About Andrea
Andrea Antrobus is a counsellor registered with the BACP and has six years' experience working in the United Kingdom. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression and relationship problems, as well as parenting concerns and issues around trauma and abuse. Andrea also supports people dealing with eating and intimacy-related difficulties and identity around attachment and adoption.
Her background includes work with people experiencing maternal mental health challenges, low self-esteem and the practical strains of caregiving. She has supported individuals through separation and divorce, blended-family tensions and the emotional impact of abandonment. Everyday problems such as communication breakdowns, control and commitment worries also feature in her practice.
Andrea uses a mix of talking approaches. Sessions often centre on what the person wants to change now, while also looking at patterns shaped by earlier experiences. She draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, and on psychodynamic thinking to understand deeper patterns that repeat in relationships.
Practical strategies and short-term goals are part of her work, along with mindfulness practices that help with stress and grounding. The style is interactive and conversational, focusing on clear steps people can try between sessions. Andrea aims to help people manage symptoms, make decisions and improve interactions at home.
People interested in starting will be asked to complete a brief matching questionnaire and then arrange a first session. The therapist speaks English and accepts international clients, with costs handled through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
How sessions work
How Andrea uses talking therapies online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and working at the person's pace. It helps people clarify what matters to them and decide on next steps. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical exercises to reduce anxiety, low mood and unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness Therapy uses short practices to reduce stress and improve focus when daily life feels overwhelming.Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. Andrea will talk through goals and try techniques together. She will check what feels useful and adjust the focus as needed so the plan fits the person's situation and preferences.
The practical benefits of online sessions include easier fitting of appointments into a busy day and fewer travel demands. If you need clearer next steps between meetings, the therapist can offer structured exercises and brief check-ins that suit your routine. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. In general, online work aims to make therapy realistic to keep momentum and support progress while fitting with everyday life.
