Andrea Kelliher, BACP

Andrea Kelliher is a counsellor who works from a relationship-focused approach.

About Andrea

Andrea Kelliher is a counsellor who works from a relationship-focused approach. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and offers support for stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, low self-esteem and depression. Andrea speaks English and practices from the United Kingdom.

Andrea draws on several therapy traditions to shape sessions. She often uses attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships affect current feelings.

Background and approach

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques may be used to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Sessions are adapted to what each person needs in the moment. Her background includes work in the NHS with Talk Wandsworth and time as a personal therapist at The Awareness Centre in Tooting, London.

She also ran a face-to-face practice and holds an HN Access Diploma in Social Work. Those roles involved helping people with social anxiety, grief, depression and relationship difficulties. Andrea aims to build a trusting relationship and to help people set clear therapeutic goals.

She focuses on understanding how past experiences affect day-to-day life and on practical steps toward change. Conversations are straightforward and directed at what the client wants to achieve. People can expect a warm and honest style that balances exploring roots of distress with practical work.

Sessions look at immediate problems alongside longer-term patterns. The aim is to help people identify strengths and small steps they can use outside sessions.

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

Therapeutic approaches suited to online work

Andrea commonly uses attachment-based ideas to explore how early relationships shape current reactions. This approach helps when issues involve trust, closeness or patterns that repeat in relationships and it can clarify why certain situations feel triggering.

She also uses Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on listening closely and responding to what each person brings. That style is helpful for people wanting a supportive space to talk things through and to develop their own solutions at their pace.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, may be used to help spot and change thought patterns that feed anxiety or low mood. CBT gives practical tools that can be practiced between sessions to reduce symptoms and build new habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then adjust methods as the relationship develops. This is a collaborative process aimed at matching style to need rather than imposing a single method.

Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when time and bandwidth permit. Phone sessions can be simpler when a shorter check-in is needed or when camera use is not wanted. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer writing, need brief check-ins, or who want to fit therapy into a busy day.
