About Andrea
Andrea Kyrri-Royle is a counsellor who has spent ten years helping people untangle painful or overwhelming life moments. She believes people want to grow, heal and find meaning even when life makes that hard. Andrea works to understand the whole person and what they want from therapy.
She brings warmth and steady attention to each session. She sees many coping styles as protective responses that developed for a reason. In conversation she helps people notice those patterns and where they began.
Background and approach
This often makes day-to-day choices feel clearer and less heavy. Andrea uses a mix of approaches to match each person she meets. She draws on Narrative ideas to look at the stories people tell about themselves.
She also uses client-centred and cognitive behavioural techniques to support practical change. Sessions are collaborative and paced to suit the individual. People set the aims and Andrea helps break them into small, manageable steps.
The work tends to focus on strengthening resilience and restoring a sense of agency. She accepts sessions in English and Greek and practises within the United Kingdom. Andrea is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.
Practical arrangements like session formats and scheduling are agreed at the start.

Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.
If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Andrea directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.
Online session options
Therapeutic approaches online and how they help
Andrea often uses Narrative Therapy to help people revisit the stories they tell about themselves and separate a person from a problem. This approach can help with identity worries, low self-esteem and patterns that feel stuck. She also draws on Client-Centred Therapy which focuses on listening with acceptance and helping people find their own answers. That approach supports emotional safety and self-understanding. In addition she uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy or CBT to identify unhelpful thinking and try practical experiments to change mood and behaviour.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Andrea treats the choice as collaborative and will discuss options with each person. Together they set goals and try methods that suit the individual's needs, pace and preferences, adjusting as progress is made.
Online therapy gives practical flexibility. Video calls let people see non-verbal cues and hold deeper conversations. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when camera-free talking feels easier. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins, written reflection and work that fits around busy days. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care despite work, travel or family commitments.
