Andreia Jennings , BACP

Andreia Jennings is an existential-integrative psychotherapist who brings a blend of philosophical curiosity and clinical training to her work. Her path into therapy began after three years of medical studies and a subsequent degree in philosophy, followed by experience teaching in secondary schools and freelance journalism. A move to a different country intensified her own existential questions and prompted a sustained interest in understanding how people navigate life, meaning, and suffering. She has practised as a fully accredited psychotherapist since 2010 and holds BACP recognition - membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom.

Andreia describes existential questioning as an integral part of human life rather than an abstract exercise, and she encourages clients to engage with those questions as a route to reconnecting with themselves, others, and their environment. Her approach has been enriched over time by psychoanalytic ideas that highlight development and attachment, as well as by narrative therapy and third-wave cognitive-behavioural techniques. Influenced by the work of Dr Dan Siegel, she understands mental distress in relational and regulatory terms and attends to ruptures in how energy and connection flow within and between people.

Since 2015 Andreia has developed particular expertise supporting people with eating disorders alongside a broad range of issues including trauma, anxiety, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and life transitions. She frames psychotherapy as an ongoing process of self-exploration, flexibility, and compassionate understanding, aiming to validate clients while helping them rebuild connection and resilience. Andreia offers therapy in English and Romanian and practices from the United Kingdom.

Approaches That Guide Online Therapeutic Work

Andreia integrates Attachment-Based Therapy and Existential Therapy with Trauma-Focused principles to guide online work. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns of connection and helps people who struggle with trust, abandonment, or intimacy to build more secure ways of relating. Existential Therapy explores questions of meaning, freedom, responsibility, and identity, supporting clients facing life transitions, emptiness, or a search for purpose. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on addressing the effects of traumatic experiences and helps reduce the ongoing impact of past harms on mood, relationships, and daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Andreia collaborates with each client to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques as the work unfolds so therapy remains relevant and responsive.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can be arranged as video calls, phone appointments, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit schedules, energy levels, and access needs. These options make it easier for people to engage consistently in therapy and to continue work from different locations while maintaining a therapeutic relationship with licensed professionals and therapists who can adapt to each client’s circumstances.
