About me
I work relationally to help clients understand how past experiences and relationships might be impacting current difficulties. Therapy can help make changes to these often hard-wired patterns and facilitate the development of more healthy fulfilling relationships.
By building a relationship based upon trust, empathy and acceptance therapy enables a greater awareness and understanding of how and where difficulties have arisen and provides the conditions for change to occur.

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
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.

Further information
What clients say about working with Andrea.
"I have visited numerous counsellors over the past eight years in the attempt to alleviate the symptoms of my often overwhelming depression and anxiety. Andrea is the only one, I feel, who has been able to truly make a difference to the way I look at things. Her patience, calming, caring but professional manner and determination to help create a long-term change in my mental health really has impacted me in the most positive of ways. I am now able to view the world and situations with a new found awareness and apply this to any hurdles that I may come across."
— Harriet 2017
“I cannot recommend Andrea enough, I feel her style, method and personability will suit anyone who is looking to take the route of counselling."
— Emma 2017
"By the time Andrea saw me, I’d been a patient of several other therapists over the years, each at different stages in my life. Some were good, others not quite so competent, but I can say without a shadow of a doubt that Andrea was and is right up there with the very best. It became clear from the start that Andrea genuinely cared about her clients, and always seemed to be able to find a way in which to put into words what I was feeling and going through, even if that was something I was finding challenging myself.
Honestly, I could write pages and pages about how Andrea has changed my life for the better and has, quite literally, helped me survive through a trauma that no one should ever have to go through, but to sum up I’ll just say this: if you’re looking for a therapist who is knowledgeable, intelligent, insightful, caring and one of the best in her field, look no further than Andrea. She will, as the old adage goes, help you to help yourself and really will change your life for the better."
