Andrea Reid

Andrea Reid is a counsellor who uses client-centred work to help people with stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, self-esteem and career worries. She holds registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and has three years of professional experience. Andrea speaks English and works from the United Kingdom.

She starts by listening to each person's story and identifying the strengths already there. Sessions focus on practical steps people can use between meetings. Andrea aims to make the therapy room a place for steady progress, not quick fixes.

Andrea draws on cognitive behavioural ideas when anxious thoughts or unhelpful patterns are getting in the way. That gives people clear tools to test beliefs and try new behaviours. She also uses psychodynamic thinking to notice long-standing patterns that affect relationships and self-image.

Her approach is collaborative - she and the client set goals together and review what helps. Work and wellbeing concerns such as job stress, motivation and confidence are a common focus, alongside life changes like becoming a parent or coping with loss.

Practical matters such as managing panic attacks, dealing with grief around serious illness, or coping with caregiver stress are handled in straightforward terms. Andrea encourages small, sustainable changes and supports clients as they practise new ways of coping.
