self-esteem and depression using an integrative approach that she describes as combining Cognitive-Behavioural, Humanistic, Psychodynamic and Solution-Focused methods. She is a BACP member and has six years of experience working as a counsellor in the United Kingdom.

She offers time-limited and open-ended work depending on what each person needs. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking where helpful, alongside talking about past experiences that still affect daily life. She uses mindfulness practices to help manage intense feelings and to slow down unhelpful thinking patterns.

Andrea has worked with people affected by trauma and abuse and with those facing parenting and maternal mental health pressures. She also supports people dealing with eating and body-image issues, relationship and intimacy questions, and life transitions such as separation or divorce.

Her style is interactive and person-centred. Conversations aim to be straightforward and respectful, with attention to what someone wants to change and what has worked for them before. Andrea says she adapts sessions to the individual rather than following a single fixed method.

Clients can expect a mix of talking, practical strategies drawn from cognitive-behavioural methods, and reflective work that draws on psychodynamic ideas. Mindfulness and solution-focused exercises are used to develop coping skills and to set manageable goals. Work often includes attention to communication and decision-making in relationships.

How her approaches translate to online counselling

Client-Centred work focuses on listening and following what the person brings to sessions; it helps when someone needs a respectful space to talk and be heard. Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at thinking patterns and practical strategies for changing behaviour, which can be useful for anxiety, stress and mood concerns. Mindfulness Therapy involves short exercises to notice and manage strong emotions and unhelpful thinking, often used alongside CBT techniques.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the early sessions. The counsellor will talk with the client about goals, what has helped before, and what feels manageable, then agree a way of working together. This is a collaborative process and may change over time as needs evolve.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online working can make it easier to fit counselling into daily life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a workday, or removing the need to be on camera for every session. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises such as CBT worksheets or mindfulness practices to suit remote sessions and everyday routines.
