Andreia Jennings , BACP

Andreia Jennings is an existential-integrative psychotherapist who has been fully accredited since 2010 and holds the BACP credential, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy in the United Kingdom.

Her route into therapy began with three years of medical study, followed by a degree in philosophy, time teaching in secondary schools, and work as a freelance journalist. Relocating to another country intensified personal existential questions and motivated a deeper study of the human mind and how people navigate life transitions and meaning.

Andreia views existential questioning as an essential part of living rather than abstract philosophy. In therapy she supports people to engage with those questions, to reconnect with themselves and others, and to repair past ruptures so they can draw on the regenerative energy each person carries.

Her practice is integrative, drawing on psychoanalytic developmental perspectives, narrative therapy, and third-wave cognitive behavioral approaches. She has been influenced by the work of Dan Siegel, which frames mental distress as disruptions in the flow of energy within and between people. Since 2015 she has developed focused experience working with eating and food-related difficulties.

Psychotherapy, for her, is an ongoing process of self-exploration grounded in flexibility, empathic connection, and consistent validation of each personâs experience.
