Andreea Chirvase, BACP

Andreea Chirvase offers person-centred counselling that focuses on warmth, curiosity and non-judgement. She meets people where they are and helps them untangle repeating patterns, difficult emotions and relationship stresses. Andreea uses practical, solution-focussed tools when helpful so people can try small changes between sessions.

She creates space for people to pause and make sense of what is happening. Sessions invite honest reflection and gentle accountability rather than quick fixes. The aim is for clients to reach meaningful insights themselves, with a calm and steady guide alongside them.

Andreea pays attention to how past experiences shape present reactions. She and the client look at boundaries, communication habits and emotional patterns. That work is intended to improve connection with others and with the self over time.

She has particular experience supporting people with grief, trauma and sexual assault or abuse. Andreea also helps with anxiety, stress, depression and difficulties around intimacy and sexuality, including BDSM and kink culture and non-monogamous relationships.

Her practice is affirming of LGBT identities and she supports people exploring identity, belonging and self-acceptance. With three years of experience and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, Andreea combines relational listening with straightforward, practical steps.

People often come to her when life feels stuck after loss, change or long-term putting others first. Her work is aimed at helping clients regain direction, feel more seen, and make choices that fit their values.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Andreea’s work is rooted in person-centred counselling, which prioritises warm, curious listening and helps people explore their feelings and sense of self. This approach is useful for issues like identity, self-acceptance and emotional overwhelm because it gives space to slow down and reflect.

She also draws on solution-focussed techniques to identify small, practical steps that make day-to-day life more manageable. These tools help with patterns of anxiety, stress and relationship habits by turning reflections into concrete experiments you can try between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and will be decided together. The therapist and client talk about goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then adapt the work as understanding grows. This means methods can change over time based on what helps most.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let you work face to face from wherever you are. Phone sessions are helpful if a lighter bandwidth option suits you. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins, ongoing reflection and support between longer meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and busy lives while keeping the focus on progress and practical change.
