About Andrea

Andrea Daniel is an ACA counsellor who helps people make sense of how they feel. She creates a calm, down-to-earth space for people to slow down and talk through what’s happening. Andrea aims to help with stress, anxiety, mood problems and panic attacks, as well as patterns like alcohol or other drug use.

Her style is collaborative and practical. Some people want concrete tools to manage symptoms. Others need time to process painful events. Andrea adapts to each person’s needs and mixes both practical strategies and reflective work.

She uses a blend of approaches to increase insight and change unhelpful patterns. This includes client-centred listening, cognitive behaviour techniques, and solution-focused work to set small, achievable goals. She also draws on elements that recognise the body’s role in stress and trauma.

Sessions focus on helping people build emotional regulation and recognise triggers. Andrea supports people to develop skills they can use between sessions. She pays attention to relationships, attachment patterns and communication problems when these are part of the issue.

Andrea has three years of clinical experience working in Australia. She describes her space as supportive and non-judgemental, and she works at a pace chosen by the person in front of her. If you want a straightforward conversation about what might help, Andrea offers a calm starting point.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person’s experience. It helps people feel heard and develop their own answers at a comfortable pace. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and teaches practical strategies to reduce symptoms like anxiety and panic. Solution-Focused Therapy targets concrete, achievable steps so people can notice small changes quickly and build momentum.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Andrea will discuss aims, preferences and what has helped or not helped in the past. She aims to match techniques to the person’s goals and adjust the plan as things change, so sessions feel collaborative rather than prescriptive.

The therapist’s biography did not specify which online session formats are offered, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life, reduce travel time and allow short check-ins when needed. Different approaches suit different goals, and Andrea will help decide which methods and session arrangements best support progress.
