Andrea Taylor

I work Monday-Wednesday offering flexible hours. Times arranged by mutual agreement. 

I currently have availability for new clients. 

Hi, I am Andrea. Thank you for visiting my page.

I feel passionate about counselling and supporting people through times of distress. However big or small the problem seems in your life, talking it out sometimes helps you find awareness and comfort. 

I offer online or telephone therapy. I offer a free upto 30 minutes telephone consultation, where we discuss how/if we want to work together and decide if this will be telephone or online. I use Microsoft Teams as a secure online platform. 

Sessions are usually weekly at the same time/day for 50 minutes, where we will work together to build trust and explore your emotions and thoughts in a non-judgemental, safe way. 

I work within a person-centred model, blending cognitive behavioual techniques as and when needed to suit you. 

Please get in touch to find out how I might be able to help. 

We can often manage the small problems in life, but when them small problems build up, this is when we feel that we are unable to cope. I would like to say from experience, seeking help when these problems may seem small to you, can prevent that feeling of becoming unbearable to manage. Having a compassionate, trusting and honest ear might be the answer. 

I am a qualified counsellor. My integrative approach draws particularly upon person-centred, cognitive behavioual therapy and psychodynamic theory. 

I am a registered member of British Association for counselling and psychotherapy (BACP) I comply with the BACP Ethical Framework where I offer a confidential space. 

I have experience in working with a variety of clients and issues including, Depression, Anxiety, Loss, Addiction, Bereavement, Suicide, Safeguarding, Eating disorders, Domestic Abuse, Trauma, PTSD, Anger issues etc.

I offer a free, no obligation upto 30 minutes telephone consultation, where we can discuss working together and any questions you may have. 

If after this we agree to work together, our first session will be 50 minutes. Part of this first session will be setting some boundaries and going through a counselling agreement/contract. 

We will complete an initial assessment together, which will involve some questions where I will get an overview of what has brought you to counselling. 

We will explore what you wish to gain out of counselling and make sure that you are comfortable in working with me.
