About Andrea
Andrea Stokes is a counsellor who aims to make therapy feel manageable and down to earth. She works with adults who are dealing with anxiety, depression and low self-esteem. Andrea uses listening and practical conversation to help people take small steps forward.
Andrea trained as a Person-Centred Counsellor and also practises hypnotherapy. Person-centred work means she focuses on what each person brings to the room and follows their pace. Hypnotherapy is offered as another tool to help with patterns like anxiety, panic and smoking cessation.
Background and approach
She has eight years of experience supporting adults living with the effects of sexual abuse in childhood, and she also helps people who are grieving. Andrea talks through coping strategies for anger, relationship strain and major life changes so clients can find clearer ways to manage day to day. Her approach is straightforward and calm.
Sessions involve gentle listening, reflective questions and practical techniques chosen together. She aims to help people build confidence, reduce isolation and move towards clearer goals. Andrea works across a wide range of concerns beyond anxiety and depression, including panic attacks, phobias, shame and loneliness.
She offers a steady, patient presence and tailors each session to what a person needs right now.

Approaches Andrea lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
Hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation and focused attention to address repetitive patterns and strong reactions. It is often paired with talk work to support issues like panic attacks, smoking cessation and managing stress.
Choosing the right approach is a joint process. Andrea will talk with clients about their goals and preferences and try different methods when needed. Together they decide what feels most helpful, and the plan evolves as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when someone needs lower bandwidth or wants a simpler check-in. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins, people who prefer not to be on camera, or those who need flexibility around work or time zones.
