Background and approach

Her work draws on Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which she blends to match each person. That means she gives space for people to tell their story, while also introducing simple experiments and techniques to reduce anxiety and low mood. Andrea has ten years of professional experience working with a wide range of concerns.

She uses plain language and keeps sessions straightforward so people can use what they discuss right away. The emphasis is on realistic steps and gradual progress rather than quick fixes. People who come to her often want help with panic attacks, social anxiety, self-esteem and intimacy issues.

She also supports clients through divorce, guilt and midlife questions. Sessions are offered in English and take place online by video, phone, chat or messaging.

How Andrea uses talking therapies online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person in front of the counsellor. It gives people space to tell their story and be heard without judgement. This approach helps with grief, relationship worries and low self-esteem by encouraging self-understanding and acceptance.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviours keep problems going. It uses clear, practical exercises to reduce anxiety and panic and to lift mood. Sessions often include small experiments and steps to try between meetings to build new habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Andrea will talk with each person about their needs and preferences and agree a plan together. That collaborative process guides whether sessions lean more towards listening and reflection or structured CBT techniques.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls are useful for a fuller conversational experience, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer text. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family commitments and daily routines, while still getting consistent professional support.
