About Me
Hi, I’m Andrea and I’m so glad you’re here
I’m a qualified Counsellor with a Post Graduate Degree in Integrative Counselling and Coaching, registered with the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP), member no. 00993445. I work in a completely confidential and ethical way, complying with the BACP’s ethical framework. I am also completing advanced specialist training in Relationship Counselling for young couples, established partnerships and polycules, enabling me to offer affordable relationship counselling for those seeking support at different stages of life.
I’m an integrative counsellor which means I draw from different therapeutic approaches to meet you where you are. While I use a variety of perspectives, my work leans toward:
Person-Centred Therapy– based on the belief that you already have the inner wisdom and resources to facilitate growth and healing,
Psychodynamic -exploring how your past experiences may shape your present,
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) – helping you to accept difficult emotions, focus on the present, and take actions aligned with your values,
Transactional Analysis– exploring how interactions (or “transactions”) shape our thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. It focuses on understanding the roles of our inner Parent, Adult, and Child states.
I approach these methods in a way that is intentional, thoughtful, and non-prescriptive.
How I work
This is a space for everyone..
of every identity, orientation, background and belief. You are seen, respected and welcome. I am also deeply passionate about working in an intersectional and socially aware way to support those from marginalised communities, including racialised, Neurodivergent and LGBTQ+ individuals in ways that honour the complexities of identity and experience, whose voices are often underrepresented or misheard in traditional spaces. In our work together, your story, your culture, and your perspective are central, whether you’re navigating systemic oppression, exploring your identity, working through relationship challenges, or simply searching for a place to feel seen and safe.
At the heart of my practice is the belief that healing happens through connection—connection to others, connection to yourself, and connection to your values. Whether we’re exploring the inner world of one person or the dynamic between partners, our work will centre on deepening understanding, untangling the challenges you’re facing, and uncovering patterns that no longer serve you.
You deserve a counselling space where you can show up as your whole self, without masks or pretences. Whether you’re seeking more peace and clarity in your own life, or hoping to strengthen and heal your relationship, my goal is to walk alongside you with empathy and care, supporting you to embrace change and live more authentically, on your own terms, or together.
When you’re ready, I’m here. Contact me and let’s take this next step together.
