Andrea Tate

Hi everyone :) My name is Andrea and I am a Specialist Wellness Counsellor. In addition, I have my BA (HSSS) specializing in Psychological Counselling,  BA (HONS) in Psychology and my Postgraduate Certification in Education (PGCE).

From a young age, I was always fascinated by the brain and how it is the essence of ones personality, individuality and abilities. During my teenage years, I experienced major stress and anxiety. Experiencing this and seeing how effective couselling was, ignited a passion in me to help others navigate their own challeneges.

I have a very strong will to help people, particularly people suffering with with stress and anxiety; as well as children, teenagers and young adults. My areas of expertise has been teaching (both in schools and adult literacy), babysitting and aupairing, with my biggest achievement being teaching English in Iraq.

I approach each client with enthusiasm. My friendly, caring, and sensitive manner allows me to handle each individual with the amount of care that one needs. I'm compassionate, a good listener and empathetic, taking time to understand each individual and ensuring everyone's voice is heard. I respect and support all clients, taking into account ones cultural beliefs and individuality.

I believe in a person-centred approach whereby together with my help, clients will be able to empower themselves, and recognise and develop their own strengths and abilities in order to live an independent and fulfilling life.
