About Andreia
Andreia Sousa Fortes is a counsellor with four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She offers calm, respectful support for people who are struggling and prefers a practical, person-centred way of working. She speaks English and Portuguese and adapts sessions to each person’s circumstances.
Her work often focuses on stress, anxiety and depression. She also helps people who are coping with trauma, grief and loss. Sessions are shaped around what the individual needs in the moment and over time.
Background and approach
Andreia uses a blend of approaches that suit different problems and personalities. She draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to spot unhelpful thinking patterns. She uses acceptance and commitment approaches to help people identify values and manageable steps forward.
She is also informed by attachment-based and client-centred ways of working, which means sessions pay attention to relationships and to how people feel heard. Dialectical behaviour ideas are used when someone needs tools for emotional regulation and distress tolerance. Her style is collaborative and practical.
Conversations aim to make sense of what is happening and to build skills people can use between sessions. The first step is a short matching questionnaire and then arranging appointments that fit the person’s schedule.

Online support
She also draws on attachment-based and client-centred ideas to create a listening space where people feel understood. The therapist treats deciding on an approach as a joint task - she will talk through options, test what fits and adjust the plan as goals evolve. That collaborative process helps make sure the methods match the person’s needs and day-to-day reality.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls let you use body language and a fuller conversation. Phone sessions are useful if bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging can work for brief reflections, skill-checks or when typing feels easier. These options increase flexibility so therapy can fit around work, family and other commitments.
