About Andrea

Andrea Sprio is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with ten years of professional experience. She works with people facing relationship strains, family and parenting concerns, stress, anxiety and mood difficulties. Andrea also supports those dealing with trauma, grief, addictions, eating and sleeping problems, and anger. She holds BACP and NCPS credentials and aims to offer a respectful, sensitive approach.

Andrea shapes sessions around each person's needs. She listens first, then co-creates a way forward that fits daily life and personal goals. Conversations are practical and grounded, not full of jargon. That can help when anger, frustration or grief feels overwhelming.

Her practice draws on attachment-based methods to look at how past relationships affect present feelings. She also uses client-centred principles that focus on the person in the room and narrative ideas that help people reframe their story. These approaches are used to address issues such as self-esteem, intimacy-related concerns and ADHD-related challenges.

Andrea aims to be calm and straightforward in sessions. She emphasises collaboration rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. Work may include looking at patterns, practising new responses, and naming emotions to reduce reactivity.

People who choose Andrea can expect a warm, empathic style paired with clear practical steps. If anger or stress is affecting daily life, she helps clients notice triggers and try different ways of responding. The first meeting is used to clarify goals and agree next steps.

How Andrea’s approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current reactions. It can help people understand why anger or distance shows up in close relationships and guide practical changes in how they relate. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person at the heart of the session. The counsellor follows the client's pace, listens deeply, and helps the client find their own solutions to stress, low mood or relationship strain. Narrative Therapy helps people tell and revise the stories they hold about themselves. Reframing events and naming themes can reduce shame and open new ways of coping with issues like grief or addiction.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Andrea will discuss preferences, goals and what feels most useful, then adapt the methods over time. That collaborative decision-making helps shape practical tasks and the pace of sessions so they match each person's needs.

If you are considering online sessions, check which formats are currently offered before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, cut travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some people prefer not to be on camera, which can reduce pressure, while others benefit from face-to-face video for visual cues. Confirm the available options and schedule to find what fits your routine and energy levels.
