Background and approach

Sessions aim to build confidence, improve coping skills and make daily life feel more manageable. Her approach combines client-centred conversations with practical techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy and deeper exploration through psychodynamic ideas. That mix allows for hands-on skills training alongside looking at patterns that may keep problems repeating.

Andrea has also worked with concerns such as panic attacks, postpartum depression, fertility and pregnancy-related stress, and the strains carers face. She can help people dealing with money worries, hoarding, emptiness and midlife transitions. Sessions are offered in English and take place online by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging.

Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a session that suits the client.

How Andrea’s approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and supporting each person to find their own answers. The therapist offers empathy and reflection to help people feel heard and to build confidence. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical steps to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour. It is useful for managing anxiety, panic and daily stress with tools you can use between sessions. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at recurring patterns and how past experiences influence current feelings. It can help when someone wants to understand deeper struggles that repeat over time.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work and happens together. Andrea will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. She adapts the blend of listening, practical skills and deeper reflection as the client’s needs become clearer.

Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier to join on the move. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief check-ins, mood tracking and people who prefer writing. These options offer flexibility and accessibility so therapy can work around work, childcare and other commitments.
