How Andrea works
Her work often covers trauma and abuse, intimacy-related difficulties, and eating or body image concerns. Andrea also offers help around attachment, abandonment and blended family strain. She addresses problems linked to addiction, domestic violence and caregiver stress when these are part of a person’s story.
Andrea blends several approaches in short, practical sessions. She uses client-centred listening to understand a person’s priorities. She brings cognitive-behavioural techniques to manage thoughts and behaviours, and psychodynamic ideas to look at deeper patterns.
Sessions are tailored to each person’s needs and pace. Andrea aims to make the process collaborative, focusing on small steps that bring relief. People who want straightforward, empathic support for pressing life problems may find her style helpful.

Online support options
Approaches that fit online therapy
Andrea often uses client-centred work to start sessions, which means she listens closely and follows the person’s priorities rather than imposing a plan. This approach helps clarify what matters most and shapes the focus of subsequent sessions.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which offers clear techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. CBT is useful for anxiety, low mood and stress because it provides practical steps people can try between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and the therapist will work collaboratively to decide what fits best. She will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust the plan based on what helps most for that person’s needs and preferences.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that is helpful. Phone sessions suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who have limited bandwidth. Live chat and messaging can be useful for brief check-ins, flexible scheduling and ongoing support between longer sessions.
These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or travel and to choose the format that feels most comfortable while working on the issues that matter.
