About Andreia
Andreia Sousa Fortes uses practical, person-centred therapies to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression and the aftermath of trauma. She is identified by her NCPS credential and brings four years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. Andreia speaks English and Portuguese and focuses on tailoring conversations and plans to each person she meets.
She helps people work through grief, addiction-related struggles and problems with sleep or eating. Her practice also covers self-esteem, coping with life changes and issues linked to attachment and abandonment.
Background and approach
Andreia pays attention to the everyday effects of these difficulties and works on clear, manageable steps for change. Her approach blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Client-Centred principles. In sessions she listens closely, helps people notice what matters to them and supports practical skills for thinking, feeling and behaving differently.
The aim is steady progress rather than sudden fixes. Andreia has experience supporting concerns around codependency, communication problems, divorce and separation, and domestic violence. She also works with neurodiversity topics such as autism and Asperger syndrome, and with co-morbid mental health issues.
Conversations are shaped to each person’s history and current needs. People can expect a calm, respectful space where the therapist and client set goals together. Andreia emphasises compassion and clear next steps so work feels achievable.
She encourages people to take small actions that build confidence and improve day-to-day life.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and help decide what fits the client’s needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative choice can change over time as progress is made and priorities shift.
Online therapy offers practical benefits through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations for skills practice and non-verbal cues. Phone sessions can be a good choice when bandwidth is limited or a calmer routine is needed. Live chat and messaging let people check in between sessions or use shorter, more frequent contact. These formats make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, family life and other commitments.
