Andreia Jennings , BACP

Andreia Jennings is an existential-integrative psychotherapist who has practised as a fully accredited psychotherapist since 2010 and holds BACP accreditation - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Her professional path began with medical studies, shifted into philosophy, and later included secondary school teaching and freelance journalism. A move to a different country intensified her own existential questions and inspired a commitment to understanding how people navigate life, meaning, and identity.

She frames existential questioning as a practical and ongoing way to deepen self-understanding rather than as abstract theory, and she supports clients in reconnecting with themselves, others, and their environment by addressing past ruptures and cultivating personal resilience. Over time her practice has grown to integrate insights from psychoanalytic development theory, narrative therapy, and third-wave cognitive-behavioral approaches, creating a flexible, integrative method tailored to each person’s needs.

Andreia has worked with a wide range of difficulties and since 2015 has developed specific experience supporting people with eating and food-related issues. Her areas of focus include stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting challenges, and mood disorders. She works in English and Romanian and combines reflective exploration with practical strategies to help clients move through life transitions and repair ruptures in connection.

Combining Existential and Attachment-Focused Approaches Online

Andreia draws on existential therapy to help people explore meaning, freedom, and the choices that shape their lives. This approach invites reflection on values, life direction, and the emotional responses that arise during transitions or crises, and it can be useful for those grappling with life purpose, midlife questions, or major changes.

She also uses attachment-based work to examine how early bonds influence current relationships and emotional patterns. Attachment-focused techniques help clients understand issues like abandonment, commitment difficulties, and patterns of closeness and distance, supporting healthier connections with others.

When trauma is part of a person's story, trauma-focused methods are used to address the impact of past harms and to restore a sense of regulation and continuity. These interventions aim to reduce distress linked to traumatic memories and rebuild the capacity to engage with life more fully.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Andreia works with each person to identify the approaches that best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting methods as therapy progresses. Online formats - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - offer flexible ways to access therapy from different locations and at times that fit a client’s schedule, making it easier to maintain continuity of care and build therapeutic momentum.
