Andrea Witt, NCPS

Andrea Witt is a United Kingdom based therapist with NCPS, a professional credential, and eight years of clinical experience. She specialises in postnatal mental health after her own experience of postnatal anxiety, which informs a compassionate, informed approach to working with parents. Andrea supports people navigating postnatal anxiety, depression, intrusive thoughts and obsessive compulsive patterns, and she also works with men facing challenges around becoming a parent.

Trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Andrea practices a form of rational emotive behavioural therapy (REBT) that targets unhelpful thinking and focuses on practical, goal-driven change in the here and now. She combines this focused CBT work with elements from other therapeutic trainings and specific approaches to birth trauma to address the full picture of a client’s experience. Andrea aims to create an open, warm and non-judgemental space where people feel heard and able to explore difficult emotions. She works with parents at different stages - from new borns to toddlers and older children - and offers support tailored to each person’s situation and goals.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Andrea integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy alongside client-centered principles to offer practical and compassionate online support. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours - it is often used for anxiety, intrusive thoughts and obsessive patterns. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages people to clarify their values and build psychological flexibility so they can act in ways that matter to them even when difficult feelings arise. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes warm, non-judgemental listening and helps people feel understood as they explore their concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Andrea works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, adapting the work as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps tailor sessions to the individual rather than applying a one size fits all model.

Online therapy with Andrea uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These options make it easier to fit sessions around parenting demands, work schedules and geographical limitations, while still working with registered professionals and therapists who can guide practical strategies and emotional support.
