About Andrea

Andrea Sprio is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with ten years of experience. She holds BACP and NCPS credentials and focuses on practical support for everyday problems. Andrea listens without judgement and shapes sessions to each person's needs.

She works with people facing relationship strain, family and parenting worries, and the stress that comes with them. Eating and food-related issues, body image and self-esteem are among her areas of focus. She also helps with anxiety, depression, trauma and addiction-related concerns.

Andrea uses approaches that centre on connection and personal story. In sessions she draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current ones. She uses client-centred ways of working so conversations follow the client’s pace and priorities.

Narrative therapy is another influence in her practice, helping people separate themselves from the problems they face. That can make it easier to try different responses and to build new ways of relating to food, family or stress.

People who prefer a calm, respectful space tend to fit her style. Andrea encourages practical steps alongside reflection, and she supports people as they try out new habits. To begin, readers are invited to use the site’s Start Therapy button and complete the short matching questionnaire.

How attachment, person-centred and narrative work translate to online counselling

Andrea draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. That approach focuses on connection, safety in relationships and how those patterns turn up in stress or intimacy issues.

She uses client-centred methods that let the person set the pace and priorities of sessions. This means conversation follows what matters most to the client, helping build trust and practical next steps.

Narrative therapy helps separate the person from the problems they face. It encourages telling the story in new ways so people can try different responses around food, family or mood.

Finding the right approach is a shared task. Andrea will work with each person to choose techniques that fit their goals, needs and preferences. That choice can change as therapy goes on, and she reviews what is helpful together with the client.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins around work breaks, or reduce travel time. Talk with the therapist about practical arrangements and which style of meeting will best support the work you want to do.
