Testimonials
I feel honoured and grateful to accompany those who place their trust in me on their personal growth and mental health journeys. To honour the generosity of their words, I share these testimonials with respect and care.
Working with Andrea was truly transformative.
Her warmth, humour, insight, and calm stability enabled me to feel safe, held, and seen during what was often an extremely difficult in-depth counselling process. I warmly recommend her to anyone seeking a skilled, creative, and deeply intuitive counsellor.

I worked with Andrea during several different periods over a number of years. I phrase it that way intentionally, because our work always felt like a true collaboration. She was a trusted partner and, in many ways, a guide during a time when I might otherwise have felt quite lost. That sense of partnership is something I valued deeply then and appreciate even more now with distance.
I first came to Andrea in a period during a turbulent and unwanted transition in my life, knowing I needed a space where I could explore and process both the circumstances I faced and the patterns within myself that brought me there. I also knew I needed help finding the strength to move forward and grow back into the person I hoped I could be. Andrea helped me do exactly that.
She was always respectful but also willing to challenge me when it was needed. And as our work evolved over the years, she adapted to the changes in my life and in myself.
I had the sense that she was quick to recognise aspects of myself that I needed help to remember or uncover, and that she was able to collaboratively bring me to each of these at the right time.
Working together with somebody on issues like these is a very personal thing. Not everybody is right for everybody. But the match was right for me, and I imagine it would be for many others too. Andrea brings trustworthiness, kindness, intelligence, integrity, patience, and sensitivity to her work. Each of these are qualities that I think anyone would value in this context. I feel genuinely fortunate to have had the experience of working with her.

Andrea listens deeply and pours so much care into her process.
I’ve been working with Andrea since 2019. Our sessions have always been via Zoom and — with a very busy schedule — it's been incredibly convenient to be able to see her online across continents and time zones. Andrea has accompanied me through major life transitions, including navigating toxic relationships within my family and partnerships, infertility diagnosis, pregnancy, and motherhood, cyberbullying attacks, and deeply entrenched emotional patterns.
Andrea straddles different languages, cultures, and geographies, bringing a multifaceted lens — and all the nuance embedded within it — to her work. As an immigrant in the U.S. and a bilingual speaker, this background has been crucial to me.
She asks thoughtful questions that help illuminate more information, guide self-understanding, or open windows into entirely new ways of approaching a subject. She is incredibly respectful of boundaries and communication styles, and she knows how, when, and how much to challenge you so you can grow. I leave every session feeling refreshed, empowered, and challenged in such an energizing way.
Andrea creates an incredibly safe space in her practice — a haven for growth and discovery.
Through our work, I’ve developed greater emotional intelligence and strengthened my boundaries.
She is an exceptional guide and a warm, deeply empathetic, brilliant human. I truly recommend her to anyone seeking support through a life transition or looking to deepen their understanding of themselves.
Many of her words and questions have become mantras that I take with me in my day-to-day life and that have transformed how I relate to myself and to the world. Her accompaniment has brought me closer to who I am, given me a robust toolkit to navigate life’s seasons, and reminded me of the pathways toward freedom — sometimes through the smallest of gestures.

Andrea was my counselor during a time of great change in my life. She helped me learn new ways of being and move toward a place of empowerment and happiness.
I truly appreciated her psychoanalytical approach. It helped me analyze deeper meanings and applications.
We met online as I was living in Asia at the time. She was flexible and able to make the timing work. It's been 8 years now since she was my counselor, and it's still a great and meaningful part of my journey.

My weekly sessions with Andrea have seen me through many life events and stages. We continued via online sessions after I moved overseas, and have felt little difference between the two.
Thanks to our work together, I feel more calm and regulated.
I’m so grateful for her support and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate and effective counsellor.
