Andrea Antrobus

Andrea Antrobus is a counsellor registered with the BACP and has six years of practice in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and life changes. Andrea also supports those dealing with relationship and intimacy issues, parenting pressures, eating and trauma-related concerns.

She uses a mix of approaches to fit the person in front of her, combining client-centred listening with cognitive-behavioural ideas and psychodynamic thinking. Sessions often include practical steps to manage difficult thoughts and short exercises to notice patterns in feelings and behaviour. Andrea also draws on solution-focused conversations to identify what someone wants to change next and notice small, useful shifts.

Her background includes work with people affected by emotional and physical abuse, as well as those navigating adoption and foster care, attachment concerns and blended family challenges. She has supported clients with body image and eating-related problems, addiction issues, separation and caregiver stress. These experiences inform how she plans sessions and sets short-term goals.

Andrea aims for clear, straightforward conversations. She will talk through current problems, try small experiments between sessions and review what is helping. Progress is discussed in plain terms so people can see what feels different and what still needs work.

Sessions are offered in English and Andrea accepts international clients. Prospective clients are asked to confirm session formats before booking and to follow the site process to arrange a first session.

How Andrea's approaches translate to online sessions

Andrea commonly uses client-centred work and cognitive-behavioural techniques in sessions. Client-centred work focuses on listening and reflecting so a person can describe what feels difficult and what matters to them. Cognitive-behavioural techniques look at thought patterns and practical coping steps to reduce anxiety, low mood or unhelpful behaviours.

She also uses solution-focused methods that help identify small, concrete changes to try between meetings. Choosing the right mix of approaches is collaborative. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and together decide what to try first, and then check what is helping as you go.

Session formats are not listed here, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove travel time. Registered or accredited professionals often use these practical benefits to help people work around childcare, shift patterns or work breaks while keeping therapy part of everyday life.
