About Andrea

Andrea Kelliher works from a relationship-focused style that centres on what matters to each person. She uses a mix of talking therapies to help people understand problems such as stress, anxiety, depression and issues linked to trauma and abuse. Andrea is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

Andrea spends sessions helping people name what they want to change. She listens for patterns in relationships and past experiences and uses that material to bring clarity to current struggles.

Background and approach

Conversations are straightforward and focused on realistic steps you can try between meetings. Her background includes work in the NHS with Talk Wandsworth and time in independent practice in London. That practical experience involved supporting people with social anxiety, grief, low mood and relationship difficulties.

Andrea also holds an HN Access Diploma in Social Work which informs her understanding of social and practical pressures. Sessions are tailored to the individual, drawing on client-centred ideas alongside psychodynamic and cognitive behavioural approaches. The aim is to balance understanding why things happen with learning new ways to cope and respond.

Andrea encourages clients to explore goals and to identify strengths they already have. She aims to keep sessions honest and non-judgemental. The focus is on making sense of difficulties and finding manageable, meaningful steps forward.

People working with Andrea can expect a calm, steady space to talk things through.

Ways of working Andrea names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How these approaches work online

Andrea draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships shape current feelings. This approach helps when worries or trust issues come from earlier connections rather than one single event. She also uses client-centred therapy which means the conversation revolves around your concerns and pace, with the counsellor following what matters most to you. Cognitive behavioural therapy, CBT, is used to spot unhelpful thinking and to practise small behavioural changes that reduce stress and low mood.

Deciding which approach to use is a joint process. Andrea will listen to your history, goals and what you hope to achieve, then suggest a route to try. She encourages trial and reflection so the plan can change if something does not fit your needs or preferences.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls give a near face-to-face experience, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be useful for short check-ins, and text-based messaging allows ongoing contact between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments and let people choose the format that helps them engage most effectively.
