About Andrea
Andrea Stokes is a counsellor who focuses on helping people find steadier footing when life feels overwhelming. She presents as calm and straightforward, offering practical support for stress, anxiety, low mood and self-esteem. Andrea uses conversational work alongside hypnotherapy techniques to help people feel less stuck and more in control.
She believes therapy should fit each person. Sessions begin with listening to what matters most and setting small, clear goals.
Background and approach
Andrea draws on client-centred counselling to make space for whatever you bring, and uses hypnotherapy as a way to access coping resources and change unhelpful patterns. Her work covers a wide range of concerns. She helps people manage panic and phobias, navigate grief and loss, and cope with the impact of trauma and abuse.
Other areas she supports include relationship tension, career stress, loneliness, guilt and shame, and challenges around self-harm or self-love. Andrea has eight years of experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She offers sessions to people in the United Kingdom and to international clients in English.
Formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. People who choose her can expect a steady, listening approach and practical steps to try between sessions. She encourages collaboration so work in therapy matches each person's pace and goals.

Online support
How hypnotherapy and client-centred work translate online
Andrea offers two main approaches online. Client-centred counselling focuses on listening and reflecting so people can understand their feelings and choose their next steps; it is useful for anxiety, low mood and life changes. Hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation and focused attention to help access attitudes and habits below conscious thought, which can be useful for issues like smoking cessation, phobias, panic and certain stress responses.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Andrea will talk through options with each person, test what feels comfortable, and adjust methods to fit their goals and preferences. The intention is to find practical techniques that work between sessions as well as during them.
Online sessions offer flexibility and different ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging suit short check-ins or people who prefer typing. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family commitments and travel while keeping continuity of care with a registered BACP professional.
