Visiting the roomAbout Andrea Long
I’m Andrea Long, a BACP-registered counsellor and psychotherapist. I see adults one to one from a private counselling room at Douglas House in Belmont, Bolton, online across the UK, and outdoors.
“Everybody has an individual and unique story and journey in life.”
My approach
How I work
I work using Transactional Analysis (TA), a talking therapy that explores your personality and how it has been shaped by your experiences.
Part of what I enjoy about TA is that clients can learn its ideas as we go. Over time, many people start to recognise for themselves when an old, younger way of reacting takes over, and to choose a more grounded response instead.
You can read more about Transactional Analysis Therapy, or about what to expect when you start counselling.
