A clear understanding of what this work is—and what it is not.

An Important Note

Andreea Austen is an author whose approach to peer support is non-clinical and rooted in lived experience. Her work offers reflection, conversation and human connection.

Peer support is not psychotherapy, counselling, medical care or eating-disorder treatment, and is not a substitute for professional care. Individuals who require clinical or crisis support should seek care from an appropriately qualified professional.

Volunteer peer support through outside organizations is separate from AndreeaAusten.com. This website does not offer private peer-support appointments or treatment.
