I work with adults and young people experiencing anxiety, low mood, stress, or relationship difficulties who feel overwhelmed or stuck. You may find yourself overthinking, doubting yourself, or struggling to cope in the way you used to. For some, these difficulties are linked to past experiences, including trauma or emotional neglect, which can affect identity, self-worth, or how safe life feels. I also support those experiencing trauma, dissociation or parts of self that feel confusing or hard to understand. Together, we gently make sense of what’s happening and find a way forward at your pace.

Trauma‑Informed Counsellor Supporting Adults with Anxiety, Grief & ADHD I'm based in South Northamptonshire and also work in the Milton Keynes area. I support young adults and adults who are navigating anxiety, low self‑esteem, confidence issues, depression, grief, and the impact of trauma. Many of the people I work with describe feeling overwhelmed, stuck in old patterns, or exhausted from trying to cope alone — and they’re looking for a space where they feel heard, understood, and supported.

As a CBT therapist I work well with any depression or anxiety based disorders including low self esteem, generalised anxiety, OCD, PTSD, Health anxiety, social anxiety, Phobias and panic disorder. People are often bothered by highly distressing symptoms and have a clear idea about what they would like to get from therapy which is usually a reduction of symptoms and getting life back on track. People often seek clarity and an explanation for their distress followed by solutions of how to deal with them. My specialist area of interests are trauma, GAD, co-morbid long term health conditions and adolescents.

Hi, I’m Andrea. Many people contact me when anxiety or depression start to take over — constant worry, overthinking, feeling on edge, struggling to switch off, or feeling overwhelmed by everyday life. When joy fades and everything feels like “too much,” it can be hard to know where to turn. Your experiences matter and I hold space for all of it — but therapy doesn’t have to feel heavy the whole way through. It can also be a genuinely good experience, a steady, supportive place to feel lighter, clearer and more yourself again. I aim to offer a calm, down‑to‑earth space where you can breathe, feel understood and find your way.

FAQ - About Therapy for Seniors
Is one ever too old for mental health therapy?
Individuals of all ages can benefit from mental health therapy. Indeed, older adults in particular may benefit from the social and psychological support a therapist can provide; the topics that older adults address in therapy may simply differ from those of younger clients. Seniors should seek out a therapist who has experience working with older individuals and who is well-versed in addressing common concerns among elderly individuals, such as depression, anxiety, loneliness, and physical mobility challenges.

How is counselling for elderly different from counselling for other age groups?
In general, counselling offers an opportunity for clients to process difficult life events and develop coping skills they can use outside of the therapy session. Therapists who specialise in working with elderly clients generally have the same framework but may place a special emphasis on specific topics, such as caregiver relationships and reducing loneliness. They may be specially equipped to deal with certain physical conditions or facilitate discussion surrounding end-of-life topics. Counselling for the elderly may also place a greater emphasis on social work-type topics to ensure that geriatric clients have access to necessary resources, such as food, a safe home environment, and healthcare.

How can therapy improve the quality of life of aging individuals?
Therapy for aging adults can greatly improve quality of life by providing an opportunity for them to process difficult emotions related to end-of-life, navigate relational or caregiver challenges, and develop coping skills for common mental health conditions, like anxiety or depression. Subsequent reductions in negative emotions and mental health disorder symptoms can make day-to-day living much more manageable for aging adults and those that care for them. The ongoing relationship with a trusted therapist can also help seniors combat loneliness and provide a sense of structure for their routine.

What are the qualities to look for in therapists who see seniors?
Seniors counsellors, like mental health counselors in general, should be kind, empathetic, skilled at listening, and knowledgeable about their particular area of expertise. Counsellors specialising in working with the senior population should be very familiar with the aging process in general and the common conditions that the elderly can face, such as dementia, depression, loneliness, and/or physical illness. Many senior counsellors are also well-equipped to help caregivers and families navigate the aging process of their loved ones, and they may draw on Interpersonal Therapy to help facilitate improved interactions between seniors and those that care for them.
