About Andrew
BACP counsellor with 15 years' experience, Andrew Reid specialises in stress, anxiety, relationship and grief work. He uses Person Centred Therapy and focuses on listening, building rapport and helping people talk through what matters to them.
Andrew presents himself as a non-directive counsellor who aims to offer consistent, respectful sessions. He draws on a Level 5 Advanced Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and more than a decade of practice since 2011. He has also volunteered with a charity supporting victims of sexual abuse and violence, which informed his way of working with trauma and bereavement.
Sessions tend to centre on what the client brings, with the counsellor following the client's pace rather than imposing a fixed agenda. Topics he commonly addresses include self-esteem, addiction, intimacy-related issues, anger and career concerns. He also works with people coping with bipolar, depression and major life changes.
Additional focus areas include attachment and communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, and questions about life purpose and midlife change. Andrew also supports people dealing with post-traumatic stress and sexual assault and abuse.
People who see him can expect a reflective, person-centred style. He aims to help people find clearer ways to understand their feelings and to consider practical next steps or coping ideas as they choose.

How his Person Centred approach adapts to online work
Person Centred Therapy focuses on providing active listening and responding to what the client brings. Online sessions using this approach still centre on the client's priorities and aim to create space for reflection, which can suit issues like anxiety, grief and self-esteem.Andrew's practice also emphasises working at the client's pace and following their lead. That means the therapist and client together decide how to proceed, discussing whether more practical coping ideas or deeper exploration best fit the situation.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Andrew will work collaboratively to identify what methods fit the client's needs, goals and preferences and make adjustments over time as those needs change.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so readers should confirm current session options before booking. Online work can help fit counselling into everyday life by making it easier to schedule appointments, reducing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when that better fits a day. Registered or accredited professionals often use remote sessions to support continuity of care and to reach people who need more flexibility in when they meet a therapist.
