About Andrea
Andrea Antrobus is a BACP-registered counsellor working in the United Kingdom with six years' experience. She works with stress, anxiety, depression and relationship concerns as well as issues around self-esteem, parenting and intimacy-related difficulties. Andrea also lists experience supporting people through trauma and abuse and with eating and body image struggles.
Andrea uses a mix of talking approaches to help people who carry shame or guilt about choices, relationships or past events. She draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and client-centred ways of working to look at thoughts and patterns that keep someone stuck. Mindfulness tools are used alongside practical steps to manage distress and make small changes day to day.
Her background includes work with maternal mental health, people recovering from physical or emotional abuse, and those facing life changes such as separation or blended family adjustments. That experience informs how she supports people dealing with abandonment, attachment and communication problems.
Sessions focus on clear, respectful conversations and on finding what helps in everyday life. Andrea aims to balance looking at past experiences with setting achievable goals for now. She invites people to try different approaches and to pace the work according to their needs.
People can expect straightforward language and practical options rather than jargon. Andrea asks new clients to complete a short questionnaire before booking so she can understand the main concerns and plan the first meeting.
How Andrea uses different approaches in online work
Andrea often combines Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy in sessions. CBT looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and offers practical exercises to reduce anxiety or shift unhelpful thinking. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person, helping them feel heard and understood.She also draws on mindfulness techniques to help people notice stress and calm intense feelings in the moment. Deciding which mix to use is collaborative - the therapist and client review what feels useful and adjust the approach as work continues. This means the method can change as goals or circumstances change.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the exact session formats before booking. Many people find online work helps fit therapy around daily life, for example making it easier to join from a break at work, avoiding travel time, or choosing a shorter check-in when schedules are tight. The therapist will discuss practical arrangements and what will suit the client's needs when you start the matching process.
