Andrea Witt
Specialist in postnatal mental health
About Andrea
Andrea Witt trained as a Cognitive Behavioural Therapist and has eight years of clinical experience. She combines practical techniques with a warm, approachable manner. She is based in the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English, including to international clients.
She specialises in postnatal mental health, drawing on her own experience of postnatal anxiety to shape empathetic care. She helps people navigate anxiety, depression, intrusive thoughts and obsessive-compulsive patterns that can follow childbirth.
Background and approach
Sessions are focused on immediate concerns and on finding workable steps forward. Andrea uses goal-oriented CBT methods alongside acceptance, mindfulness and solution-focused ideas. That means sessions often include looking at thoughts and behaviours, practising small experiments, and learning ways to be present and act on values.
She adapts tools to the situation rather than sticking to one rigid method. Her style is open and non-judgemental. She aims to create a space where people feel heard and can talk honestly about fear, guilt, shame or exhaustion.
Practical strategies are balanced with support for emotional processing. Beyond postnatal topics, Andrea works with a broad range of concerns such as stress, sleep problems, addiction-related patterns, grief, intimacy issues and difficulties with control or communication. She offers video, phone, chat and text-based sessions so people can choose what fits their lives.

Sessions & fees
Approaches you can use in online sessions
Andrea commonly blends Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns and testing out alternative responses through practical exercises. ACT encourages noticing thoughts and feelings without fighting them and choosing actions that align with personal values, which can help when worry or intrusive thoughts feel overwhelming.Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will work collaboratively to decide which methods suit the person's goals and preferences, and may draw on mindfulness or solution-focused techniques as needed. The first few sessions are often used to clarify priorities and try approaches that feel like a good fit.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and a more conversational style. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging make short check-ins and reflection possible between scheduled meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around childcare, work or other commitments and let people choose the format that helps them engage best.
