About Andrea

Andrea Sprio is a BACP and NCPS registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with 10 years of professional experience. She works mainly with relationship and family concerns, parenting challenges, stress and anxiety, and a range of related issues including addiction and grief.

She helps people talk through relationship strains and parenting tensions. She also supports those coping with trauma, mood difficulties, eating and sleeping problems, anger and low self-esteem. Sessions aim to be straightforward and focused on the problems a person brings.

Andrea uses attachment-based work to look at how early bonds affect present relationships. She also works in a client-centred way, following the person's lead and pace, and uses narrative techniques to help people reframe their life stories. These approaches shape how conversations are held and how goals are agreed.

Her practice includes additional focus on issues such as autism and Asperger syndrome, blended family dynamics, chronic illness or pain, body image and young adult concerns. Andrea also addresses panic, post-traumatic stress, self-harm thoughts, social anxiety and fatherhood matters when relevant.

She offers sessions in English and does not take international clients. Sessions are arranged through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, a person completes a short matching questionnaire and books a first session using the See online therapy options button.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current interactions. Online sessions can use this approach to map patterns in partnerships and parenting and to plan changes in how people relate. Client-centred work focuses on the person's experience and pace; in video or phone conversations the therapist follows what feels most pressing and adjusts the session accordingly. Narrative therapy helps people separate themselves from problems by retelling events and identifying different storylines; this can be worked through in talk sessions and short reflective tasks between meetings.

Choosing an approach is part of the work. The therapist discusses needs, goals and preferences and together they decide which methods to try first. That plan can change as the person notices what helps and what does not, so the process stays collaborative.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy around work, school or caregiving because they cut travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Online meetings also allow sessions without being on camera if someone prefers phone conversations, or they can use video when visual connection helps the work.
