Andrew Reid

Andrew Reid is a counsellor who helps people facing divorce and separation, grief, anxiety and stress. He also supports those dealing with relationship and intimacy issues, addiction, low self-esteem and life changes. He works in English and practises from the United Kingdom, bringing 15 years of experience to his work.

Andrew uses a person-centred way of working. That means he listens carefully and follows each person’s pace. He creates time to talk through feelings and thoughts without judgement. Sessions focus on what matters most to the individual in the moment.

His training includes a Level 5 Advanced Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. He has worked since 2011 and has volunteered with a charity for survivors of sexual abuse and violence. That volunteering informed how he understands trauma and resilience.

People meet him for help with bereavement, midlife shifts, career questions and the fallout of difficult relationships. He aims to help clients feel heard, rethink difficult patterns and find clearer ways forward. Andrew favours simple, steady conversations that build trust over time.

His style is warm and non-directive. He uses active listening and empathic reflection rather than telling clients what to do. This approach is intended to help people explore choices, notice old habits and discover their own next steps.

How person-centred work translates to online therapy

Andrew practises person-centred therapy, which centres on listening and reflecting what the client brings. This approach helps people feel understood and can be useful for grief, relationship challenges, anxiety and life transitions. The emphasis is on the client’s experience rather than advice or direction.

His plainspoken, empathic style aims to build a steady therapeutic relationship. Together the therapist and client decide which ways of working suit them best. That process is collaborative and can change as issues and goals shift.

If you are considering online options, please confirm which session formats are offered before booking, since the profile does not list them. Discussing practicalities at the first appointment helps fit therapy into everyday life. Online sessions can make it easier to arrange appointments around work, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often find remote work lets people keep momentum during busy periods while still focusing on meaningful change.
