Corinna Andrews, BACP

Corinna Andrews is a qualified person-centred counsellor and a registered member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy), the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom. She offers a warm, compassionate space where people can work collaboratively to explore thoughts, feelings and behaviours at a pace that suits them.

Corinna recognises how daunting it can be to seek support and to put difficult thoughts and emotions into words. She listens with respect and works to build a trusting therapeutic relationship, allowing each person to move forward at their own speed. Her person-centred style aims to support and empower people to understand the factors contributing to their current difficulties.

Corinna has worked for the NHS for 19 years, with the last 12 years spent in mental health roles across support and administration. She currently practises as a counsellor in a GP surgery and has also worked as a placement counsellor for the charity Mind. Earlier in her career she worked as a Young Persons Mentor with a local authority. In these roles she has supported people experiencing depression, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse.

Committed to ongoing professional development, Corinna has recently completed a qualification in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to extend her skills. She also has an additional focus on supporting people who are hearing impaired.

Person-Centred and CBT Approaches for Online Support

Corinna uses person-centred therapy to create a respectful, non-judgemental space where the client’s own goals and experiences guide the work. This approach focuses on empathy, acceptance and helping people find their own solutions, and it can be helpful for issues such as low self-esteem, grief and relationship concerns.

She also applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a structured approach that helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns and develop practical strategies to manage them. CBT can be useful for addressing anxiety, depression and stress by teaching skills to reframe thinking and change behaviour.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Corinna works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals and preferences. She tailors sessions and techniques as therapy progresses to ensure the approach remains helpful.

Online therapy with Corinna is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, providing flexibility around work, mobility or caring commitments. These options make it easier to access regular support from licensed professionals without the need to travel, and they allow sessions to fit into a range of everyday routines.
