Hey, I’m Andrea!

I am a therapist specialising in cultural trauma, helping individuals, couples and families improve their relationships, set healthy boundaries, and live authentically through a variety of therapeutic techniques.

Is this what you’re going through?

Are you wondering why your relationships with friends, family and romantic partners feel so strained? Are you feeling stuck in life and burnt out? Do you feel like you’re a disappointment to your family, or feel as though you’re betraying them in some way? Or perhaps you are feeling suffocated by overbearing family members and their expectations, feeling unseen and unheard in their presence.

Imagine having improved relationships with your family whilst finding your voice. What would it feel like to have an increased sense of self-esteem so you could feel comfortable setting boundaries with your family and others? How would it feel to be living your true authentic life? 

My Approach

I am an integrative psychotherapist working with children, teenagers and adults, specialising in intergenerational cultural trauma i.e. trauma passed down through family generations. “Integrative” means I use a variety of techniques and modalities to journey with you in therapy. As a therapist of colour, I understand more than anyone that it probably has been a journey for you to even get to this point.

We will gently explore together how your past childhood and cultural experiences might have shaped your unconscious beliefs, feelings and patterns of behaviour. Often we are unaware that our adult challenges arise not only from what happened to us in childhood, but also from what we didn't get growing up. I also use breath and body work as a means of connecting with yourself and your nervous system, which is an important element to healing. I am a believer in journeying with you and exploring your inner world at your pace.

Areas I specialise in include:

·       Depression and low mood

·       Anxiety

·       Low self-esteem

·       Identity

·       Romantic relationships

·       Cultural guilt and shame

·       Grief and bereavement

·       Trauma

Whether it be struggling to have healthy boundaries with your family, battling bouts of anxiety and depression or recognising that you feel a little lost and would like to work on general self-development, let's journey together on your path of loss, self-exploration and re-discovery. Let’s make that 180° turnaround.
