About Andrea

Andrea Stokes is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with eight years of practice. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression and building self-esteem, and she also works with people affected by trauma and abuse. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients.

Andrea uses client-centred counselling and hypnotherapy as her main approaches. In client-centred work she prioritises the client's perspective and rhythm, encouraging people to talk through what matters to them. Hypnotherapy is offered as a complementary method to help with symptoms such as panic, phobias, smoking or unhelpful habits.

Her work covers grief, relationship strain, family concerns, anger and career questions. She also helps with feelings of guilt, shame, isolation and questions about life purpose. Clinical issues listed include panic disorder and panic attacks, social anxiety and phobia, self-harm and sexual assault and abuse.

Sessions aim to be straightforward and practical. Conversations tend to focus on coping strategies, understanding emotional reactions and small steps that can be taken between sessions. Treatment plans are shaped from the first meetings and reviewed as work progresses.

People considering therapy are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire before booking. The questionnaire helps to identify priorities and to schedule an initial appointment. Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How her approaches are used in online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the client's own experience and pace. In practice this means the therapist listens, reflects and helps the client identify what matters most. This approach is commonly used for anxiety, low mood and self-esteem concerns.

Hypnotherapy involves guided relaxation and focused attention to help change responses like panic, phobic reactions or habitual behaviours such as smoking and vaping. It is presented as a complementary method alongside conversational work rather than a replacement.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist discusses the client's goals and preferences and adapts methods over time. Decisions about using hypnotherapy or sticking with client-centred sessions are made collaboratively during early meetings.

Confirm the exact session options before booking, since the biography does not specify formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also allow sessions where being on camera is optional or where phone calls are used for lower bandwidth. Registered or accredited professionals typically offer these practical benefits while helping to keep therapy focused on everyday challenges.
