About Andreia
Counsellor and BACP member Andreia Jennings has 14 years' experience working with a wide range of emotional and behavioural concerns. She describes her work as rooted in existential questions, and assists people with issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, eating difficulties, relationship and intimacy concerns, and addiction.
Andreia combines an existential outlook with several relational and practical approaches. She uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current patterns. She also draws on client-centred principles to keep sessions focused on the client's perspective. Trauma-focused methods are used when past harm is part of the presenting problem.
Her background includes time studying philosophy and earlier work in education and journalism. Those experiences feed into a reflective style that addresses life meaning and purpose as well as immediate symptoms. She has worked with eating disorders since 2015 and continues to update her practice in that area.
Sessions aim to identify patterns that cause distress and to develop clearer ways of relating to oneself and others. Practical techniques and conversational reflection are both part of her approach, depending on the issue at hand. She also uses ideas from motivational interviewing when people want to make concrete changes.
Andreia works in the United Kingdom and offers help in English and Romanian. She accepts international clients. People who contact her are invited to discuss their priorities and plan sessions that match their goals.
How her approaches work in online counselling
Andreia uses attachment-based ideas to look at patterns in relationships and how early experiences shape current reactions. This helps when people struggle with trust, closeness or repeating hurtful patterns. She also works from an existential perspective, which encourages plain discussion of meaning, choice and responsibility when life feels confusing or empty. Existential work can help with midlife questions, loss and a sense of purposelessness.She will also use trauma-focused techniques where past harm affects present functioning, helping to reduce the hold of traumatic memories and improve daily coping. Choosing the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist and client discuss needs, goals and preferences and agree a way of working that fits the issue and the person's style.
Confirm current session formats before booking. Many people find online counselling helps fit therapy into everyday life - it can make sessions easier to attend around work or childcare, allow shorter check-ins, and remove travel time. If someone prefers a quieter or lower-bandwidth option that can shape how sessions are run. Registered or accredited professionals can offer a range of ways to meet; ask what formats this counsellor currently provides when you make initial contact.
