About Andrea
Andrea Daniel is an ACA counsellor in Australia with three years of clinical experience. She works with people dealing with anxiety, stress, depression, addictions and trauma, and she also supports those trying to find more meaning or life purpose after a change.
Andrea focuses on understanding what lies beneath symptoms rather than only managing them. She offers a down-to-earth space where people can slow the pace and make sense of their reactions. Some clients look for practical strategies; others need time to process feelings, and she works with both approaches.
Her practice draws on client-centred ideas alongside Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and solution-focused techniques. She uses these methods to help people spot unhelpful patterns, try small behavioural changes, and build better emotional regulation. Gottman-informed approaches and motivational interviewing are also part of her work when communication or change readiness are involved.
Andrea also uses somatic-informed and trauma-aware ways of working to address the body’s responses to stress and to support recovery from abuse or overwhelming events. That can look like noticing physical tension, practising grounding, or learning short tools to reduce panic and reactivity.
Sessions aim to be practical and manageable. Andrea can help someone reduce panic attacks, cut back on problematic alcohol or drug use, improve communication, or explore what matters next after a life shift. She encourages clear steps alongside space to reflect.
How Andrea’s approaches translate to online work
Andrea combines client-centred listening with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and solution-focused methods. Client-centred work involves open listening and reflecting back what someone says, which helps clarify values and feelings. CBT focuses on practical experiments and changing unhelpful thinking and behaviour, which can reduce panic and low mood. Solution-focused work looks for small, achievable steps to move toward clearer direction or purpose.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Andrea will work collaboratively to decide which methods suit a person’s goals and preferences. That might mean using CBT tools one week and a more reflective client-centred conversation the next, depending on what the person needs.
The practical aim of online sessions is to fit therapeutic work into everyday life. Please confirm available session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific delivery modes. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family commitments, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. A therapist can also adapt tools so they work in a quieter setting, for lower bandwidth or for shorter intervals when that better suits the person.
