About Andrew
Andrew Reid is a counsellor who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression and relationship strain. He works with people facing grief, addiction, anger and life changes. Andrew aims to offer a calm space where people can talk and be heard without judgement.
Andrew uses a Person Centred approach, sometimes called Client-Centred Therapy, which puts the person’s experience at the centre of sessions. He listens carefully and helps people make sense of their feelings at their own pace.
Background and approach
Sessions tend to be led by the client rather than following a fixed script. His journey began with a Level 5 Advanced Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling, followed by clinical work from 2011 onwards. Over 15 years he has supported people with trauma, bereavement and complex emotional issues.
He also volunteered with a charity supporting victims of sexual abuse and violence, which shaped his understanding of trauma and recovery. Andrew keeps the conversation simple and grounded. He focuses on building trust, improving self-understanding and helping people find practical ways to cope.
Topics he commonly addresses include attachment and communication problems, guilt and shame, midlife crises and questions about life purpose. Clients can expect a non-directive style that values active listening and empathy. Andrew is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, holds the BACP credential, and practises in the United Kingdom.

Online support
Andrew draws on this non-directive method to help clients build self-understanding and practical coping strategies. He listens for attachment patterns, communication blocks and sources of guilt or shame, and helps people identify small changes they can try between sessions. The aim is collaboration rather than instruction, so the client and counsellor work together to find the right path forward.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video calls are useful for a fuller face-to-face feel, phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited, and text or live chat can suit quicker check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, caring duties and travel, and they allow people across the United Kingdom to access support from their chosen counsellor.
