Mrs Andrea San Pedro-Lunn, MA
Therapeutic Counselor
“I am a psychotherapeutic counsellor working with individuals, families, children and teens. At Subliminal Space, my practice is integrative, creative, and relational, drawing on psychodynamic, humanistic, and attachment-based perspectives to provide a safe and reflective space for you to explore what feels difficult. Often, the struggles we face as adults — anxiety, shame, people-pleasing, burnout, disconnection — have roots in early emotional wounds we were never able to name, let alone process. Working with someone trained in child and adolescent development can help uncover and gently address those early patterns — the ones formed long before we even had the words to describe what was happening. Because even if those experiences are behind us, the feelings they left behind often aren’t. We will work towards laying those things down, examining them gently, and begin to loosen their grip on what no longer serves us. Alongside my counselling work, I bring a depth of professional and lived experience. Before training as a psychotherapeutic counsellor, I worked for many years in communications and leadership, which gave me a strong understanding of the pressures of professional life, creativity, and identity. This background enriches my therapeutic perspective and enables me to connect with a wide range of clients. ”
