About me
Hi, I’m Andrea. I offer counselling online and by telephone, creating a warm and supportive space wherever you are. My approach is always shaped around your unique needs, helping you explore your feelings safely and without judgment.
Life can feel overwhelming, and reaching out for help is often one of the hardest steps. Our sessions will give you a confidential, nurturing place to talk openly, feel understood, and begin to make sense of what’s happening for you.
You might be experiencing persistent anxiety, stress, or emotional exhaustion. Perhaps you’re withdrawing from people or activities you once enjoyed, feeling stuck in a difficult situation, or simply unsure what’s wrong but wanting to explore your feelings. Whatever you’re carrying, you don’t have to face it alone.
Together, we’ll work through your challenges at your pace, build resilience, and help you reconnect with your strength and joy. Taking that first step is courageous — and I’m here to support you as you begin your healing journey.

Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
