Andrew Reid, BACP

Andrew Reid is a seasoned therapeutic counsellor offering 15 years of professional experience in client-centered practice. He holds a Level 5 Advanced Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling, an advanced qualification in counselling, and the BACP credential - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which indicates professional standing within the field. Andrew combines formal training with grounded, hands-on experience gained since 2011.

His clinical work has included volunteering with a charity supporting victims of sexual abuse and violence, an experience that deepened his understanding of trauma, resilience, and the long-term effects of abuse. He has also supported many clients through bereavement and grief, tailoring his non-directive, person-centered approach to meet the emotional complexities that follow loss.

Andrew works with a broad range of concerns including stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, grief, low self-esteem, addictions, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, anger, career challenges, bipolar and depression, and coping with life changes. He also focuses on attachment difficulties, communication problems, control issues, separation and divorce, forgiveness, guilt and shame, life purpose, midlife crises, post-traumatic stress, self-love, and sexual assault and abuse.

Known for empathetic listening and a respectful, non-judgmental stance, Andrew aims to create a supportive space where clients can explore thoughts and feelings at their own pace. He works collaboratively to help people gain insight, develop coping strategies, and move toward meaningful personal growth.
