Andrew Reid , BACP

Andrew Reid is a compassionate, client-centered counsellor with a Level 5 Advanced Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and 15 years of professional experience. He trained in Person-Centred approaches - an approach that prioritises the individual's experience and supports self-directed growth - and has worked extensively with people facing grief, trauma and life transitions.

Alongside formal training, Andrew gained substantial practical experience volunteering with a charity that supported victims of sexual abuse and violence. That work deepened his understanding of trauma, resilience and the sensitive needs that often arise after abuse, and it influences the respectful, non-directive way he works with clients.

Andrew is experienced in helping people navigate a wide range of concerns including anxiety, stress, relationship and family issues, addiction, anger, self-esteem, career difficulties, and bereavement. He emphasises empathic listening and collaboration, tailoring a person-centred approach to each individual's circumstances while encouraging self-discovery and personal growth.

Based in the United Kingdom and holding the BACP credential - the main professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK - Andrew offers a steady, supportive presence for those seeking therapy. He welcomes people who want to explore, understand and work toward positive change at their own pace.

Person-Centred Support and Online Therapy Options

Andrew works primarily from a client-centred perspective, which focuses on empathic listening, acceptance and helping people find their own solutions. This approach is useful for those dealing with anxiety, stress, relationship difficulties, self-esteem and life changes because it prioritises the individual's pace and personal values.

Andrew's experience supporting people affected by trauma and bereavement shapes a sensitive, respectful way of working that honours each person's story. In practice this means offering a calm space to explore difficult emotions and build resilience without pressure or direction from the therapist.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process, and Andrew collaborates with clients to identify which methods best fit their needs, goals and preferences. He works with each person to adjust the style and focus of sessions so therapy feels useful and relevant.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging - offer flexibility for people with busy schedules, mobility limits or those who prefer remote access. These formats allow licensed professionals and therapists to provide regular support while fitting therapy into everyday life.
