About Andrea

Andrea Croston is a person-centred counsellor who grounds her work in a holistic outlook, believing the whole person and their life context matter in the therapeutic process. She practices from a foundation of empathy and active listening, inviting clients to lead the way while offering steady, professional support. Andrea holds BACP accreditation - a membership with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and has four years of professional experience following completion of a Level 4 qualification in counselling and psychotherapy in September 2022.

Her background includes volunteering in a range of charity settings, where she built experience supporting people through traumatic and difficult periods. Andrea emphasizes ongoing personal and professional development and approaches each client without assuming expertise; she recognises that people are the authorities on their own experience and that therapy is a collaborative journey.

Andrea works flexibly to accommodate clients when her schedule fills quickly, and she encourages potential clients to reach out if available appointment times are limited. She aims to create a supportive space for exploring issues such as stress, anxiety, trauma, relationships, and life changes, tailoring the pace and focus to each person’s needs.

Therapeutic approaches and online options

Andrea integrates client-centred work with approaches that help clients clarify values and build psychological flexibility. Client-centred therapy focuses on warm, nonjudgmental listening and creating an accepting environment where clients explore their feelings and choices at their own pace - it is helpful for building self-esteem, processing emotions, and improving relationships. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) combines practical exercises with mindfulness-informed techniques to help people accept difficult thoughts and commit to actions that reflect their values - it is often used for anxiety, stress, and coping with life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns of closeness and trust, and it supports people working through abandonment, attachment issues, and relational difficulties.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work Andrea does with each client. She takes a collaborative stance, discussing goals, preferences, and practical needs to identify the best therapeutic fit and adjust the plan as therapy progresses.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility - clients can meet by video call, speak by phone, or communicate through live chat and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family, or geographical constraints and allow licensed professionals like Andrea to provide consistent, accessible support across different formats.
