About Andrew

Andrew Reid is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, depression and trauma. He uses a patient, person-centred style to help people talk through painful experiences and work out what matters to them now. He draws on 15 years of practice and a BACP registration to guide his work.

His approach is gentle and non-directive. Sessions tend to centre on active listening and reflection so clients can make sense of feelings at their own pace.

Background and approach

He has a background supporting people affected by sexual assault and abuse, which shapes how he responds to trauma and post‑traumatic stress. Andrew has also worked with people facing bereavement and life transitions. He helps clients manage relationship and family tensions, cope with anger or control issues, and rebuild self-esteem after loss.

He offers practical conversation around career changes, midlife crisis and finding life purpose. Clients can expect straightforward, down-to-earth conversations rather than clinical jargon. The focus is on understanding patterns, improving communication, and developing self-compassion.

His work includes coaching-style support when people want clearer goals or steps to change. Sessions are available online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. The booking process uses a subscription model and sessions can be scheduled once the short matching questionnaire is completed.

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.

How person-centred work fits with online therapy

Andrew uses Client-Centred Therapy, which centres on offering a listening presence and reflecting back what a person says. This approach helps when people feel uncertain about their emotions or when they want to make sense of past hurts such as trauma or bereavement.

The person-centred method encourages clients to lead the conversation while the counsellor offers empathy and acceptance. That style is helpful for building self-trust, working through attachment and communication issues, and exploring shame, guilt or life purpose without pressure.

Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs with each person and adapt the way sessions run to fit. This is a collaborative process where options are tried and adjusted based on what helps most.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video suits deeper, face-to-face conversations, phone can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports people who prefer writing. These options help fit therapy around work, family life and daily routines.
