Andrea Stott , BACP

Andrea Stott is a therapist who works primarily with adults who are dealing with complex trauma, addiction, and difficulties that stem from a challenging childhood. She also supports people experiencing relationship problems and complex grief or loss, drawing on specialist training to address layered emotional and behavioural concerns.

Andrea is a member of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and practices in line with their code of practice and ethical framework. Her background combines academic study and focused vocational training to inform a grounded, trauma-aware approach to therapy.

Her qualifications include Advanced Psychotherapy Level 5, PTSD Level 5, Grief and Loss Level 4, Therapeutic Practitioner in Mental Health Level 4, and PsyTap training in trauma removal. She holds a BSc (Hons 2:1) in Health and an MSc in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, the latter being a postgraduate degree focused on CBT methods. These credentials underpin her work with people facing addiction, trauma, grief, relationship strain, and related mental health challenges.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Andrea integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) into her practice. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns, useful for anxiety, depression, and many trauma-related symptoms. ACT emphasizes accepting difficult internal experiences while clarifying personal values and committing to meaningful action, which can help with avoidance, shame, and motivation.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Andrea collaborates with each person to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time so the work remains relevant and practical.

Online therapy with Andrea is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, reduce travel time, and allow people to engage from familiar surroundings while working with a licensed professional who tailors the approach to their situation.
