Andrea Witt , NCPS

Andrea Witt is a Cognitive Behavioural Therapist who brings focused expertise in postnatal mental health alongside broad experience across many areas of mental wellbeing. She specialises in helping women navigate postnatal anxiety, depression, intrusive thoughts and obsessive-compulsive patterns, drawing on personal experience of postnatal anxiety following the birth of her daughter to inform a compassionate, practical practice.

Andrea works with parents at different stages after childbirth, including those with newborns, toddlers and older children, and also supports men who are adjusting to parenthood. Her clinical work is informed by a form of CBT known as rational emotive behavioural therapy (REBT), which aims to identify and address unhelpful thinking patterns in a goal-oriented, present-focused way. Alongside REBT, she integrates training from other therapeutic approaches and specific techniques for birth trauma when appropriate.

Her manner is open, warm and nonjudgmental, creating a space where clients can speak freely and feel genuinely heard. Andrea holds the NCPS credential, a recognised professional qualification, and she frames therapy as collaborative work aimed at practical change and emotional relief.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Andrea Witt draws on several evidence-based approaches to tailor treatment to each person's needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, helping clients reduce anxiety, manage mood, and develop practical coping skills. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to clarify personal values and take committed action while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings, which can be helpful for stress, grief and life transitions. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and acceptance techniques that reduce emotional reactivity and improve emotional regulation.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Andrea Witt works collaboratively with clients to explore what feels most helpful based on their goals, preferences and life circumstances, adapting methods over time to find the best fit. This collaborative stance aims to empower clients and support meaningful change.

Online therapy with Andrea makes it easier to access consistent care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. These options offer flexibility for busy schedules, allow parents and people in different locations to participate, and support continuity of care when in-person visits are impractical. Andrea and other licensed professionals use these formats to provide focused, goal-oriented work that fits into everyday life.
