About Andrea

Andrea Reid is a counsellor who uses a person-centred approach to help people with stress, anxiety and parenting concerns. She works in a straightforward, supportive way and treats each person as the expert in their own life. Andrea holds BACP registration, which is listed as her professional credential.

Andrea commonly helps with low self-esteem, career uncertainty and the practical strains of everyday life. She also supports people facing changes such as moving through midlife, coping after childbirth, or managing fertility and cancer-related worries.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on what matters most to the individual and on small, achievable steps forward. Her ways of working draw on client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural tools and psychodynamic ideas. That mix lets her balance practical strategies with attention to feelings and personal history.

Conversations are aimed at building confidence, reducing panic and finding clearer ways to cope. Andrea has three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. She offers conversations about money worries, hoarding, caregiving stress and the emotional effects of ageing.

She also supports people wanting to stop smoking or vaping and those dealing with dissociation or a sense of emptiness. People who choose to work with Andrea can expect calm, direct conversation and encouragement to try new approaches. She aims to empower people to make changes that fit their life and values.

The first sessions often focus on identifying priorities and planning practical next steps.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Andrea uses client-centred therapy to create a listening space where the person's priorities guide each session. This approach focuses on understanding your experience and building on your own strengths to solve everyday problems.

Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, is used to identify unhelpful thinking and to develop practical skills for reducing anxiety, panic and stress. These techniques are useful for tackling immediate problems and building routines that make daily life easier.

Psychodynamic ideas are also part of her work and help uncover patterns that affect current relationships and self-image. Exploring these patterns can clarify why certain reactions repeat and open up new ways of responding.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. Andrea will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs and personal preferences. That collaborative process helps set realistic aims and decide whether to focus on short-term skills or deeper reflection.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let visual cues and a fuller conversation, phone sessions need less bandwidth, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging can fit into a busy day. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, childcare or other commitments and to keep momentum between meetings.
