Mrs Andrea San Pedro-Lunn, MA

Therapeutic Counselor

verified by TherapyRoute

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.

About Me

I help people feel more in control of their emotions, more self-aware, and more compassionate towards themselves. I blend professional and personal insight as a psychotherapeutic counsellor, and my background in career mentorship gives me a grounded understanding of workplace pressures and chronic stress. I work with adults, adolescents, and children, paying particular attention to the “inner child” in adults — using structured and creative methods to address unmet needs, old fears, and limiting beliefs. Together, we will work to meet life's challenges with calm, quiet self-criticism and foster genuine self-acceptance. I combine talk therapy with creative tools to explore what can feel too difficult to put into words. I specialise in identity issues, low self-worth, intergenerational trauma, shame, being 'othered', and other social, racial and cultural complexities.

Approach

I bring a creative, relational approach to therapy, integrating practical exercises, psychodynamic insight, and trauma-informed practices to help people process complex emotional experiences, build resilience and re-engage with life and relationships. I am skilled in working with trauma, anxiety, neurodivergence (including ASD), identity formation, and emotional regulation. My approach is grounded, compassionate, and tailored to meet you wherever you are in your journey. Having grown up on the margins and being "othered" myself, I understand what it’s like to feel unseen, unheard, minimised or on the outside looking in. I also have a deep understanding of how family systems, compounded by cultural tensions, expectations and unrealistic ideals, can impact deeply on one's sense of self-worth. That lived experience shapes the way I listen: with empathy for those who have had to navigate the world in ways that weren’t always met with understanding or compassion. This experience has enabled me to connect with people from all walks of life, especially those carrying stories that haven’t always found a safe place to land. I provide a calm, confidential space where you can be fully seen and thoughtfully supported — whether you’re working through the past, facing present challenges, or seeking a clearer way forward. I am especially aware of how shame can keep us silent or stuck, and I work mindfully to create an environment where these difficult feelings can be explored without fear of judgment.
