About Andrea

Andrea Sprio is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with ten years of experience. She works with people facing relationships, parenting and family challenges, and helps with stress, anxiety, mood concerns and addiction-related problems. Andrea aims to treat everyone with respect, sensitivity and compassion so people feel heard and valued.

She tailors conversations and plans to each person’s situation rather than offering one-size-fits-all solutions. Sessions focus on listening, understanding patterns, and trying small changes that can make day-to-day life easier. Andrea uses Client-Centred Therapy to prioritise the client’s own goals and voice in the work.

Her background also includes Attachment-Based Therapy and Narrative Therapy, which she brings in when they fit the person’s concerns. Attachment work looks at how early relationship patterns influence current trust and closeness. Narrative work helps people rewrite difficult personal stories and notice strengths they may have overlooked.

People come to Andrea for a wide range of issues, such as grief, trauma and intimacy-related worries, eating and sleeping difficulties, ADHD, low self-esteem and social anxiety. She also supports those managing chronic illness, blended family dynamics, fatherhood issues and body image concerns.

Andrea is registered with BACP and NCPS and works in the UK. Sessions are carried out in English. To start, a short matching questionnaire is completed and scheduling follows the therapist’s availability.

How these approaches translate to online work

Andrea uses Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on listening and following the client’s lead so their goals shape the work. This approach helps when people need a space to be heard and to make practical changes at their own pace.

She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at patterns of closeness and trust from earlier relationships and how these affect current connections. This can help with intimacy-related worries, family conflict and parenting strains. Narrative Therapy is used to separate a person from their problems, helping them tell a different story about who they are and what they can manage.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, and can adapt the focus as therapy progresses.

The original profile does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals often use remote sessions to support people who need flexibility while they work on relationships, anxiety and other common concerns.
