Andrea Sprio, BACP, NCPS

Andrea Sprio has worked as a counsellor in the United Kingdom for ten years. She holds BACP and NCPS credentials and offers a calm, respectful approach to people facing difficult life events. Andrea aims to make first steps in therapy straightforward and approachable for anyone feeling overwhelmed.

She focuses on relationship problems, family and parenting tensions, and common mental health concerns like anxiety and depression. Other areas Andrea supports include grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, eating and sleeping difficulties, anger, and low self-esteem. She also works with people managing ADHD, attachment difficulties, and the impact of chronic illness or pain.

Andrea uses methods drawn from attachment-based work, client-centred practice, and narrative approaches. In sessions she listens closely and helps people tell their story differently so they can try new ways of relating and coping. Conversations are tailored to each person’s needs rather than following a one-size-fits-all plan.

Her style is warm and practical. She helps people break problems into manageable steps and sets goals together. Andrea offers steady support while encouraging small changes that fit into everyday life.

To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and then the first session is scheduled according to the therapist’s availability. Fees vary with location and the service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How Andrea’s approaches translate to online counselling

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships affect current patterns. It helps people understand why they repeat certain behaviours in relationships and how to build safer, more connected ways of relating.

Client-centred practice focuses on listening without judgement and following the person’s lead. This approach helps when someone needs a supportive space to make sense of feelings and decide what matters most to them.

Narrative therapy helps people separate themselves from problems by re-telling their stories. It can be useful for shifting damaging self-beliefs, addressing shame, and opening up new possibilities for action.

Deciding which approach fits best is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and then suggest ways of working together. The choice is collaborative and can be reviewed as therapy progresses.

The original biography does not specify session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can help fit counselling into a busy life by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and making it easier to schedule sessions around work or family commitments. It also lets people choose whether to be on camera or use audio-only for a session when that feels more comfortable.
