About Andrea
Andrea Witt is an NCPS counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with eight years of experience. She focuses on anxiety, depression and postnatal mental health alongside a broad range of other concerns including stress, sleep problems, relationship and parenting issues. Andrea uses cognitive behavioural methods among other approaches to help people manage immediate difficulties and set clear goals.
Andrea decided to specialise in postnatal mental health after her own experience of postnatal anxiety following the birth of her daughter. That background shapes how she listens and how she structures work. She supports people who are early post-birth as well as those with older children, and she also sees some men who are adjusting to parenthood.
Her practice draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, including rational emotive behavioural therapy, and she combines that with elements from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, mindfulness and solution-focused work. Sessions tend to be goal oriented and focus on the here and now, while also addressing birth-related trauma when present.
In a session she will help identify the patterns that maintain distress and offer practical strategies to change them. Work can include managing intrusive thoughts, improving sleep, reducing anxiety, and coping with feelings of guilt or shame. The aim is to develop skills people can use between meetings.
People who choose Andrea can expect straightforward language, practical tasks and collaborative planning. She uses a conversational style and encourages clear goals and regular review of progress.

How Andrea uses focused therapies in remote sessions
Andrea often combines Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in her work. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses structured tasks to reduce symptoms such as anxiety, intrusive thoughts or sleep disruption. ACT emphasises noticing difficult thoughts and choosing actions that align with personal values, which can help with guilt, shame and purpose-related concerns.She also draws on client-centred ideas to keep the work collaborative. That means she will work with each person to agree goals and ways of measuring progress. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process and she will adjust methods to suit the person’s needs, goals and preferences.
The original biography does not list which remote formats she uses, so confirm session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Remote sessions also let people maintain continuity if they move or travel, while still focusing on practical skills and goal review.
