About Andrea
Andrea Reid is a counsellor who centres work around the person in the room. She uses Client-Centred Therapy to listen closely and follow each person's lead. She aims to create space where worries can be named and explored without pressure.
Andrea has three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and holds BACP accreditation. She has supported people through stress and anxiety, and helped with parenting concerns, low self-esteem and career uncertainty. She also works with people coping with life changes and motivation difficulties.
Her approach is straightforward and down-to-earth. Sessions focus on what matters most to the client and on practical steps they can try between meetings. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques when thoughts and behaviours are causing distress, and uses psychodynamic ideas to look at repeating patterns and past influences.
Andrea believes clients are the experts in their own stories and builds on their strengths. She describes the first steps as courageous and intends to support and empower people as they make changes. Conversations are paced to each person's comfort and goals.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability. Fees vary by location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How Andrea uses different approaches in online work
Andrea combines Client-Centred Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to shape practical, respectful online support. Client-Centred Therapy means the counsellor listens closely, follows the client's pace and helps people find their own answers. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy offers simple tools to spot unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioural changes that can ease anxiety or low mood.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Andrea will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn't helped before, then suggest ways of working that fit the person. This is a collaborative process and plans can be adjusted as therapy continues.
Please confirm the session options available before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use phone or lower-bandwidth options when video is difficult, helping therapy fit into everyday life without major disruption.
