Andrea’s been my therapist for the last couple of years and I’m very lucky to have found her. She’s calm, we can have a laugh and she’s helping me understand myself. She remembers good details, is super reliable, non judgemental and direct. Can’t recommend enough!

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions. Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Mar 2024

There are no words that can easily describe how thankful I am for Andrea to be my therapist. I struggled with difficult time in my life where many things suddenly changed and I had to rebuild my personal life basically from scratch. Her patience and wise words helped me to move forward and find the peace and joy in life again. Also I realised that it was the best decision that I could do to ask for help and start to talk about it and think about, I went through all those feelings and althougj I know not everyday is great, I will go through the tuff ones and they will make me stronger at the end. Big THANK YOU.

I feel so lucky to have found Andrea, she is deeply wise and warm . I felt held, heard and validated. She understood the post relationship pain and regret I felt and gave me compassionate support. It feels as if she was able to pick up all the stuffing that had fallen out and put it back in. It is rare to find such a genuine and thoughtful therapist. Thank you Andrea.

Sep 2023

Andrea is supportive and a great listener. Easy to talk to. I like if she didn’t understand something I said she would ask questions rather than assume. I feel safe talking to her and after each session I feel better. At the end of the session she would finish it on a positive note

Andrea was a great. She is an excellent listener and knows how to ask the correct questions without any judgement. She helped me work through my thoughts and ease my anxiety in a caring way.

Jul 2023

I'm about a month into therapy/counselling with Andrea and find her a great support and ally, she holds a safe, non-judgemental space in which I feel free and safe to express whatever is up for me. She asks insightful questions and makes observations that help me see things from a more constructive perspective. She keeps me on track with my primary goal and is at the same time flexible exploring whatever is current for me on the day. It all seems to connect anyway. I would highly recommend Andrea as a therapist.

Andrea is a very attentive and sensitive therapist who genuinely cares for the well-being of her clients, and offers insightful and constructive feedback, alternative perspectives and helpful advice. I would highly recommend Andrea to anyone who truly wants to overcome any obstacle in life.

Dec 2022

When I was going through a stressful, emotional time, Andrea was able to draw out the sources of my depression and anxiety and help me think critically about them. She really made me feel heard, and with her guidance, I felt myself getting steadier and stronger each week. What's more, our discussions led me to some unexpected breakthroughs in other parts of my life. If and when I have mental health challenges in the future and want to seek counselling, I will get back in touch with Andrea. I found her to be thoughtful, responsive and caring. I recommend her without reservation.

Nov 2022

She is very professional. I have so much hope now since l started my sessions with her

Oct 2022

Therapy with Andrea has turned what I thought would be a scary process into something that I look forward to now. Andrea puts me at ease to discuss things that I have found painful, and provides me with useful tools and exercises. I would highly recommend Andrea to anyone seeking Therapy.

Oct 2022

Honestly cannot recommend both Andrea and better help enough. In the short time I have had the app and Andrea as my therapist I have felt I have so many more avenues for bettering my mental health. Andrea has given support, helpful advice, tools, resources and all round has given me a really positive outlook on therapy as a whole.

Oct 2022

Andrea has been very patient and understanding when it comes to trying to work through my issues. She has been very compassionate and takes the time needed to go through every aspect of your troubles. She always asks if there is something I would like to speak about first and then makes sure the session always ends on a positive or at least in a good place. I couldn’t recommend her as a therapist highly enough! So far I cannot fault her as she has done her upmost to help me through my issues. Thank you so much!

Sep 2022

I am lucky to have connected with Andrea because, even though the first time attending therapy can cause a bit of resistance, she's made me feel comfortable all the way from the start. Not only does she makes me feel seen and understood, but she's also very available for me. The weekly worksheets she sends help me understand mysñ way of functioning, as well as helping in our next therapy sessions. So far we've had two sessions but I am happy and excited to keep diving deeper into this

Sep 2022

Andrea is a calm, thoughtful, perceptive and empathetic therapist. From our first interaction I knew I was in safe hands.
