Andrea Croston

Andrea also works with concerns around relationships, intimacy, parenting and career strain. She approaches each person with respect and listens closely to what matters to them.

Andrea trained over many years and completed a Level 4 qualification in counselling and psychotherapy in September 2022. She also holds BACP accreditation, which is listed in her credentials.

Before qualifying she spent two decades volunteering in charity settings and gaining hands-on experience by listening and supporting people through difficult times. Her practice is rooted in a person-centred way of working.

That means sessions focus on the client’s experience, priorities and pace rather than relying on a single formula. She blends this foundation with techniques from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy when they suit a person’s goals.

Andrea also uses Attachment-Based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current patterns. The Gottman Method informs her approach to relationship-focused work.

Sessions aim to be straightforward and practical, helping people learn small skills they can use between meetings. She speaks English and offers online sessions to people in the United Kingdom and internationally.

Andrea describes herself as continually learning and adapting her practice, and she approaches each person as the expert on their own life.
