In my experience As a integrative counsellor/ Psycotherapist/ Nurse / Reiki/meditation /teacher

As a experienced therapist I find a lot of people often come to therapy because they feel like something isn’t working in their lives ?

It could be their job,environment or relationships or something else that they are not often aware of ?

I know a lot of people when ask what was troubling them most ‘ there is usually a reply of something like :

-I AM NOT GOOD ENOUGH -

-I DON’T DESERVE SUCCESS-

-I DON’T DESERVE TO BE LOVED ??

-I DON’T DESERVE TO HAPPY - BECAUSE ???

WHY ? DO I ALWAYS SEEM To SABOTAGE THE GOOD STUFF??

I know that therapy can help you work through these difficulties and conflicts in order to come to a more happy and peaceful place within.

Therapy is ‘YOUR’ space where difficult feelings can be expressed more easily, not be judged but respected a place where you feel heard and acknowledge for who you really are.

I am really aware of how therapy can provide you with the time and space to work through understanding your own feelings about past / present /future ?
It’s often  ‘TRAPPED EMOTIONS from an earlier emotional experience that may have been to painful to released the emotions at the time of the trauma.

How ever  if not resolved or released this can in my experience can cause symptoms of physical and emotional pain or distress and is most likely to be experienced as ANXIETY or DEPRESSION or just causing you to feel OVERWHELMED or lack of interest in people or life in general.

Therapy can give you the time and space in order to create the correct environment for you to express your deepest feelings and difficulties and resolve the conflict on some level in order to help you move forward in your life.

If you feel I am the person to help you find your ‘true self’

warm regards

Andrea Killeen (July 2022)

I understand that sometimes our lives can feel stressful and challenging causing us to feel anxious, overwhelmed and hopeless.
I know because I have been there. That's why I'm confident that I can help you find a better way For you to be 'happy'.

It may feel as though your life is working against you, or you are struggling to make sense of where you are going, or what you are doing ‘wrong ‘or what you are supposed to be doing?

You may even question why you never seem to feel completely happy or are constantly striving for the next best thing, or maybe trying to find a person who can 'fix you ‘or who can really understand You for who you really are? or who you are 'longing to become'? or are you continuously searching for ‘someone’ to make you happy?

If you have ever asked yourself any of these questions, or you feel you have any of your own personal questions which you need help and support to find the answers to. I know I have the knowledge and experience To help you I know from experience by offering you a safe, secure and peaceful space with a genuine and non-judgmental approach and the time and space for you to explore your own sometimes difficult feelings and emotions that have been repressed often causing you difficulties in other areas of your life and may be causing you problems or difficulties in your relationships with others it can also cause family breakdown.It can also cause you to struggles at Home /work /school/ college/ university etc.Causing you to feel isolated and alone and eventually if the repressed sadness and emotions are not expressed they can seriously effect your physical health ( turning into chronic diseases causing cancer and many other debilitating illnesses and can start to affect your well-being?

The great news is that Coming to therapy can help change this and allow you to seek insights and strategies to change your life cleared the back log of old feelings and emotions and learn NEW coping strategies and help you to reach your goals and aspersions and encourages clients to reach their full  potential.

I’m confident I can assist you on that journey with a wealth of experience working with a variety of clients over the years I am confident we can turn this around and help you feel better about yourself and your situation.

I feel strongly that everyone is unique and has a variety of gifts and talents to bring to the world that often remains dormant. In my own experience and increasingly as a therapist, I am seeing, in many more clients (in regards to) that many people have never had anyone affirm them to help or encourage them to find their unique talents or show them how to develop their gifts to feel valued and help them to feel they have achieved something in life.
Many people don't believe they have the skills or confidence to bring these dreams or unique purpose to fruition.

I believe that I can help you on your journey towards finding your gifts and talents on the road to success by a variety of practical and Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy techniques to help you discover a new perspective, or at least new ways of looking at your situation and in turn hopefully find the answers to your own unique set of questions, by offering you the guiding and supportive relationship you may have been missing.

As a qualified professional counsellor and psychotherapist, I feel that I am a 'real down to earth', compassionate, person who has had a variety of different life experiences and adversities to draw from both in my own personal life having come from a family of fourteen children and in my former career as a Nurse, Teacher, Single Mother ,  writer and now as an established therapist. Having worked in a variety of clinical and therapeutic settings both here in the UK and the U.S.A.

I am experienced in working with adults, couples families and young people (11-18). I am also experienced in working with young children (5-10) who may be suffering from emotional issues (specialising in children with learning difficulties (as a diagnosed dyslexic myself).

I feel I have a deeper insight and understanding of Dyslexia, A.D.H.D and Autism. I am happy to work with anyone who may be suffering from any form of disabilities with particular reference to its effect on the family.


I am passionate about working with families I can offer Practical Parenting strategies - from a professional and a holistic approach (and from my own experiences of raising a daughter with autism and dyslexia and being a single Parent of two children) I can offer my support to try and encourage working together, accepting difference and diversity in an attempt to try to create more understanding and hopefully help achieve increased happiness and harmony.

I hold an enhanced D/CRB Clearance and I am fully insured.
I also specialized in areas such as Stress, low self-esteem, Anxiety, Depression, Anxiety disorders, Self-harm, Emotional, physical, sexual abuse, Substance abuse, Relationship, gender or Identity issues, Domestic Violence, Panic disorders, postnatal depression.

I am happy to work with any disability mental or physical and Chronic Illness ( having been a Registered Nurse for 20 years working with many different  patients suffering from a variety of illnesses  life changing diseases and in
My own experience if  you don’t address the underlying issues with therapy treatment then it’s highly likely it will get worse!!

I having had chronic illnesses and cured it holistically especially since having had a personal experience of skin cancer and Breast cancer myself in the past.

Im aware how ‘trapped emotions’

can cause many more disorders

Other areas of counselling I deal with

I thought I would share with you some recent

"Initially I was worried about going to see a therapist, I'd been suffering for over 10 years and was at my lowest point when I decided enough was enough and things needed change.

The sessions with Andrea are very relaxing, we have a brew and I always come away feeling empowered, back in control and ready to face the world again.
Andrea is really easy to talk to. We discuss strategies to approach situations differently which has helped me change my perspective on the challenges I'm facing to help me overcome them.

I have only been having sessions with Andrea for a couple of months but have already witnessed significant changes."

Male client 25years (Feb -august 2021)

testimonials from some of my clients.

SEPTEMBER 2018/2020

Family Therapy:mum & Daughter

My daughter and I have been coming to Andrea for a year now. In the passed my daughter has received counselling but to very little affect? I felt she was getting deeper with her negative thoughts,that they were going to consume her. I felt hopeless so in the end after looking through therapists web pages, together we found Andrea,I'm so glad that we did! As since coming to Andrea my daughter has worked through alot of her internalising negative thoughts and behaviours.Her anxiety with her body image and her relationship with food has changed in such a positive way. Which has given her more confidence and it shows. As a parent and a mother, my bond with my only daughter has grown strong where we are open and are able to talk about her worries and mine together. Andrea has not only helped my daughter realise her potential but mine too. I would not hesitate to recommend Andrea as she's caring, understanding and a really interesting person.

Mum and daughter (age 15 yrs)

Personal Therapy: JUNE 2018 (-19

25-YEAR-OLD MALE)

When I first started counselling I had a typical mans outlook on it."I WAS WEAK, Men are supposed to be strong and there must be something wrong with me" It wasn't until a few sessions in, when the anxiety and the fear of the unknown had disappeared, that I knew I had found an absolutely brilliant Therapist!

I started therapy as a nervous, anxious young man. Uncertain of my future, avoiding any type of relationship with a partner, slightly socially awkward and very reluctant to say/get what I wanted in all scenarios of life!

I leave Andrea so much stronger happier and more confident the evidence being that since I first met Andrea I found exactly what I wanted to do in life, found a partner, Learned how to love myself, took on a more positive outlook on life and have become a more happy person all round.

Andrea is down to earth, so easy to talk to non-judgmental. She understands and connects with you on a whole other level, that makes you feel so relaxed and calm. I can't Thank Andrea enough and I really hope that this encourages other people, especially young Men to know that of its" ok not to be ok" and that Mental Health is a Real thing, affecting  lots of  people increasingly more and more  young men from all walks life, and the best way to tackle it is to open up about everything with someone like Andrea you will not regret it !!

(25-year-old Male)

Personal Therapy : August 2017

"Meeting Andrea was a huge blessing to me at a very difficult time in my life. Her warm, common sense, a non-judgemental approach meant that I felt able to talk openly about some very personal issues with acceptance. Andrea's skillful counselling helped me to get a sense of understanding and perspective and move past problems into a much happier place. I will always be grateful to Andrea for the great work she does and would recommend her to anyone who needs to make sense of issues in their lives. " (female 45)

Family & Personal Therapy : July 2017

"I took my son to see Andrea earlier this year, to see if she could help him with his O.C.D and anxiety. Having spent a few months seeing Andrea, I am glad to say he's turned a corner and is now back on track with his life. Andrea comes highly recommended through the results and the kind-hearted approach she gave to our son." (Dad of a 17-year-old male client)

Personal Therapy: June 2017

"I am a young adult male who has been in and out of therapy for many years as I have a personality disorder. I had almost given up on therapy due to struggling to find someone I felt understood me properly and actually cared. I contacted Andrea on a whim and its the best thing I could have done. I can safely say her friendly, caring and patient approach to therapy is second to none. Andrea has helped me turn my life around in ways I had given up on. I am currently the most stable I have been for a long time and my whole outlook is generally just much more positive....Thank you, Andrea, for all your continued support and help! "

"To anyone reading this who is doubting whether to give therapy a second chance or considering therapy for the first time, I would definitely recommend Andrea!! Finally, I would say don't give up keep fighting and stay strong. Andrea taught me that we all have ups and downs but we can push through the other side stronger"

Personal Therapy: Sept 2016
''I have attended counselling sessions with Andrea for over a year. She has been thoroughly professional and compassionate throughout. With her help, I have regained my self-confidence and self-esteem which was at an all-time low. She has helped me to identify with myself again and given me coping strategies to deal with issues that have, and still do, affect me. I have found the sessions invaluable. I would have no hesitation to recommend her services.''


Family Therapy: August 2016.


''Andrea has helped both myself and my son immensely. Coming from a background of both going thru domestic violence/abuse, Andrea has helped build and strengthen the relationship between myself and my son after awful trauma and to build our confidence self-esteem and belief in ourselves that we can achieve our goals and move onto to a positive bright future. She has motivated me in such positive ways and helped me achieve things I couldn't imagine ever doing at the start to a point where I have had the confidence and trust in myself to make life-changing decisions to move my life to a better place where I should be to benefit all my family. Andrea instills positivity and direction in me and has helped me immensely through my journey recovering from domestic abuse and P.T.S.D. I cannot recommend Andrea's services highly enough. She is currently working closely with my son again now to help with his A.D.H.D/ autistic spectrum issues, helping to encourage creativity empowering him and his ability to achieve and boosting his confidence in the school holidays and I can't wait for the results of this to show to his school when he returns back in Sept.''


Personal Therapy: Jan 2017


''I booked in with Andrea as two very traumatic things had happened to me at the same time on top of me just about managing the grief of losing a parent I decided to listen to my inner voice and I decided it was time to talk to someone. I went off people's profile particularly profile pictures, to be honest, I like an honest face and someone I feel I can relate to as a person. I have undertaken to counsel with Andrea for several weeks and will be having top ups once a month, this has been very helpful and encouraged me to listen to my inner voice and enabled me to embrace some much-needed self-care. Andrea is a spiritual person as am I so this was an added bonus for me and brought something extra special to the sessions.''
