About Andrea
Andrea Stott is a counsellor with 12 years' experience working in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing trauma, addiction and difficult feelings that stem from challenging childhoods. Andrea also helps those coping with grief, relationship strain and ongoing stress or anxiety.
Andrea holds a BSc (Hons) in Health and an MSc in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. She is a Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which means she works within that organisation's code of practice and ethical framework.
Background and approach
In sessions she uses a blend of practical and reflective approaches. She draws on cognitive behavioural methods to help people spot unhelpful thinking patterns. She mixes this with client-centred listening so people feel heard and understood.
Andrea also uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people live with difficult emotions, and psychodynamic thinking to look at how past experiences shape present responses. Emotionally-focused techniques inform her work with relationship concerns and grief. Her practice aims to help people make small changes that add up to relief.
Sessions focus on clear goals, workable steps and time to talk through painful memories. People looking to start can use the Start Therapy button and complete the matching questionnaire to arrange sessions according to her availability.

How Andrea's approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for long-term anxiety, stress and coping with difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thinking patterns and practising new ways of responding to them, which can help with anxiety, low mood and some behavioural issues. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's experience at the centre, offering non-judgemental listening and support while a person makes sense of their problems.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. That collaborative process guides which methods are used and how sessions are shaped over time.
Confirm the session formats before booking because the biography does not list specific online options. People often find online sessions help fit therapy around work, family commitments or busy days. Online work can make it easier to have shorter check-ins, avoid travel and keep continuity when life is unpredictable. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists can discuss practical arrangements and help plan how to make sessions work in everyday life.
