About Andrew

Andrew Reid is a counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief and low self-esteem. He also supports those coping with addiction, trauma and issues around intimacy and anger. He works with people dealing with career pressures, bipolar and depression, and those navigating life changes and coaching goals.

He practises a client-centred style that puts the person’s experience first. Sessions focus on listening, reflecting and helping the client find their own way forward.

Background and approach

Andrew aims to build a steady, respectful relationship so people can speak honestly and at their own pace. Andrew has around 15 years of experience, starting his practice in 2011. His training includes a Level 5 Advanced Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling.

He also lists membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Voluntary work with a charity supporting victims of sexual abuse and violence has informed his understanding of trauma and recovery. He has worked with many people navigating bereavement and complex loss, and brings that experience into sessions in a gentle way.

In a typical meeting he listens, asks questions to clarify what matters, and helps people set small, practical steps. This approach aims to increase self-awareness and reduce the burden of difficult feelings. The pace is set by the client and shaped around their goals.

Ways of working Andrew names

Client-Centred Therapy

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Client-centred support offered online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person rather than the problem. The counsellor listens without directing, reflects back what is heard and helps the client make sense of their feelings. This approach is useful for anxiety, low self-esteem, grief and relationship concerns where being heard matters most.

Andrew’s background with trauma and bereavement work means he brings a steady, empathetic presence to sessions. Finding the right way of working is a shared process. He will talk with each person about what feels most helpful and adapt the pace, tone and focus to match their needs and goals.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical options. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that is helpful. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or times when typing feels more manageable. These formats make it easier to access therapy from different locations and schedules, and to choose what fits daily life.
