About Andrea
Andrea Stokes offers calm, steady support for people feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, low mood, or major life changes. She uses a gentle, person-focused approach to help people rebuild confidence and find practical ways forward. Andrea is based in the United Kingdom and works in English.
Andrea draws on eight years of experience as a counsellor and hypnotherapist and holds BACP accreditation. She aims to create a relaxed space where people can talk through difficult memories and strong emotions at their own pace.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on what matters to the individual and on small, realistic steps to feel better day to day. Her work often addresses stress, panic and phobias, grief and loss, trauma and abuse, and difficulties with self-esteem and relationships. Andrea also supports people struggling with shame, isolation, career worries, smoking or vaping cessation, and the aftermath of sexual assault and abuse.
Client-Centred Therapy is central to her practice, which means the conversation follows the person’s needs rather than a rigid plan. Hypnotherapy can be used as an additional tool to help with habits, anxiety and focused change when appropriate. She encourages people to set the pace and decide what feels useful.
If you are unsure whether her style fits your needs, the initial matching process can help identify whether to progress to sessions together.

How Andrea works online
Hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation and focused attention to support behaviour change and reduce strong symptoms such as panic, phobic responses or habitual behaviours. When used alongside a person-centred approach, it can offer practical ways to manage anxiety, build confidence and address habits like smoking or vaping.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try. That choice is collaborative and can be adjusted as progress is made.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, family life and travel. It can reduce time spent commuting and allow shorter check-ins when needed. The biography does not list specific session formats here, so please confirm which formats are offered before booking to ensure they suit your schedule and needs.
