Andrew Reid helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain and issues around self-esteem. He supports those facing addiction, trauma and abuse, changes at work, anger and questions about intimacy. He also offers coaching for life direction and help with concerns such as bipolar and depression.

Andrew uses a client-centred approach that puts the person’s experience first. He listens carefully and reflects what he hears so clients can make sense of difficult feelings.

Background and approach

Sessions move at the client’s pace rather than following a set script. He trained to a Level 5 Advanced Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and has practised for 15 years. Much of his experience comes from working with people affected by sexual assault and abuse through charity volunteering.

That work shaped his understanding of trauma and recovery. People come to him for help after bereavement, during divorce and separation, or when facing midlife questions and career crossroads. He also addresses attachment worries, communication problems and guilt or shame that block progress.

In sessions Andrew focuses on building a warm, non-judgemental relationship. He uses active listening and empathy to help clients explore feelings and make choices. The aim is clearer self-understanding and practical ways to move forward.

Client-centred care delivered online

Client-centred therapy focuses on being heard and understood. The counsellor offers attentive listening, reflection and empathy so people can explore feelings and make their own decisions. This approach is often helpful for anxiety, depression, grief, relationship difficulties and trauma-related concerns.

Because the work is non-directive, sessions allow time for people to set the pace and priorities. That means the therapist and client choose together which issues to address and which methods to try, tailoring the work to the person’s goals and preferences.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier during a short break from work. Live chat and text messaging suit brief check-ins, reflective writing or people who prefer not to speak aloud.

Many people find online therapy makes it easier to keep appointments around family and work commitments. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt client-centred methods to these formats so the focus stays on listening, understanding and practical next steps.
