About Andrea
Andrea Kelliher uses an integrative approach that draws on attachment-informed work, client-centred listening and practical cognitive techniques. She aims to help people reduce stress and manage anxiety in everyday life. Andrea holds BACP accreditation and practises from the United Kingdom.
Andrea has three years of experience in counselling and has worked in both the NHS and personal settings. She previously provided face-to-face counselling at Talk Wandsworth and worked as a personal therapist at The Awareness Centre in Tooting, London.
How Andrea works
Her background includes an HN Access Diploma in Social Work. Sessions focus on building a trusting relationship and setting clear goals. Andrea helps people make sense of how past experiences affect day-to-day feelings and behaviour.
She uses a mixture of talking therapy styles to match your needs rather than following a single method. Practical steps are part of the work. That might mean testing small changes between sessions or learning thinking strategies that reduce worry.
Andrea also explores patterns in relationships and early attachment experiences when these are relevant to current difficulties. She supports individuals dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem and depression. Other areas she addresses include abandonment, attachment issues, body image, communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, isolation and questions about life purpose.
Andrea keeps sessions straightforward and honest. She encourages people to identify strengths and skills they already have. The aim is to help people move from feeling stuck to making steady, manageable changes.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches you can access online
Andrea often uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach helps when trust, closeness or repeated relationship problems are central to someone's distress.She also uses client-centred counselling which focuses on careful, non-judgemental listening and helping the person find their own answers. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify unhelpful thinking and try practical steps to reduce anxiety and low mood. Each method offers different tools for coping and understanding.
Finding the right mix is part of the work. Andrea will collaborate with the person to decide which approaches suit their goals, needs and preferences. That means checking in together about what helps and adjusting methods as therapy progresses.
Online therapy makes sessions more flexible. Video calls let you use visual cues and body language, phone sessions can fit into a short break or require less bandwidth, and live chat or text-based messaging suit brief check-ins or times when writing feels easier. These options allow continuity of care while fitting around work, family or mobility needs.
