Andrea Stokes, BACP

Andrea Stokes is a BACP-registered counsellor with eight years' experience working in the United Kingdom. She focuses on helping adults who are dealing with anxiety, depression, anger and low self-esteem. She also supports people coping with trauma, grief and major life changes.

Andrea uses a person-centred way of working that keeps conversations straightforward and practical. Sessions tend to focus on what is happening now, what the person wants to change, and small steps that can be tried between meetings. She also offers hypnotherapy alongside talking therapy for people who want an alternative approach to habit change and stress reduction.

Clients often come with workplace stress, relationship strain, or long-held experiences from abuse and loss. Andrea listens for patterns that keep those problems active, then helps people try different responses. She emphasises simple techniques to manage panic, reduce rumination, and calm intense moments of anger.

Her background combines counselling practice with hypnotherapy work, and she draws on both to suit individual preference. Sessions are in English and Andrea accepts international clients. Cost varies by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session. The initial contact helps identify priorities and whether hypnotherapy, person-centred talking, or a mix is the better fit.
