Andreea Chirvase, BACP

Andreea Chirvase offers a calm, considered approach for adults who feel disconnected from themselves, from others, or from a sense of direction. She works with people noticing repeating patterns, difficult emotions, or relationships that leave them feeling unseen, creating space to pause and make sense of what is happening. Therapy with Andreea is not about being fixed - it is an invitation to be both vulnerable and accountable. The work may be challenging at times, but she aims to move at a pace that feels manageable and never rushed.

Her practice is grounded in the person-centred approach, which means she brings warmth, empathy, and nonjudgmental curiosity to sessions. Alongside that foundation, she uses practical, solution-focussed techniques to help people notice patterns in thoughts, feelings, and behaviour and to explore small, achievable changes that support wellbeing. Relationships are often central to the work, and together she will explore how a person relates to others and to themselves, including boundaries, needs, communication, and emotional patterns.

Andreea supports adults navigating identity, relationship difficulties, communication problems, and emotional overwhelm across family, friendship, work, and dating contexts. She has experience with grief, trauma, historic childhood sexual abuse, and historic sexual trauma, and with people redefining themselves after loss or major life changes. Her practice is affirming for LGBT clients and also includes specialist focus on BDSM, kink, alternative sex culture, polyamory and non-monogamous relationships, intimacy-related issues, sexuality, and women’s issues. Andreea holds BACP accreditation, which is membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.

Person-centred and solution-focussed support online

Andreea commonly integrates the person-centred approach and solution-focussed techniques in online work. The person-centred approach focuses on meeting people with empathy, warmth, and nonjudgmental curiosity so they can explore their feelings and sense of self at their own pace - it is helpful for issues around identity, belonging, and self-understanding. Solution-focussed work highlights small, practical steps and explores patterns in thoughts and behaviour, which can be useful when someone wants to make concrete changes in relationships, stress, or daily coping.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and will be decided collaboratively. Andreea will work with each person to identify their needs, goals, and preferences, then adapt techniques so the work feels meaningful and achievable rather than prescriptive.

Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make therapy more flexible and accessible for different routines and needs. These options allow people to fit sessions around work, caregiving, or geographical constraints while maintaining continuity of care. Licensed professionals can use these formats to offer consistent, focused support that fits the practical realities of everyday life.
