About Andrew
Andrew Reid helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strains, grief and addiction. He offers straightforward support for depression, bipolar issues, anger and the aftermath of trauma and abuse. He also assists with self-esteem, intimacy concerns, career questions and coping with life changes.
Andrew uses a client-centred approach that keeps the person at the heart of therapy. He listens actively and reflects what he hears, giving people space to make sense of things at their own pace.
Background and approach
Sessions are non-directive, so the pace and focus come from the person seeking help. His background includes 15 years working in therapeutic settings since 2011. He completed a Level 5 Advanced Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and holds BACP registration.
Volunteering with a charity for victims of sexual abuse and violence deepened his understanding of trauma and recovery. Andrew has supported many people dealing with bereavement and loss, and he adapts his way of working to each person’s needs. He pays attention to attachment and communication difficulties, control issues, guilt and shame, and the challenges of divorce and separation.
Practical topics such as life purpose, midlife transition, and rebuilding self-love also feature in his work. He offers coaching-style conversations when people want clearer goals or help making changes. Sessions aim to be calm, respectful and focused on what matters most to the individual.

Approaches Andrew lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
The emphasis is on the individual’s perspective rather than on advice or directive techniques. That makes it useful for trauma-related issues and for those who need space to make sense of difficult events. Conversations can also support people working through control issues, guilt, shame and questions of life purpose.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process and Andrew will work collaboratively to identify what fits best. He will discuss goals, preferences and how you like to engage, then adjust the way sessions run to suit those needs.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls are useful for therapy that benefits from face-to-face contact, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or chat can fit quick check-ins or short reflections. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family commitments and day-to-day life.
