Andrea Witt , NCPS

Andrea Witt is a Cognitive Behavioural Therapist with eight years of experience who focuses on postnatal mental health, including anxiety, depression, intrusive thoughts, and postnatal OCD. She brings both professional training and personal insight to her work, having experienced postnatal anxiety after the birth of her daughter; that lived experience informs a compassionate, practical approach to care and recovery.

Andrea works with women at different stages after childbirth - from those with newborns to parents of toddlers and older children - and she also supports men who are adjusting to parenthood. Her clinical practice centres on a form of CBT called rational emotive behavioural therapy (REBT), which targets unhelpful thinking and promotes measurable change in mood and behaviour. While her therapy is goal-driven and focused on the here and now, she draws on additional training in other therapeutic methods and specific interventions for birth trauma to tailor treatment to each person’s needs.

Known for an open, warm, and nonjudgmental manner, she aims to create a space where clients feel heard and able to speak freely. She holds the NCPS credential, a professional qualification, and accepts clients in the United Kingdom as well as international clients via online appointments.

Therapeutic approaches used in online care

Andrea Witt commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours. CBT is structured and goal-focused, making it useful for anxiety, depression, intrusive thoughts, and postnatal concerns.

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which helps people clarify their values and build psychological flexibility by learning to accept difficult thoughts while committing to meaningful action. ACT can support coping with ongoing stress, parenting challenges, and life transitions.

In practice Andrea approaches treatment collaboratively, exploring which methods align best with each person’s needs, goals, and preferences. She works with clients to adapt techniques and pace so the chosen approach feels like a good fit rather than a one-size-fits-all solution.

Online therapy with Andrea is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, providing flexible options to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access regular support from licensed professionals without travel, helping clients maintain continuity of care while balancing parenting, work, and other commitments.
