I am primary a Person Centred Counsellor as I feel this is a solid foundation to work from. I believe in a holistic approach with my clients as this tends to work better.
I started my journey over 20 years ago. In September 2022 I graduated and was awarded Level 4 in counselling and Psychotherapy. Within these 20 years I have volunteered in many charity settings and gained immense knowledge by way of listening to my clients and supporting them through traumatic times.
I do not assume I am an expert in any field , I feel the client is the expert as one knows what hurts. I am just here to support my client on their journey.

A phenomenal therapist, she’s helped me so very much and I couldn’t be anymore grateful, she understood everything going on and helped me through it all. Andrea has been 10/10 constantly.
