Andreia Jennings, BACP

Andreia Jennings is an existential-integrative psychotherapist who has been practising as a fully accredited psychotherapist since 2010. Her professional path began with three years of medical study before she changed direction to study philosophy, then taught in secondary schools and worked as a freelance journalist. A later move to another country intensified her personal exploration of life?s big questions and motivated her to understand how people navigate meaning, identity and relationships.

Andreia regards existential questioning as a practical and essential tool for self-understanding rather than abstract theorizing. Her work supports clients in reconnecting with themselves, with others and with their surroundings by addressing past ruptures and accessing the regenerative energy that can foster change. Over time her therapeutic stance has grown richer through insights from psychoanalytic ideas, which offer a developmental view of emotional life, along with narrative approaches and third-wave cognitive-behavioural techniques that inform practical strategies for coping.

She has incorporated ideas influenced by Dr Dan Siegel that view mental distress as disruptions in the flow of energy within and between people. Since 2015 Andreia has developed specific experience working with eating disorders alongside a broad range of presentations including stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, relationship and intimacy-related issues, mood disorders and life transitions. She holds BACP accreditation - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and works in English and Romanian, offering an integrative, reflective and person-focused approach to therapy.

Integrative Approaches and Online Therapy Support

Existential Therapy invites clients to explore life?s big questions about meaning, choice and responsibility in a way that helps people reconnect with their values and sense of purpose - it can be especially helpful for those facing life transitions, identity questions or feelings of emptiness.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on repairing and strengthening relational patterns formed early in life. By exploring how past relationships shape present connections, this approach supports people working with abandonment, intimacy difficulties and relationship challenges.

Trauma-Focused Therapy offers structured ways to acknowledge and process traumatic experiences so symptoms rooted in past harm become more manageable. This approach is relevant for those dealing with abuse, post-traumatic stress and dissociation.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Andreia works collaboratively with each client and will help identify which combination of methods aligns best with the client?s needs, goals and preferences, adjusting the plan as work unfolds.

Online therapy with Andreia is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. These options allow for flexible scheduling and make it possible to continue therapeutic work across distances, supporting access for people with varied routines, mobility needs or living situations.
