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 UK professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists. She offers a warm, compassionate approach that aims to support people as they explore their thoughts, feelings and behaviours at a pace that suits them.

Corinna understands how daunting it can be to reach out for help and talk about difficult experiences. She prioritises respectful listening and the development of a trusting therapeutic relationship, working collaboratively to identify what may be contributing to current difficulties. Her person-centred style is intended to empower clients to find clarity and build resilience.

Her background includes extensive service in the NHS, working for 19 years with the last 12 years focused in mental health roles across support and administration. She currently practises as a counsellor in a GP surgery and has served as a placement counsellor for the charity Mind. Earlier in her career she worked as a Young Persons Mentor with a local authority, and in those roles she 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 Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to broaden her clinical skills. She works using client-centred principles alongside CBT techniques and has additional focus on supporting people who are hearing impaired. Corinna provides therapy in English and works from the perspective of offering empathetic, practical support for stress, anxiety, self-esteem, depression, trauma and grief.
