Being a passionate advocate for non-directive Child-Centred Play Therapy, an approach which is backed by neuroscience and is strictly evidence based, I specialise in working therapeutically with families of children of 2-10 years old to support their child towards their full potential. I recognise the importance of facilitating parents with their involvement in the child's therapy by helping them to become therapeutic agents for their children. I have a special interest integrating this in therapy with children on the Autism Spectrum and with other developmental issues.

Navigating the inevitable challenges in life can often feel difficult and isolating, causing stress and overwhelm. Through gentle talk therapy and a collaborative and empowering approach, my hope is to support those struggling with their emotional load. As a counselling psychotherapist, I offer a safe space where you can feel free to share your stories, thoughts, and feelings without fear of judgement. By listening with an open mind and warm heart, my aim is to ensure you feel seen, heard, and understood, and to help you reframe your internal dialogue whilst softening your inner critic.

Hi, I'm Andrea, and I love my work as a psychologist. As the Buddhist philosophy goes, 'Life is Pain'—and truly, nobody gets through this journey completely unscathed from hurt, frustration, worry, anger, and more. So, if all of this Ick is so inevitable, then what's the point, right? Well, my work with clients is all about figuring out ways to transform that pain into a stepping stone for growth and passion, helping you move toward a life that feels more fulfilling and joyful.
