Andrea Stott
Experienced trauma and grief counsellor
About Andrea
Andrea Stott is a counsellor with 12 years of experience working in the United Kingdom. She focuses on complex trauma, addiction, grief and adult problems linked to difficult childhoods. Andrea also helps people who are struggling with relationship difficulties and long-term loss.
Andrea is a Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, often shown as BACP. That means she works within their code of practice and ethical framework.
Background and approach
She holds a BSc (Hons) in Health and an MSc in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. Her background includes advanced psychotherapy study at level 5 and PTSD qualifications at level 5. She has further training in grief and loss at level 4 and as a therapeutic practitioner in mental health at level 4.
These studies shape how she plans sessions and tailors support. In sessions Andrea uses a mix of approaches. She draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to help with patterns of thinking and behaviour.
She uses client-centred skills to create a space where people can bring their worries and be heard. She also uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people clarify values and take manageable steps forward. When trauma or deep emotional wounds are present, she combines psychodynamic thinking and emotionally-focused work to look at long-standing patterns.
The focus is practical - helping people make small changes they can use in daily life.

Therapeutic approaches and online counselling options
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to name what matters to them and to take small steps in that direction, even when emotions are difficult. It can help with anxiety, depression and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing new ways of acting, which can reduce distress and improve routines for sleep, eating and mood. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on understanding strong feelings and how they affect close relationships, helping people repair connection and manage relationship pain.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Andrea will talk with each person about their concerns, goals and preferences, and suggest methods that fit. She aims to be collaborative, adjusting the balance of techniques as therapy progresses so it stays relevant and practical.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when bandwidth permits. Phone sessions can be easier when a camera is not wanted and may suit shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging are useful for people who prefer writing, need brief contact between sessions, or want more flexible timings. These formats make therapy more accessible and easier to fit around work, caregiving and daily life.
