About Andrew

Andrew Reid is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom. He uses a person-centred approach to help people who are feeling anxious, stressed, grieving, struggling with relationships, or wrestling with issues like self-esteem and addictions. He aims to offer a calm, non-judgmental space where people can talk things through at their own pace.

He has a Level 5 Advanced Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and has worked in the field since 2011, giving him about 15 years of experience. Much of his practical experience came from volunteering with a charity supporting victims of sexual abuse and violence, which informed his understanding of trauma and resilience.

Sessions focus on listening, reflection and helping clients find their own solutions. Andrew adopts a non-directive style, which means he follows what the client brings rather than imposing a set plan. This approach is often helpful for people coping with bereavement, relationship difficulties, life changes and questions about purpose.

He also supports people dealing with anger, intimacy-related problems, career uncertainty, bipolar and depression, and recovery from sexual assault and abuse. Additional focus areas include attachment and communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, and forgiveness.

Andrew is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Sessions are conducted in English and he does not take international clients. If you want to try counselling with him, follow the site Start Therapy flow to complete a short matching questionnaire and book according to his schedule.

Person-centred working and online options

Person-centred therapy focuses on listening, empathy and helping the client lead the conversation. The counsellor offers acceptance and reflection so people can explore feelings, decisions and relationships at their own pace. This approach often helps with grief, stress, anxiety and relationship concerns.

Andrew's non-directive style means he follows what the client brings to sessions rather than directing outcomes. Together they discuss goals and adapt the approach as needed, making decisions collaboratively about what feels most useful for the individual.

The original biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. Many people find online work useful because it can fit around work, childcare and daily life, remove travel time and make short check-ins easier to arrange. Online conversations can also be helpful when someone needs continuity while managing change. A registered or accredited professional will talk through practical arrangements and help choose what suits each person's schedule and comfort level.
