About Andrew
Andrew Reid is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief and relationship problems. He works with issues like self-esteem, addiction, anger and major life changes. He also supports people dealing with trauma, sexual assault and post-traumatic stress. He uses a calm, person-centred way of working that focuses on the individual.
He describes his approach as Client-Centred Therapy, which means he listens carefully and follows the client’s pace rather than directing the conversation. Sessions are aimed at helping people understand their feelings, make sense of difficult events and find healthier ways of coping. He uses empathy and active listening as the main tools in the room.
Andrew trained to Level 5, an Advanced Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling, and holds BACP registration. He has around 15 years of practice experience since 2011, including volunteer work with a charity supporting victims of sexual abuse and violence. That experience informs his work with trauma and grief.
In sessions he focuses on creating an accepting, non-judgemental space where people can speak freely. He works with attachment, communication and control issues, and supports those facing divorce, midlife crises or questions about life purpose. His style is steady and patient, aiming to help people find their own solutions.
People considering therapy are encouraged to start with a short questionnaire and then arrange sessions that fit their needs. Andrew practises in the United Kingdom and works in English.
Client-centred approaches and online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of the work. The counsellor listens without judging and follows the client’s pace, helping them name feelings and find their own way forward. This approach can be helpful for anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and relationship concerns.Andrew’s practice emphasises empathic listening and steady presence. That means the counsellor will work with each person to understand what matters most to them and to adapt the way they meet those needs. Choosing the right approach is a joint process, and the therapist will discuss options based on your goals and preferences.
The biography does not list specific online or in-person session formats, so please confirm session types before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for quicker check-ins when needed. It can also let people attend from a quieter location or avoid being on camera if they prefer a phone call. Discuss available formats and scheduling when you complete the matching questionnaire so sessions suit your life and needs.
