Andrea Mills is a qualified Psychotherapeutic Counsellor, trained in transactional analysis. Before retraining as a psychotherapist Andrea worked for 25 years in the music industry, primarily in management, with internationally successful artists. Andrea has direct experience of the highs and lows inherent in the processes of recording, touring, and promoting, and the paradoxical nature of the impact that ‘success’ can have on a person’s life. She is familiar with the difficulties that can accompany life as an artist or musician, crew, or industry professional. Her years of experience working closely with high-visibility artists has given her a valuable insight into the accompanying pressures; and a well-developed skill for working with artists at the top of their game.
Andrea works with adults and can help with issues relating to anxiety, depression, feelings of being stuck, or alone, or simply a sense of not really knowing quite who you are. Andrea also works as a volunteer counsellor for the charity One In Four in London, an organisation which specialises in counselling adult survivors of child sexual abuse and exploitation.
