Andreea Chirvase, BACP

Andreea Chirvase offers a steady, compassionate presence for adults who feel quietly disconnected from themselves, from others, or from a sense of direction. She meets people who notice repeating patterns, emotions that feel hard to manage, or relationships that leave them unsure or unseen, and provides a space to pause and untangle what is really happening. Therapy with Andreea is not framed as a process of being "fixed." Instead she invites vulnerability alongside accountability, acknowledging that the work can feel uncomfortable at times while being paced so it is never rushed.

Her practice is grounded in the person-centred approach, which means she brings warmth, empathy, and genuine curiosity without judgement or pressure. When useful, she incorporates practical, solution-focused techniques to help clients notice patterns in thoughts, feelings, and behaviours and to explore small, achievable changes that support wellbeing. Relationships are often central to the work, so she collaborates with people to examine how they relate to others and to themselves - exploring boundaries, needs, communication, and emotional patterns with the aim of building deeper connection, trust, and self-understanding.

Andreea works with adults on a range of concerns including relationship and intimacy issues, identity and belonging, communication difficulties, emotional overwhelm, stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and life transitions. She has experience supporting people processing historic childhood sexual abuse and past sexual trauma, and she offers particular support for those redefining themselves after loss or major change. She also provides an affirming space for LGBTQ+ clients and offers focused support around intimacy-related concerns, BDSM and kink, non-monogamous and polyamorous relationships, sexuality, and women's issues.

With three years of clinical experience, Andreea holds BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which is a professional membership for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom. Whether someone is carrying old wounds, struggling to express needs, or seeking deeper self-understanding, she aims to help people slow down, reflect, and move forward in ways that feel authentic and grounded.
