About Andrea
Andrea Sprio is a counsellor registered with BACP and NCPS in the United Kingdom with ten years of clinical experience. She works with people facing anxiety, relationship strain, parenting tensions and a wide range of other concerns including social anxiety and phobia. Sessions focus on conversation and practical steps rather than medical testing or diagnoses.
Andrea uses simple, clear language in sessions. She listens to what matters to each person and helps them make sense of difficult moments. Conversations often look at how past attachments and current relationships shape emotions and behaviour.
Her practice draws on attachment-based ideas to notice patterns in close relationships. She also uses client-centred ways of working to keep discussions focused on the person in front of her. Narrative therapy is used to help people reframe stories they tell about themselves and their difficulties.
People come with worries about stress, sleep, mood, eating, anger and low self-esteem as well as trauma, addictions and grief. She also supports people concerned about autism, ADHD, blended family issues and intimacy-related problems. Andrea helps people talk through parenting strains and fatherhood issues without labelling or quick solutions.
Sessions tend to be practical and conversational. Andrea and the person she is working with set goals together and review progress as they go. She asks about everyday routines, relationships, and what makes coping harder or easier, then suggests small changes to try between meetings.
Approaches online and how they shape sessions
Andrea uses attachment-based work to notice how early and current relationships affect feelings and reactions; this helps when people struggle with closeness, trust or patterns that repeat in relationships. Client-centred work means the conversation centres on the person’s experience, with the counsellor responding to what the client brings and pacing sessions to their needs. Narrative therapy helps people separate themselves from painful stories and experiment with alternative ways of describing their life and problems.Finding the right approach usually happens together. Andrea will discuss which methods fit the person’s goals and preferences and will adapt the way they work as sessions progress. The choice of approach is collaborative and reviewed over time rather than fixed up front.
Please confirm which session formats are available before booking because the biography does not list specific formats. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let someone choose a quieter setting, use audio only if video is difficult, or schedule sessions around work or childcare. Registered and accredited professionals aim to match the practical arrangements to what helps a person continue with therapy.
