Andrea Stokes

Andrea Stokes is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage anger and related struggles. She keeps things straightforward and practical, helping clients understand what is getting in the way and what small steps can make a difference. Andrea works in English and practises from the United Kingdom. She holds BACP accreditation, which is recorded as BACP in her credentials.

Andrea uses a person-centred way of working that puts the client’s experience at the heart of each session. That means she listens first, follows what matters most to the individual, and helps them make sense of feelings such as anger, anxiety or shame. She also uses hypnotherapy where appropriate to support change and calm.

Sessions aim to strengthen self-esteem, ease panic and phobic reactions, and provide tools for coping with life changes such as grief or career stress. Andrea has eight years of experience working with people affected by trauma and abuse, and she supports those recovering from sexual assault and abuse.

Her work also addresses loneliness, guilt, relationship strain and habits like smoking or vaping. People seeking help with depression, stress, or finding purpose in life may find her approach useful. Andrea accepts international clients and works with adults who want a steady, listening-based approach combined with practical techniques.

To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire then arrange sessions according to the therapist’s scheduling process. Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How Andrea’s approaches translate to online work

Andrea uses client-centred counselling and hypnotherapy in her practice. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, understanding and reflecting what matters to the person, helping them name feelings and decide next steps. It is commonly used for anxiety, low self-esteem, grief and relationship concerns.

Hypnotherapy involves guided relaxation and focused attention to help change habits or reduce intense reactions. It can be helpful for panic attacks, phobias, smoking or vaping cessation, and lowering stress responses when combined with talking therapy.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Andrea will work with each person to decide what feels most helpful, adapting methods as needs and goals become clearer. The aim is to match style and pace to the individual rather than assume one method fits all.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions around work and daily life, fewer travel requirements and the option of shorter check-ins when needed.
