About Andrea

Andrea Witt works with stress, anxiety, sleep problems, parenting concerns and a wide range of emotional difficulties using cognitive behavioural methods and related approaches. She is registered with the NCPS and has eight years of clinical experience in the United Kingdom.

Andrea chose to specialise in postnatal mental health after experiencing postnatal anxiety herself. She understands being overwhelmed, frightened and isolated after a birth, and she supports people who are coping with intrusive thoughts, low mood and obsessive worries following parenthood.

Her practice is rooted in cognitive behavioural ideas, including rational emotive behavioural therapy, which focuses on practical, goal-oriented work in the here and now. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, client-centred methods and mindfulness techniques where these help the work.

Sessions involve clear, structured conversations. Andrea helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns, then practises alternative ways of responding. She offers short exercises and simple behavioural tasks to try between sessions.

Apart from postnatal issues, Andrea supports people with relationship and family difficulties, grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, eating concerns, anger, work stress and questions about life purpose. She also works with issues such as fertility problems, isolation, hoarding, obsessive-compulsive behaviours and compassion fatigue.

Sessions are conducted in English and Andrea accepts international clients. Costs vary with location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, use the Talk to a counsellor online button, complete the short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How Andrea uses CBT, ACT and client-centred work online

Andrea commonly uses cognitive behavioural methods, which focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing practical behavioural changes to reduce distress. This approach is useful for anxiety, sleep problems, obsessive thinking and mood difficulties.

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while building actions that match what matters to them. Client-centred work provides space for people to describe their experience and be listened to without judgement, which can help with processing grief, trauma or major life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Andrea will discuss goals, preferences and what feels helpful, and together they will choose methods to try. The choice of techniques can evolve as progress is made.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into daily life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during busy days, or avoiding video when someone prefers an audio-only conversation. Registered or accredited professionals often use these practical advantages to help therapy fit around work, family and other commitments.
