Corinna Andrews, BACP

Corinna Andrews is a person-centred counsellor and a registered member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy). She offers a warm, compassionate space where people can explore their thoughts, feelings and behaviours at a pace that suits them, working collaboratively to identify what is contributing to current difficulties.

She recognises how daunting it can be to reach out for support and makes time to listen with respect, aiming to build a trusting therapeutic relationship. Her approach is aimed at supporting and empowering clients so they can better understand their experiences and make meaningful changes.

Corinna brings three years of counselling experience alongside broader NHS service experience that spans 19 years, including 12 years in mental health roles in support and administration. She currently practises as a counsellor in a GP surgery and has supported clients on placement with the charity Mind. Her background also includes work as a Young Persons Mentor with a local authority. Throughout her practice she has supported people with concerns such as depression, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse.

Committed to ongoing professional development, Corinna has recently completed a qualification in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to complement her person-centred training, and she also has a particular focus on supporting people who are hearing impaired.

Client-Centred and CBT Approaches for Online Sessions

Corinna Andrews offers both client-centred therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) in her practice. Client-centred therapy focuses on creating an empathic, non-judgemental space where the client’s own insights and values guide the pace and direction of therapy - it can be helpful for exploring self-esteem, grief, and relationship concerns. CBT is a more structured approach that looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and offers practical strategies to manage symptoms of anxiety, depression and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Corinna works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best match their needs, goals and preferences, and she adapts her use of client-centred and CBT techniques as therapy progresses so the plan fits the individual.

Online therapy with Corinna can take place by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, giving flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to access registered professionals from home or work, accommodate hearing needs, and choose the format that feels most comfortable for each session.
