Andrea Sprio has practised as a counsellor in the United Kingdom for ten years. She holds BACP and NCPS credentials and offers a calm, respectful approach. Andrea focuses on creating a space where people feel seen and heard before any plan is made.

She helps with relationship strain, family difficulties and parenting concerns. She also supports people dealing with anxiety, stress, addiction and mood difficulties. Other areas Andrea addresses include grief, trauma, eating and sleeping problems, and self-esteem struggles.

Background and approach

Andrea adapts her way of working to each person. Sessions are guided by what the client needs - sometimes gentle exploration, sometimes practical steps. She draws on client-centred listening to help people feel understood and clearer about their next moves.

Her practice also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early bonds affect current relationships. Narrative techniques are used to reframe difficult stories so people can choose different paths. These approaches are explained and tried only if they fit the person in front of her.

Andrea aims for straightforward conversations and manageable tasks between sessions. She encourages small experiments that can change routines and relationships over time. This practical focus helps people move from feeling stuck to feeling more capable.

If someone wants to start, the process begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling. Sessions are offered online in several formats so people can choose what suits their life and rhythm.

Approaches that guide online therapy

Andrea uses client-centred therapy to prioritise the person's own goals. That means sessions start with listening and reflecting so the person shapes the pace and focus. This approach helps when someone needs space to be heard and to find their own answers.

She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationship patterns affect current bonds. These ideas can help with trust, intimacy and repeated conflicts by making linkages clearer and more manageable. Narrative therapy is used to separate a person from the problem and to reframe unhelpful stories, which can be useful for issues like shame, identity and past trauma.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and jointly decide what fits the person's needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process can change over time as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can work well during a short break. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or times when typing feels easier. These formats give flexibility so therapy can fit around work, childcare and daily routines.
