About Andrea
Andrea Stokes focuses on helping people who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, low mood or low self-esteem. She meets each person where they are and works at a steady, manageable pace. Andrea uses practical talking therapy alongside hypnotherapy when that feels helpful.
Andrea has eight years of experience as a counsellor and hypnotherapist. She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She draws on client-centred ways of working to make sessions feel respectful and person-focused.
Background and approach
In sessions Andrea helps people who are coping with stress, trauma and abuse, grief, relationship and family worries, anger, career issues and life changes. She also supports people dealing with guilt, shame, loneliness, panic, phobias, social anxiety, and concerns such as smoking or vaping cessation. Her style is straightforward and calm.
Andrea listens closely, reflects what she hears and helps clients find practical steps forward. Hypnotherapy is offered as an additional tool to help with patterns such as panic attacks, self-esteem or smoking cessation when a client is open to it. People can expect an approach that centres their own goals and pace.
Sessions are adapted to each person and focus on building coping skills, understanding reactions and making steady changes. Andrea works in English and accepts clients in the United Kingdom and internationally.

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
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Andrea will talk with each person about their aims and preferences and suggest which methods might suit them best. Clients and the therapist decide together whether to combine talking work with hypnotherapy or to focus on one approach at a time.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to fit different circumstances. Video calls are good for a face-to-face feel, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows shorter check-ins and texting supports people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to book around work, family and travel while keeping therapy consistent and accessible.
