About Andrew
Andrew Reid is a BACP counsellor with 15 years' experience based in the United Kingdom. He works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain and anger. He also supports those facing depression, addictions and life changes.
Andrew uses a client-centred way of working. That means he focuses on listening and reflecting rather than directing the session. Sessions are aimed at helping people talk through what matters to them and find what moves helpfully forward.
His training includes a Level 5 Advanced Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling, and he has worked as a volunteer with a charity supporting victims of sexual abuse and violence. That experience gave him practical insight into trauma and post-traumatic stress.
Andrew often works with people coping with bereavement and complex loss. He also helps with attachment and communication problems, control issues, and problems around intimacy and forgiveness.
In practice he keeps things straightforward. Conversations cover current struggles, patterns that keep returning, and small steps to change. He encourages people to notice what helps and to build on those shifts over time.
If someone is unsure where to start, he asks simple questions about daily life and what matters most. The first sessions focus on understanding the problem and agreeing next steps together.
How client-centred approaches work for online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting. The therapist follows what the person brings to the session and supports them to find their own solutions. This approach can help with anger, relationship tension, grief and stress by emphasising the person's own perspective and choices.When someone is unsure which approach fits best, the therapist will work collaboratively to decide. He will ask about goals, what has helped before, and practical limits like how much time someone can give. Together they agree steps to try and review how those steps are working. Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the biography did not list them. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into a busy life, for example by avoiding travel, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, or cutting down time away from work. Others prefer in-person contact; the therapist will discuss what suits the person's routine and needs rather than assuming one option is best. Registered or accredited professionals can use online sessions to keep continuity between appointments and to make regular work on anger or relationships easier to sustain. The focus remains on practical steps, honest conversation, and checking progress over time.
