Welcome to Counselling with Andrea Rose. I am a qualified Counsellor / Psychotherapist with over 10 years of experience and a member of the British Association of Counsellors & Psychotherapists, MBACP.
For many years now I have worked with children and adults, managing a variety of mental health concerns. I also currently work as a mindset coach. My belief is that every interaction and experience we encounter throughout our lives determines who we are today; having an impact on our self-esteem, confidence, thoughts and behaviour.
We learn to adapt to situations by developing coping mechanisms to help us through negative experiences and manage difficult emotions, but these coping mechanisms and thought patterns can also hold us back from future happiness.
This is where counselling can really help by understanding our emotions, behaviour and relationships and why we feel the way we do. It enables us to challenge negative thought patterns and allow for change to happen. We are able to explore the past, present and future depending on your concerns, time constraints and goals.
The type of counselling I offer is Integrative, using approaches such as Gestalt, Person Centred, Transactional Analysis and CBT. This enables me to tailor all appointments to the individual and use different approaches when and where needed throughout our sessions together. I offer both short and long-term counselling to suit your needs and budget.
You can receive specialised, experienced counselling from the comfort of your own home via video chat. If you live in the United Kingdom and locally to the BH18 postcode area, face-to-face private counselling is also available.
Please see my booking availability below and if there is anything further you need to ask me regarding appointments and how I might help you, please just ask. I will endeavour to get back to you asap and within 24 hrs of your initial contact.

"I cannot praise Andrea's counselling skills and abilities highly enough! Before receiving counselling, I was very sceptical of the benefits of 'counselling and therapy' - however, I am now a total convert. Andrea particularly impressed me with her ability to 'hear' what I was saying, and also to remember and recall details so well. Her observations of what was 'happening in my life' and her techniques of 'making me aware' were brilliant. In a relatively short timescale, Andrea also helped equip me with resources I needed to 'see and hear' my situation for myself and how to cope and move forward, positively. Thoroughly recommended. 10/10."
Our first free initial telephone consultation is quite informal and lasts approximately 15-30 minutes.
This will be a chance for us to discuss your needs and reasons for counselling, expectations and what you would like to achieve from the sessions together including any goals. All sessions last 50 minutes with the exception of Couple Counselling which lasts 90 minutes.
I would usually advise weekly sessions to begin with as through my own experience and many years of research generally in the field of psychology it has shown that the consistency of weekly sessions can give us better results. This said, it is also completely your decision on how many sessions you require and how often.
