About Andrea
Andrea Sprio is a counsellor working in the United Kingdom with ten years of experience. She holds BACP and NCPS credentials and focuses on relationship and family concerns alongside stress, anxiety, mood and sleep difficulties. Andrea aims to create a respectful and compassionate space where people can begin to sort through what feels overwhelming.
She uses a conversational, person-centred way of working. Sessions are built around what matters to the individual and paced to their needs. Andrea listens for how past patterns and attachment influence current relationships, then helps people try different ways of relating and coping.
Her approach often draws on narrative ideas to help people make sense of troubling events. That can be useful for grief, trauma, mood shifts, or when someone feels stuck in a single story about themselves. Andrea pays attention to practical day-to-day patterns, such as sleep, eating, and stress, and looks for small changes that add up.
Andrea also works with issues linked to identity and sexuality and supports people facing addictions, anger, or body image concerns. She aims to reduce shame and increase self-understanding through steady, respectful conversation. Sessions typically focus on clear goals and gradual steps toward change.

How Andrea’s approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current bonds and reactions. In short sessions this approach looks at patterns of trust, closeness and separation and helps people try different ways of connecting when old patterns cause distress.Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the centre of the work. The counsellor listens without judgement, reflects what is said, and helps the client find their own solutions; this suits people who want a supportive space to clarify feelings and choices.
Narrative Therapy helps people separate themselves from a problem by examining the stories they tell about their lives. It can be useful for grief, shame, eating issues and clients who feel stuck in negative self-narratives.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. Andrea works with each person to identify goals and trial ways of working that fit their needs and preferences. If something does not feel helpful, it is reviewed and adapted together.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it straightforward to continue therapy if schedule changes occur, while the therapist and client decide together how best to use their time.
