About Andrea

Andrea Sprio is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom. She holds BACP and NCPS credentials and brings ten years of experience supporting people through difficult periods. Andrea focuses on practical, respectful conversation that helps people clarify their aims and make manageable change.

Her work often centres on relationship, family and parenting concerns. She also helps with stress, anxiety, addictions, grief and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. Andrea supports people facing mood disorders, ADHD concerns, eating and sleeping problems, and trauma-related difficulties.

Andrea adapts how she talks and plans work to each person. Sessions are shaped around what matters most to the client rather than a rigid formula. Expectations are set together and goals are reviewed as progress unfolds.

Her approach draws on client-centred listening, attachment ideas and narrative techniques. That means she pays attention to how relationships affect present struggles and to the stories people tell about themselves. Practical steps and small experiments are used alongside reflective conversation.

People come for very different reasons, from blended family challenges and fatherhood questions to chronic illness, body image or social anxiety. Andrea aims to create a steady, respectful space where clients can name their priorities and work toward clearer next steps.

How Andrea’s approaches work for online therapy

Andrea draws on attachment-based and client-centred work as well as narrative therapy. Attachment-based work looks at how early and current relationships shape feelings and reactions, which can help with family, parenting and intimacy issues. Client-centred therapy focuses on careful listening and reflecting what matters to the person, useful when someone needs space to make sense of stress or depression. Narrative therapy helps people separate themselves from unhelpful stories they tell about their lives and try out different ways of seeing a problem.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Andrea will collaborate with each client to decide which ideas to use, guided by the person’s goals and preferences rather than sticking to a single model. That shared planning helps keep sessions relevant and practical.

Practical benefits of online work often include fitting sessions into busy days, keeping check-ins brief when needed, and reducing travel time. The exact session formats should be confirmed before booking, as they are not specified here. Many people find remote sessions help them maintain continuity of care and make it simpler to build regular therapeutic work into everyday life.
