About Andrea
Andrea Sprio is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with ten years of experience. She works with people who are dealing with relationship strain, family and parenting difficulties, anxiety, low mood and trauma. Andrea aims to create a respectful and compassionate space where people can take the first steps toward change.
She uses a tailored approach rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. Sessions focus on what matters most to the individual and on practical ways to reduce distress between meetings.
Background and approach
Andrea listens actively and adapts the pace and methods to each person's needs. Attachment-based ideas guide much of her work. These help look at patterns in close relationships and how early experiences shape current worries.
Client-centred principles mean the person sets the priorities, while the therapist offers support and reflection. Narrative techniques are also used to help people externalise problems and tell their story differently. This can be useful for grief, shame, addiction-related concerns and post-traumatic stress.
Conversations aim to make difficult experiences clearer and more manageable. Andrea also works with issues such as eating and sleeping problems, anger, self-esteem, ADHD and chronic health-related concerns. She explains BACP and NCPS as the professional bodies listed with her name.
Her style is straightforward and practical, with an emphasis on small, achievable steps.

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 attachment, person-centred and narrative work translate online
Andrea uses attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships affect current patterns. Online sessions can help identify these patterns and suggest different ways of relating to partners and family members.She also follows a client-centred approach, which means the person sets the agenda and the therapist offers non-judgemental reflection. This style suits people who want space to talk things through at their own pace and arrive at their own solutions.
Narrative work helps people separate themselves from problems by re-telling and reframing their stories. This can be especially helpful for experiences of shame, grief, addiction and post-traumatic stress, allowing clearer choices about next steps.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Andrea will explore your needs, goals and preferences with you and suggest which methods to try. The choice is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat or messaging suit shorter check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around family, work and everyday life.
