Meet Andra Love

Andra Love is a qualified social worker, relationship coach, and the author of I Want to Know What Love Is. As both a survivor of domestic abuse and a safeguarding trainer, she brings lived experience and professional insight to her advocacy. In her coaching work, Andra helps individuals and couples build healthier connections by exploring love languages, attachment styles, and communication patterns. She is passionate about raising awareness of the hidden struggles faced by social workers who are also victims of abuse, advocating for compassionate legislation and systemic change. Through her writing, training, and coaching, she gives a voice to those whose stories often remain unheard while offering practical tools for creating safe and fulfilling relationships.
Born with a natural empathy for others and a strong sense of justice, Andra pursued a career in social work, driven by a deep desire to safeguard the vulnerable and provide a voice for those whose struggles are often overlooked. Over the years, she has supported countless individuals and families through crises, helping them access protection, resources, and pathways to safety. Her professional journey has given her unique insight into the strengths and shortcomings of social care systems, as well as the emotional toll that such work can take on practitioners themselves.
Yet Andra’s story is not defined only by her professional achievements—it is equally shaped by her personal survival. As a victim of domestic abuse, she has experienced firsthand the fear, isolation, and stigma that survivors often endure. Unlike many professions where disclosure of abuse can lead to support, social workers face additional risks: the possibility of losing their professional registration and, with it, their livelihood. This reality means that social workers who are victims may feel compelled to suffer in silence, unable to seek the same help they are trained to provide to others. Andra has openly spoken about this injustice, advocating for systemic change so that no professional has to choose between their safety and their career.

My work is rooted in faith, healing, and truth—supporting those who feel broken, silenced, or overlooked to rediscover their worth and rebuild their lives.
“The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me… He has sent Me to heal the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound… to comfort all who mourn.”
Through my work as a relationship coach, safeguarding trainer, and author, I am committed to helping others break unhealthy cycles, find freedom, and experience love in its safest and truest form.

I want to know what love is?

This book is influenced by my self-discovery as a woman of purpose, a mother, a daughter, a sister and a divorcee. This book has been inspired by my survival from years in abusive relationships and how my experiences eventually caused me to triumph and break cycles. I want to Know what Love is? Is a book that will provoke you into breaking cycles and discovering your own love journey. It is dedicated to all women regardless of their cultural or religious backgrounds. This book is for you Sis, I simply want to see women healed of their past trauma, and brokenness, and I want to see relationships saved by empowering couples to discover their love languages and to establish lasting relationships that are free from abuse. Love is complex only until you understand the concept of love then you can understand the language it speaks…Andra Love

I want to know what love is the companion journal

This journal invites you into a powerful exploration of your attachment styles and love language—two key elements that shape how you give, receive, and respond to love.
For years, I found myself trapped in cycles of emotionally and psychologically abusive relationships—relationships that left me questioning my worth, mistrusting my intuition, and repeating patterns I didn’t fully understand. Despite my education and professional knowledge, I was still choosing partners and dynamics that mirrored unresolved wounds from my past.
It wasn’t until I began doing the deep work of self-discovery—specifically through understanding my attachment style and love language—that things began to shift.
But my healing didn’t come from self-awareness alone.
What truly transformed me was combining that knowledge with the power of my faith, spoken affirmations, and the truth of scripture. God’s Word reminded me of my identity and worth when I had forgotten who I was. Scriptures became anchors in the storms of self-doubt and heartbreak. Affirmations helped me rewire the beliefs I had carried for far too long—beliefs that told me I wasn’t enough, or that pain was the price of love.
Your attachment style is formed early in life, often based on your first emotional bonds with caregivers. It can influence how safe you feel in relationships, how you handle conflict or intimacy, and how you seek connection or protect yourself from vulnerability. By identifying your attachment patterns, you gain awareness of the unconscious scripts you may be following—scripts that could be keeping you in cycles of fear, avoidance, anxiety, or emotional disconnection.
Understanding these patterns is one of the first steps toward healing. When you become aware of what drives your relational behaviour, you can begin to make conscious choices. You learn to self-soothe, to communicate your needs more clearly, and to create the emotional safety you may have never experienced before. This creates the conditions for secure, stable love to take root—within yourself first, and then with others.
Your love language reveals how you most naturally express affection and how you recognize when love is being offered to you. Whether it’s through words of affirmation, quality time, physical touch, acts of service, or receiving gifts—knowing your love language helps you better articulate your needs, and understand the needs of your partner. Misunderstandings and emotional distance often come from misaligned love languages—so this awareness becomes a tool for both connection and longevity.
Together, these insights help you move from autopilot in relationships to intentionality. You become less reactive and more responsive. You begin to notice what feels safe, what feels triggering, and what you truly desire in love—not based on fantasy or fear, but grounded in truth and self-knowledge.
