About Andrew

Andrew Reid is a BACP counsellor with 15 years of practice in the United Kingdom. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain, bereavement and life changes. He also supports clients concerned about self-esteem, addictions, trauma and intimacy-related difficulties.

Andrew trained to Level 5 in Therapeutic Counselling and has worked since 2011. He has volunteered with a charity for victims of sexual abuse and violence, which informed his work with trauma and post-traumatic stress. That background also shaped how he listens to people coping with grief and loss.

His main approach is Client-Centred Therapy. In sessions he focuses on listening without directing the outcome. He helps people talk through what matters to them and notice choices they might not have seen before.

Andrew often supports people dealing with career uncertainty, midlife questions and life purpose concerns. He also works with anger, attachment and communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, and recovery after sexual assault and abuse.

Sessions are straightforward and conversational. He uses active listening and reflection to help people clarify priorities and next steps. People come to him when they need space to sort thoughts, make sense of a change, or think about what to do next.

How Client-Centred work translates online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, reflection and allowing the client to lead the conversation. It helps people who are unsure about decisions, coping with loss, or wanting to make sense of a major life change by emphasising the person's own priorities and pace.

That approach places the client's experience at the centre of planning. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify which ways of working feel most helpful, and adapt session style to the client's goals and preferences rather than imposing a fixed method.

Practical benefits of online sessions include fitting therapy into a busy week and avoiding travel time. Online work can make it easier to have shorter check-ins between in-depth sessions, and to manage appointments around work or caregiving commitments. The exact session formats used with this counsellor are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking to make sure they suit your routine and needs.
