Andrea Kelliher, BACP

Andrea Kelliher offers a relationship-focused counselling style rooted in client-centred work. She uses clear, practical discussion to help people make sense of stress, anxiety, trauma and depression. Andrea makes space for straightforward goal-setting and personal reflection. Her approach aims to help people feel steadier day to day.

Andrea combines client-centred empathy with psychodynamic thinking and cognitive behavioural ideas. She pays attention to how past experiences shape current feelings and habits. Sessions often include noticing patterns, trying small changes and talking through difficult memories. The focus is on what matters most to the person sitting in the room.

Her practice supports people dealing with anger, low self-esteem and issues around abandonment or attachment. She also works with concerns such as body image, guilt, isolation, money worries and relationship communication problems. Andrea helps people clarify values and start practical steps toward change.

Andrea holds BACP, the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy registration. She has three years of experience working in counselling roles in the United Kingdom. That background informs a calm, grounded way of working and a clear focus on workable goals.

People can expect an open, honest space where feelings are named and explored. Andrea aims to help clients recognise their strengths and build daily coping strategies. The work balances understanding the past with practical steps for the future.

How Andrea's Approaches Work Online

Andrea uses client-centred counselling to make the session feel rooted in the client's priorities. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting and helping the person find their own answers, which can be helpful for anxiety, self-esteem and life direction issues.

She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at how thoughts and behaviours influence feelings. In practice this means identifying unhelpful patterns, testing small changes and building practical coping skills for problems like stress and low mood.

Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Andrea will collaborate with the client to decide what feels most useful based on their needs, goals and preferences. This is a joint process and may change over time as progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face-style exchanges and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can suit shorter check-ins or days when being on camera is difficult. Live chat or messaging can be useful for ongoing reflection, quick support and people who prefer writing to speaking.

All of these options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments while keeping the focus on clear, practical steps and understanding what matters to the client.
