About Andrea

Andrea Daniel is an ACA counsellor who helps people dig beneath the surface of their struggles. She creates a straightforward, supportive space where clients can slow down and make sense of what’s happening. Conversations focus on what the person needs right now, whether that’s practical tools or time to process feelings.

Andrea uses a flexible approach tailored to each person. She combines client-centred listening with focused strategies from cognitive behavioural therapy and solution-focused methods. This mix aims to build awareness of unhelpful patterns and offer skills for emotional regulation.

She also draws on ideas from the Gottman Method and motivational interviewing to help people clarify goals and find motivation for change. Andrea understands how stress, anxiety, addiction and trauma can shape everyday life and decision making. She pays attention to coping habits like alcohol or drug use and how they fit into someone’s broader story.

Sessions are offered in plain language with an emphasis on practical next steps. People who feel overwhelmed or uncertain about life direction will find space to explore values and options. Andrea supports work on self-esteem, panic symptoms, grief, codependency and relationship communication without rushing the process.

Her style is down-to-earth and collaborative. The aim is steady, manageable progress so clients leave sessions with something useful to try between meetings.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. It helps people feel heard and clarify their own goals, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood and relationship concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. It often helps with panic, mood problems and managing overwhelming stress. Motivational Interviewing supports people who are unsure about change by exploring their motivations and building readiness for new choices.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Andrea will help figure out which methods fit best based on a person’s goals, history and preferences. This is a collaborative process where techniques are tried and adjusted as needed rather than imposed from the start.

The biography does not list specific online or in-person formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people use approaches like CBT worksheets or guided reflections between appointments, making practical tools easier to carry into everyday life.
