About Andrea
Andrea Daniel offers calm, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, addiction or low mood. She keeps sessions straightforward and focused on what matters most to each person. Andrea is an ACA counsellor with three years' experience helping people make sense of difficult feelings and start to feel more in control.
Her style is down-to-earth and collaborative. She listens first, then helps clients name patterns that keep them stuck.
How Andrea works
Some sessions include practical strategies to manage symptoms. Other times the work is about understanding how past events shape current reactions. Andrea uses a mix of approaches tailored to each person.
She draws on client-centred therapy to follow the client's lead and build a trusting space. Cognitive behavioural ideas are used to spot unhelpful thinking and test new behaviours. For relationship concerns she integrates elements of the Gottman Method to improve communication and reduce conflict.
Motivational interviewing helps when people are thinking about changing substance use or other habits. Sessions may also focus on small, achievable goals using solution-focused methods. Andrea aims to keep progress realistic and measurable so people notice change between sessions.
She works in English and practises in Australia.

How Andrea’s approaches work in online therapy
Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s lead, creating space to speak and be heard without judgement. It helps people who need acceptance and a steady relationship to explore difficult feelings. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact; it helps people learn practical tools to reduce anxiety and change unhelpful habits. The Gottman Method offers concrete ways to improve communication and reduce conflict, which can be useful for people wanting clearer interactions and fewer repeated arguments.Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. Andrea will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust the plan over time. She aims to balance practical strategies with time to process emotions so the work feels useful and achievable.
Online sessions give options that fit different lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues are helpful. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Live chat and text-based messaging support shorter check-ins, written reflection, or contact between longer sessions. These formats help people fit therapy around work, study and family commitments while keeping focus on progress and practical change.
