About Andrea
Andrea Croston offers help for a wide range of concerns including anxiety, depression, stress, addiction, trauma and self-esteem. She also supports people facing grief, parenting pressures, relationship and intimacy-related issues, ADHD, career strain and coping with life changes. Andrea works with LGBT clients and those dealing with long-term health or caring responsibilities.
Andrea describes her practice as rooted in a person-centred approach. She listens first and follows the lead of the person in front of her.
Background and approach
That means sessions begin with what matters most to the client and build from there in a collaborative way. Her approach draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to look at feelings and bonding patterns, and on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help clients notice and accept difficult thoughts while moving towards valued action.
Andrea also uses attachment-based ideas and cognitive behavioural strategies when they suit the work. Andrea holds BACP, which is listed as her credential. She trained to Level 4 in counselling and psychotherapy and brings about four years of recent professional experience in formal practice, alongside many years of voluntary work supporting people through trauma and life changes.
Sessions are offered in English and she works with people in the United Kingdom as well as international clients. Andrea aims to be flexible about scheduling and prefers a straightforward, respectful style that treats people as the experts on their own lives.

Online support
How emotion-focused and values-based therapy work online
Andrea blends Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and attachment-based ideas to support emotional understanding and connection. EFT helps people notice patterns in their feelings and close relationships, which can be useful for grief, intimacy concerns and attachment issues. ACT teaches practical ways to notice difficult thoughts and still take steps that align with personal values, which helps with anxiety, depression and coping with life changes.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and try different techniques together to see what helps. That means approaches can be combined or adjusted as needed rather than locked in from the start.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, offering practical flexibility. Video helps keep a face-to-face feel, phone calls work when bandwidth is limited, live chat can suit shorter check-ins and messages fit around busy days. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, travel or caring schedules while keeping regular contact with a professional.
