About Andrea

Andrea Sprio works with relationship and family concerns, parenting difficulties, stress and anxiety, and a range of other issues including addiction, trauma, grief and self-esteem. She uses approaches such as Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy and Narrative Therapy, and has BACP and NCPS credentials with 10 years' experience in the field. Sessions are carried out in English and she practises from the United Kingdom.

Andrea frames sessions around practical conversation and reflection. She listens to the problem as it is described and helps people name patterns that repeat in relationships and daily life. She uses narrative techniques to look at stories people tell about themselves, and client-centred work to follow what matters most to each person.

Her work with attachment issues focuses on how early relationships shape expectations and behaviour now. This can help when there are recurring intimacy or trust problems. She also addresses eating and sleeping concerns alongside mood and anxiety symptoms using straightforward, talk-based methods.

Andrea has experience supporting people through grief, trauma and addiction-related struggles. She pays attention to family dynamics, blended family and fatherhood issues when those come up in sessions. She also works with people managing chronic pain, illness or disability and with neurodiversity concerns such as autism and Asperger syndrome.

Her approach is collaborative and practical. Sessions aim to make problems clearer and to find manageable changes people can try between meetings. She works with young adult issues, social anxiety, panic and mood disorders, and self-harm thoughts when these are part of what someone brings.

Andrea holds the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy membership and NCPS credential, and has a decade of experience supporting a wide range of concerns from relationship strain to trauma-related distress.

How Andrea uses therapeutic approaches in online sessions

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns from early relationships and how they affect current connections. It can help with intimacy issues, trust problems and recurring relational conflicts by identifying how those patterns repeat in everyday life.

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person's own concerns and pace. The therapist follows what the client brings, offers reflective listening and helps people clarify their priorities and choices during sessions.

Narrative Therapy involves examining the stories people tell about themselves and their relationships. It helps separate the person from the problem and can be useful for issues like low self-esteem, guilt or persistent negative beliefs.

Finding the best approach is part of the work and will be decided together. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and adapt the methods used as therapy progresses.

Confirm the specific session formats available before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a working day, reduce travel and allow shorter check-ins when needed, or a fuller hour when there is time. Many people find it simpler to attend from different locations and to schedule sessions around everyday commitments.
