Andrea Antrobus, BACP

Andrea Antrobus uses a blend of talking therapies to help people manage anxiety, stress and life changes. She introduces a calm, respectful style and works to make each session feel practical and focused. Andrea is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and brings six years of practice to her work.

Andrea draws on Client-Centred approaches to create a warm space where people feel heard. She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Mindfulness, Psychodynamic ideas and Solution-Focused techniques to shape sessions that match what each person needs. That mix helps with low mood, relationship troubles and difficulties with self-esteem.

People come to Andrea for many concerns, including depression, coping after trauma or abuse, intimacy-related problems and eating or body image worries. She also helps those facing parenting strains, blended family issues, adoption and foster care questions, and the stresses of caregiving. Communication problems, commitment fears and feelings of emptiness are within her focus too.

Sessions aim to identify small, achievable steps and to try out new ways of thinking and behaving between meetings. Andrea keeps language straightforward and checks progress as therapy continues. Her style is collaborative and tailored to each person's circumstances.

Andrea offers appointments across the United Kingdom and accepts international clients. She works via a range of online formats, which can suit people juggling work, childcare or other commitments.

Combining approaches for online support

Andrea uses Client-Centred Therapy to prioritise listening and understanding so people feel respected and heard during sessions. This approach helps when someone needs space to talk through emotions and to make sense of their experience.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and trying practical changes in behaviour. CBT can be useful for anxiety, low mood and problems with stress by offering concrete tools to test between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Andrea works together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She checks in regularly and adapts the plan if something is not helping.

Online therapy with Andrea is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video helps keep a face-to-face feel, phone calls use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break, while chat or messaging can be useful for brief check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options make it straightforward to fit therapy around work, childcare and other commitments and to keep treatment consistent even when schedules change.
