Corinna Andrews, BACP

Corinna Andrews offers support for stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, trauma and abuse, and grief. She welcomes people who are hearing impaired and works to make communication easier. Corinna uses straightforward language and a calm approach to help people talk about what is happening for them.

Corinna practices person-centred counselling and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She aims to create a warm, compassionate space where people can go at their own pace. Sessions focus on listening, understanding current thoughts and feelings, and making sense of behaviours.

Her background includes many years working within the NHS, mainly in mental health support and administration. She also works as a counsellor in a GP surgery and has provided placement counselling for the charity Mind. Earlier in her career she supported young people as a mentor for a local authority.

Corinna completed a course in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which she now brings into her counselling alongside a person-centred style. She combines practical ideas with reflective listening to help people spot unhelpful patterns and try different ways of responding.

Sessions are delivered in English and she helps people use the best communication method for their needs. The aim is to build trust, increase understanding, and support realistic next steps that fit each person’s life.

How Corinna uses person-centred and CBT online

Corinna uses person-centred counselling to create a listening, non-judgemental space. This approach focuses on the person's own experiences and values and helps people feel heard and understood. It is useful for anxiety, low self-esteem, grief and general emotional distress.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together. CBT offers simple, practical strategies to test unhelpful thoughts and try different responses, which can help with anxiety, depression and stress.

Choosing the right approach is a shared task. Corinna works with each person to decide which ideas to use and adjusts methods over time based on how things are going. This collaborative way helps match techniques to people’s needs, goals and preferences.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different situations. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions suit those who prefer not to be on camera, live chat allows a quicker back-and-forth, and text messaging can work for shorter check-ins or when typing is easier. These options help fit therapy around work, family and day-to-day life while keeping the focus on progress and practical coping strategies.
