Andreea Chirvase, BACP

Andreea Chirvase is a BACP-registered therapist who supports adults working through relationship challenges, identity questions, grief, trauma, and the everyday stresses of life. She creates a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can pause, reflect, and begin to make sense of repeating patterns, difficult emotions, or relationships that leave them feeling unseen.

Therapy with Andreea is not about being fixed overnight. She invites clients to be both vulnerable and active in the work, holding a steady pace that allows insight to emerge. Her practice is grounded in the person-centred approach, which means clients are met with warmth, empathy, and genuine curiosity. When practical tools are helpful, she draws on solution-focused techniques to identify unhelpful patterns and explore small, achievable steps toward change.

Relationships are a frequent focus in her work - how people relate to others and to themselves, and how past experiences continue to shape the present. Sessions may address boundaries, communication, intimacy-related concerns, non-monogamous relationship dynamics, and issues linked to sexuality, including BDSM or kink contexts. She also has experience supporting adults processing historic sexual trauma and loss.

Andreea offers an affirming approach for LGBTQ+ clients and those navigating identity, belonging, self-acceptance, or life transitions. With three years of clinical experience, she aims to help clients arrive at their own meaningful realizations and to support steady, authentic movement forward. BACP refers to the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, the professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom.

Person-centred and Solution-focused Support Online

Andreea primarily works from a person-centred stance, which emphasizes empathetic listening, acceptance, and genuine curiosity so clients feel understood and can explore their experiences at their own pace. This approach helps with issues like identity, self-acceptance, and relational difficulties by centring the client’s perspective.

She also uses solution-focused techniques to notice recurring patterns and to identify small, practical steps that can create meaningful change. These brief, goal-oriented strategies are useful when clients want clear ways to manage stress, anxiety, or relationship challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the work and is decided collaboratively. Andreea will explore clients’ needs, goals, and preferences and adapt methods so the therapeutic process fits each person. This collaborative stance helps build trust and ensures the chosen techniques feel useful and relevant.

Online therapy with Andreea is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during busy periods, manage therapy around work or family commitments, and access support from familiar spaces.
