Andreia Sousa Fortes uses a practical, person-centred approach to help people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and grief. She makes space for straightforward conversations and focuses on small, useful steps people can try between sessions. Andreia believes respect and sensitivity matter in every meeting.

She draws on a mix of approaches, including acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-aware work and cognitive behavioural techniques. That means sessions can include identifying thoughts and behaviours, noticing what matters most, and looking at relationship patterns that affect day-to-day life.

Background and approach

The aim is to help people build skills they can use outside the counselling room. Andreia has four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and holds NCPS credentials. She has supported people facing depression, addiction concerns, eating and sleeping difficulties, low self-esteem and big life changes.

She also addresses issues such as abandonment, attachment struggles, communication problems and the impact of past abuse. Sessions are offered in English and Portuguese and can be arranged as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Andreia tailors the way she works to each person’s needs and preferences.

She focuses on clear goals and practical tools that fit into everyday life. People who choose to work with her start with a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to her availability. The work is collaborative and paced to the client’s comfort and readiness to change.

How therapeutic approaches work in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It supports choosing actions that match personal values, which can help with anxiety, depression and navigating life changes.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current connections and emotional responses. It can be useful for people who struggle with abandonment, commitment or communication problems and want clearer relationship patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical options like video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face dialogue and screen-sharing for worksheets, while phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or when someone prefers writing over speaking. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life and to continue support even when schedules change.
