About Andrea
Andrea Sprio is a counsellor registered with the BACP and NCPS in the United Kingdom, with ten years of practice. She works with relationship and family concerns alongside stress, anxiety, addictions and mood-related difficulties. Her listed areas also include parenting, grief, intimacy issues and concerns around eating, sleeping and self-esteem.
Andrea keeps sessions direct and conversational. She listens to what has been happening and helps people name patterns that keep them stuck. Practical steps and clearer communication are common parts of her work when people want change in close relationships or parenting roles.
Her approach draws on attachment-based ideas and client-centred conversation. That means attention to how early bonds affect current reactions, and time to follow the person’s own priorities in session. Narrative work is used to help separate a person from the story they tell about themselves when guilt or shame is present.
People come to her for a wide range of concerns, from panic and depression to trauma, anger and issues linked to neurodiversity such as autism and Asperger syndrome. She also offers support for those dealing with substance use, body image and fatherhood questions.
Andrea asks straightforward questions about what matters most to the client and adapts the pace accordingly. If you are carrying guilt or shame about parenting, relationships or past events, she will help you examine how those feelings affect daily life and which small changes might make a difference.
How Andrea’s approaches translate to online work
Andrea draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current reactions. This approach is useful for people whose guilt or shame is linked to family roles or attachment patterns. She also works in a client-centred way, following the person’s priorities and using conversation to surface what feels most pressing.Narrative techniques are used to help people tell and retell difficult stories about themselves. That can make shame and guilt feel less defining and open up choices about how to act differently. Andrea treats finding the right mix of approaches as a collaborative process and will work with each person to settle on what feels most helpful for their goals and preferences.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the current session formats before booking. Many people find online work easier to fit around family life or work commitments, and it can make shorter check-ins or regular weekly meetings simpler to keep. The therapist will discuss how often to meet and what style of session suits the issue, whether the focus is parenting, trauma-related guilt, or changes in intimate relationships.
