Andrea Kelliher
Calm, relational counselling with practical focus
About Andrea
Andrea Kelliher is a counsellor who uses relational and evidence-informed approaches to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression and anger. She works in the United Kingdom and brings three years of practice to her counselling. Andrea aims to create an honest, warm space where people can talk about difficult feelings and set clear goals for change.
Andrea draws on Attachment-Based, Client-Centred and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy approaches. She helps people make sense of how past relationships affect present day feelings and patterns.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on building a trusting relationship and identifying practical steps that fit each person's life. Her background includes training in social work foundations and professional registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, shown as BACP. Andrea has worked in face-to-face settings and has experience supporting people dealing with grief, social anxiety, relationship difficulties and suicidal thoughts.
In sessions she blends exploring past experiences with short-term strategies. That might mean talking through early attachment patterns, gently looking at unhelpful thinking, or practising clearer communication. Andrea helps people recognise strengths and small changes that make daily life easier.
People who come for counselling often want clearer direction and relief from intense emotions. Andrea helps them identify a starting point, set realistic goals and track progress as they move towards a more manageable future.

How her approaches work online
Andrea combines Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to shape online sessions. Attachment work looks at how early relationship patterns influence current emotions and helps people understand why they react in certain ways. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person at the centre of the work, giving them space to speak and be heard while the counsellor follows their lead. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying practical experiments to change how someone feels and behaves.Finding the right approach is part of the process and is decided together. The counsellor will listen to what matters most, try methods that match the person's goals, and adjust the work as progress is made. This collaborative style means therapy can shift between exploring past patterns and practising small, practical skills depending on preference and need.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face connection when a deeper relational focus is helpful. Phone sessions can be easier when movement or listening without video suits better. Live chat and messaging let people check in more frequently or use shorter exchanges between longer sessions, offering flexibility to fit therapy into a busy life.
