Andrea WittNCPS

Andrea Witt is a counsellor with eight years' experience who focuses on parental mental health after childbirth. She trained as a Cognitive Behavioural Therapist and uses that background to help people facing anxiety, low mood, intrusive thoughts and related concerns after having a baby. Andrea writes from personal experience of postnatal anxiety, and this shapes how she listens and responds to people in sessions.

She offers direct, goal-focused work rooted in CBT principles. Sessions look at current triggers and practical ways to reduce distress. Andrea also draws on acceptance and mindfulness ideas when they fit the person’s needs.

Her style is warm and straightforward. She aims to create a non-judgemental space where parents can talk about feeling lost, angry or overwhelmed. The emphasis is on small, manageable steps that can be used between sessions.

Andrea works with a wide range of concerns connected to parenting and life changes. These include sleep problems, stress, relationship strain, grief, fertility issues and symptoms linked to trauma or obsessive thoughts. She also supports people dealing with addictions, compulsions and career pressures alongside parenting challenges.

People who choose Andrea tend to want practical tools plus space to process emotions. She explains methods simply and helps set clear goals. To begin, people are guided through a short matching process and then schedule sessions based on availability.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Andrea combines Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Client-Centred approaches in ways that suit each person. CBT looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage intrusive thoughts and change unhelpful patterns. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, warmth and acceptance so people feel heard as they work through emotional material.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Andrea will work with clients to identify goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together they plan sessions that reflect those aims and adapt methods as progress is made.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the exact session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also help people keep continuity of care if they move or travel internationally. Many registered or accredited professionals offer ways to tailor session length and focus to fit everyday life, and Andrea will discuss practical arrangements when you start.
