Background and approach

She emphasizes collaboration and listens for what matters to each person. In sessions she draws from Client-Centered Therapy to follow the client’s lead, from Motivational Interviewing to help find reasons to change, and from Solution-Focused Therapy to set clear, short-term goals. Her focus includes parenting challenges, relationship difficulties, self-esteem struggles, and coping with transitions like divorce, fertility challenges, or workplace stress.

Andrea also addresses attachment concerns, caregiver stress, communication problems, control issues, pregnancy and childbirth topics, veterans and armed forces issues, and money or isolation worries. She tailors her methods to each situation rather than offering one fixed plan. Sessions are offered in English and conducted online through video, phone, live chat, or text messaging.

Andrea works with people who want practical steps and honest feedback. She asks questions, reflects what she hears, and helps create small, achievable plans for change. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on therapist availability.

Andrea describes her role as supportive and direct, aiming to help clients regain balance and move forward.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person without judgment. The therapist follows the client's lead, which helps clarify feelings about parenting, relationships, or major life changes.

Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons to make changes. It uses gentle questions and reflection to build motivation for steps like improving communication or managing stress.

Andrea will work with clients to decide which approach or combination is the best fit. She takes a collaborative stance, asking about goals and preferences, and adjusting methods as needs become clearer.

Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy family routines. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions offer flexibility, and live chat or text-based messaging suit quick check-ins or people who prefer written communication. These options help people maintain continuity of care while juggling work, parenting, and life transitions.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.

Solution-Focused Therapy

Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
