About Andreea
Andreea Chirvase is a counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has three years' experience working with adults on relationship issues, identity questions and emotional overwhelm. Sessions are offered in English from the United Kingdom.
She uses a person-centred way of working that focuses on listening and practical curiosity. This means conversations aim to clarify what matters to the client and to point out repeating patterns in thoughts, feelings and behaviour. She also draws on solution-focused techniques to set small, achievable steps when that feels useful.
Many people come because they feel stuck after change, loss or long-term stress. She supports those coping with grief, trauma and historic sexual abuse, and people facing anxiety or depression. There is explicit focus on intimacy-related issues, communication problems and sexuality, including work with people involved in kink, BDSM and non-monogamous relationships.
Andreea describes her role as a collaborator rather than an expert with all the answers. Sessions may move between exploring past experiences and trying concrete adjustments in day-to-day life. She also looks at boundaries, needs and how past experience can affect present relationships.
Clients seeking support around career stress, coping with life changes or identity questions will find practical ways to notice patterns and plan next steps. The approach aims to help people understand themselves more clearly and take manageable actions that suit their lives.
Therapeutic approaches and how online counselling works
Andreea combines a person-centred approach with solution-focused techniques. The person-centred approach involves careful listening and asking questions that help people describe what matters to them. It helps when someone wants to work through identity, relationship or emotional concerns. Solution-focused work looks at small, practical steps and changes that can be tried between sessions to break repeating patterns.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss goals and preferences with each person and adjust the balance between reflective conversation and practical tasks. This is a collaborative process where the client and counsellor decide together what helps most.
The practical benefits of counselling without attending a clinic include fitting sessions into a busy life and avoiding travel. The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current session options before booking. Many people find that shorter travel time, easier scheduling around work or childcare, and the ability to have focused conversations from wherever they are make remote counselling a useful way to keep therapy part of everyday life.
