About Andrea
Andrea Stott is a counsellor with 12 years' experience helping people cope with the lasting impact of difficult childhoods, addiction, trauma and complex grief. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which means she adheres to their professional code and ethical framework. Andrea works in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English.
Her approach blends body-focused work with talking therapies. She uses Somatic methods alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and client-centred listening.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to help people notice how stress and past hurt show up in the body as well as the mind. Andrea commonly supports people dealing with anxiety, depression, bipolar difficulties, ADHD and compassion fatigue. She also helps with parenting strain, eating and sleeping problems, addictions, and challenges linked to attachment, adoption or separation.
She works with a wide range of life changes and losses. In practice she offers practical steps and reflective conversation. That might include mapping patterns, trying small behaviour changes, and attending to physical reactions that arise in-session.
The focus is on what feels manageable for each person. Sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. Therapy is arranged through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and appointments are scheduled according to therapist availability.
How somatic and talking approaches work online
Andrea combines Somatic work with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and client-centred listening. Somatic work focuses on how stress and past experiences show up in the body and guides gentle awareness of physical sensations to reduce reactivity. ACT helps people notice thoughts and feelings without being overwhelmed and supports actions that match personal values. Client-centred therapy provides an accepting space where the person leads the pace and topics, and the counsellor responds with empathetic listening.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapy process. Andrea will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then adapt methods collaboratively. This helps ensure sessions match the person's needs rather than following a fixed formula.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to work together. Video calls let people read body language and practice somatic awareness in real time. Phone sessions can feel simpler and more personal for some, while live chat or text messaging suit those who prefer written reflection or need brief check-ins. These options make it easier to fit therapy around daily life and to continue work between sessions.
