About Andrea

Andrea Croston works from a person-centred foundation, using a compassionate, non-judgemental stance as the basis for therapy. She favours a holistic approach that attends to the wider context of a person's life rather than focusing only on isolated symptoms, helping clients explore what matters most to them.

In September 2022 Andrea was awarded a Level 4 qualification in counselling and psychotherapy, and she has built practical experience through volunteering in a variety of charity settings. That voluntary work has informed her practice and deepened her skills in listening and supporting people through traumatic and difficult periods.

Andrea commits to ongoing professional and personal development and views that work as central to being the best practitioner she can be. She does not position herself as the expert on a client's inner experience; instead she treats clients as the experts on what hurts and offers supportive collaboration to help them move forward.

Andrea is a member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy). She aims to be flexible with scheduling and will often accommodate clients if her calendar is full, so prospective clients are encouraged to get in touch if they do not immediately see a suitable appointment.

Approaches, Collaboration, and Online Care

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, empathetic space where the client leads the pace and content of sessions. This approach supports self-exploration and is often helpful for issues such as low self-esteem, relationship concerns, and adjusting to life changes.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and learn practical skills to live in ways that matter to them, even in the presence of difficult thoughts or feelings. ACT can be useful for stress, anxiety, and coping with persistent emotional challenges.

Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns in relationships and emotional regulation, offering a pathway for people working with trauma, abandonment, or attachment-related difficulties.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Andrea works collaboratively with each client to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they can adapt techniques over time so the work remains relevant and practical.

Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for people balancing work, family, or mobility needs. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, schedule sessions around busy lives, and access licensed professionals and therapists from different locations.
