About Andrea
Andrea Stott is a counsellor with 12 years' experience supporting people through trauma, addiction and the long-term effects of a difficult childhood. She works with individuals facing anxiety, depression, bipolar difficulties and complex grief. Andrea is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which guides her professional practice.
Andrea combines practical talking therapy with attention to emotional patterns that keep problems repeating. She uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people name and shift painful emotional cycles.
Background and approach
She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to develop clearer thinking, manageable goals and skills for day-to-day coping. Her work often suits people dealing with parenting strain, compassion fatigue, chronic illness or long-term stress. She also supports those navigating adoption and foster care issues, attachment concerns and separation after divorce.
Sessions focus on what matters now and on small steps that make life easier between meetings. Andrea trained in health and psychological disciplines and built experience over more than a decade in the United Kingdom. Her BSc and MSc studies inform a practical approach that keeps conversation grounded in everyday life.
She explains therapy options and helps people choose what fits their situation. Appointments are offered in English and run in different formats to suit people’s schedules. The emphasis is on steady progress, clear communication and working at a pace that feels safe for the individual.

Online support
How Andrea's approaches translate to online therapy
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people recognise and name their core emotions and the interaction patterns they create. Online sessions can be used to notice those patterns in real time and practise different responses during conversations with a counsellor. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on values and small committed actions. Through video or messaging, ACT work can include short exercises to clarify what matters and simple steps to move in that direction between sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, aims to identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical experiments to change them. In remote sessions a counsellor can set brief tasks, review outcomes and adjust plans in the next meeting. Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences and how severe the issue feels, then suggest a way forward. That may mean using one approach mainly or blending methods to suit the person’s needs. Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls let people see visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat work well for brief check-ins or slower-paced reflection. These options help people fit therapy into work, caring roles or other commitments while keeping focus on steady progress and practical tools.We will earn a commission if you sign up through our link, at no cost to you.
