About me
Welcome to my profile! My name is Andrea, and I'm glad you are considering therapy to support you through this period of your life.
As a dedicated Person-Centered Counsellor and Hypnotherapist, I am passionate about guiding my clients on their journey to self-discovery and understanding. With extensive experience in therapy, I specialise in assisting individuals dealing with Anxiety, Depression, and in building Self-Esteem and Confidence. I also offer support to adults who have suffered from childhood sexual abuse and to children and young people who have experienced bereavement.
I provide a safe, non-judgmental space for exploration and growth. Through Person-Centered Counselling I help clients gain insights, develop coping strategies, and achieve positive behavioural changes. My approach is rooted in empathy and respect, ensuring that each client feels heard, valued, and understood.
What distinguishes my practice is my unwavering commitment to fostering a genuine and empathetic connection with my clients. I believe in the transformative power of a trusting therapeutic relationship and strive to create an environment where clients can explore their thoughts and feelings freely. Together, we work towards healing, empowerment, and lasting change.

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.
