About Andrea
Andrea Bartlett is a counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with nine years' experience. She works in the United Kingdom and helps people with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, coping with life changes, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, and self-esteem.
Andrea adopts a straightforward, conversational style in sessions. She aims to make it easier to talk about difficult feelings and to sort through what matters most. Sessions focus on practical ways to manage symptoms and on noticing patterns that keep problems repeating.
She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide conversations. That can include looking at thoughts and behaviours, practising new ways of responding to stress, and developing better routines for day-to-day life. The choice of techniques depends on the person and the problem they bring.
Andrea’s experience includes nine years working in counselling roles across the UK. She brings that background into her work with adults who want help getting through a hard period or managing longer-term difficulties. Sessions are held in English.
People who contact her first complete a short questionnaire to match needs and schedule a first session. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and fees vary with location. Confirm the current session options before booking.
How Andrea uses evidence-based methods in online counselling
Andrea commonly uses evidence-based techniques that focus on thinking patterns and behaviour. Cognitive approaches look at unhelpful thoughts and how they affect mood, then try simple experiments to test new ways of thinking. Behavioural techniques focus on small, repeatable actions that change day-to-day routines and can reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression.She also uses practical skills for managing distress and loss. These techniques help people build coping strategies for grief, trauma responses and stressful life changes by breaking problems into manageable steps and rehearsing new responses. The choice of approach is matched to the issue rather than fixed in advance.
Finding the right method is part of the work. Andrea discusses options with each person and decides together which techniques to try, based on needs, goals and practicalities. That collaborative process helps shape the goals for therapy and what will be worked on in sessions.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people value online sessions for fitting therapy around work, family commitments or days that are otherwise busy. Online meetings can be shorter check-ins, suit when camera use is difficult, or make it easier to attend from different locations without travel.
