Andrea Daniel , ACA

Andrea Daniel is an ACA counsellor who helps people make sense of stress, anxiety, addiction and the effects of trauma. She creates a calm, down-to-earth space where people can slow down and talk through what feels overwhelming. Andrea offers both practical strategies and time to process emotions, depending on what each person needs.

She works collaboratively, asking questions to find what sits beneath the surface rather than only managing symptoms. That might mean spotting unhelpful patterns, strengthening emotional regulation, or experimenting with new ways of coping. Sessions are paced to suit the person and their current capacity.

Andrea draws on a mix of approaches, including client-centred methods, cognitive behavioural ideas, solution-focused techniques and elements of the Gottman method. She also uses motivational interviewing to support change and addresses trauma with careful, body-aware work when needed. This range lets her tailor sessions to everyday concerns and long-term goals.

Her practice covers issues such as low self-esteem, depression, panic attacks, addiction and relationship patterns like codependency and communication problems. She also supports people dealing with domestic violence, grief, guilt and life-purpose questions. Clients can expect clear, practical steps alongside space to reflect.

Andrea has three years of clinical experience in Australia. She offers sessions in English and provides a straightforward approach for people wanting to work through difficult feelings and build more sustainable coping skills.

How Andrea’s approaches work in online therapy

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and understanding what matters most to the person. It gives space to tell your story and work at your pace, which can help when anxiety or overwhelm make thinking clearly difficult.

Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours connect. It offers simple, practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns and reduce symptoms like panic, low mood or avoidance.

Motivational interviewing supports change by exploring a person's own reasons and readiness to act. It can be useful for questions about alcohol or drug use and for building commitment to small, achievable steps.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapy process. Andrea works together with each person to decide what fits their goals and preferences. She adjusts methods over time so sessions remain useful and realistic for day-to-day life.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how people connect. Video calls let the conversation feel more like an in-person session, phone work requires less bandwidth, live chat suits short check-ins, and text messaging allows ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, parenting and other commitments, while keeping the focus on practical tools and steady progress.
