About Andreea
Andreea Chirvase works with adults on relationships, identity, emotional overwhelm, grief and trauma using a person-centred approach and practical solution-focused techniques. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has three years' experience working with these concerns in the United Kingdom.
Andreea invites clients to look at repeating patterns and difficult emotions. Sessions focus on noticing thought and behaviour patterns, and on small changes that are manageable. She emphasises personal responsibility alongside openness, and aims to help people reach their own insights rather than giving ready-made answers.
Her practice often centres on relationship issues, including how people relate to themselves and to others. This can include communication problems, boundaries, intimacy-related questions, and non-monogamous arrangements such as polyamory. She also works with topics linked to sexuality, including BDSM and kink, and with people affected by sexual assault and abuse.
Andreea offers support for grief and for coping with major life changes, helping people who feel disconnected or unsure of direction. She uses solution-focused techniques when helpful to make therapy practical and action-oriented, while maintaining a person-centred stance that foregrounds the client's perspective.
She provides an affirming approach for LGBT clients, particularly around identity, belonging and self-acceptance. People who come to her often seek help for anxiety, stress, depression, career concerns and difficulties expressing needs within relationships.
Therapeutic approaches and how they translate to online work
Andreea uses a person-centred approach that focuses on the client's perspective, listening without judgement and helping people to make sense of their experience in their own words. This approach helps when uncertainty, identity questions or relationship issues feel confusing and you want space to clarify what matters to you.
She also brings in solution-focused techniques when useful, which concentrate on small, practical changes and noticing what already works. These methods are helpful for managing anxiety, improving communication, and making gradual shifts in everyday routines.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative part of the work. The counsellor will discuss options with the client, match methods to their goals, and adapt over time if something is not helpful. Clients are involved in deciding what feels most useful for them.
Practical benefits of remote counselling can include fitting sessions around work and family commitments and saving travel time. If you prefer, confirm current session formats before booking so you know what is available for scheduling. Many people find online sessions make it easier to sustain regular contact and to apply new skills between meetings.
Sessions take place through BetterHelp by video, phone or messaging. We will earn a commission if you sign up.
