About Andrea
Andrea Daniel is an ACA counsellor with three years' experience based in Australia. She works with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression, and helps people who are dealing with panic or mood difficulties. Her style is practical and collaborative.
Andrea focuses on noticing patterns that keep problems going. She balances practical strategies with space to process feelings. Some people come for step-by-step techniques; others want to slow down and reflect. Sessions look at thoughts, habits and reactions rather than only treating symptoms.
She uses approaches that help people recognise unhelpful thinking and try different responses. That includes cognitive behavioural ideas alongside client-centred listening and solution-focused planning. Motivational interviewing is brought in where change feels difficult, for example around alcohol or other drug use.
Andrea also draws on relational ideas to look at attachment and communication problems. For people who have experienced abuse or trauma she offers a careful, body-aware perspective that pays attention to emotional regulation and safety in pacing work.
Her practical aim is to help people build clearer choices and steadier coping. She supports work on guilt, shame, codependency, jealousy, isolation and family-related stressors. If someone wants a mix of strategies and talking, Andrea adapts the session to match that preference.

How Andrea uses structured approaches in online work
Andrea commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy when working online. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing different responses, which can help with anxiety, panic and mood concerns. Client-Centred Therapy prioritises listening and reflection, giving people time to make sense of feelings and decide what to try next.She also uses Motivational Interviewing to support change when people feel stuck, especially around alcohol or other drug use. That approach focuses on building motivation and resolving mixed feelings about change in short, practical steps.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. She will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and then agree on techniques to try. The plan can include skill-building, short experiments between sessions, and reflective conversation depending on what suits the person.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make sessions easier to fit into a week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce time spent travelling. These practical benefits help people combine therapy with everyday responsibilities while trying out structured strategies and reflective conversations.
