About Andrew Reid
His practice is informed by hands-on volunteering with a charity supporting victims of sexual abuse and violence, an experience that deepened his understanding of trauma, resilience, and the long-term impact of abuse. That background, together with extensive work with people facing bereavement and grief, shapes a sensitive, attuned approach to clients who are processing loss or recovering from traumatic experiences.
Andrew works from a Client-Centered Therapy model, emphasising empathy, active listening, and a non-directive stance that allows individuals to explore their thoughts and feelings at their own pace. He aims to create a non-judgmental, supportive environment where people can build insight, strengthen coping skills, and pursue meaningful change.
Clients seeking support for stress, anxiety, relationship or family issues, grief, addictions, trauma and abuse, self-esteem concerns, or life transitions may find his steady, compassionate manner helpful. Andrew prioritises genuine connection and collaborates with each person to tailor the pace and focus of therapy to their needs and goals.

Client-Centered Approaches for Effective Online Support
Andrew uses Client-Centered Therapy as a core approach - a way of working that focuses on empathetic listening, acceptance, and supporting clients to find their own solutions. This approach helps people who are coping with grief, trauma, relationship difficulties, anxiety, or changes in life direction by prioritising the client’s perspective and pace.
He also draws on coaching-oriented techniques to help clients clarify goals, strengthen motivation, and make practical changes in areas such as career, relationships, and life purpose. These techniques complement the non-directive stance of Client-Centered Therapy by offering structured moments of planning and goal-setting when appropriate.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Andrew works collaboratively with each person and with registered professionals where needed to identify which methods best match the client’s needs, goals, and preferences, and he adjusts the focus as therapy progresses.
Online therapy with Andrew is available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility to fit sessions around work, family, and daily life. These options make it easier for people to access regular support from a therapist without the need to travel, helping continuity of care and consistent progress.
