Andrea Reid, BACP

Andrea Reid uses client-centred ideas to guide conversations and help people find what matters to them. She explains things in simple language and focuses on each person's strengths. Andrea is based in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration. She has three years of professional experience supporting people through stressful times.

She routinely helps with stress and anxiety. She also supports people dealing with parenting challenges, low self esteem, career uncertainty and major life changes. Practical steps and small experiments are used alongside reflective conversation to make progress between sessions.

Andrea draws on cognitive behavioural therapy to tackle unhelpful thoughts and patterns. She also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at themes that repeat over time. Client-centred work keeps the person’s goals at the heart of sessions and shapes the pace of therapy.

Andrea has worked with concerns across a wide range of life stages and circumstances. These include ageing and geriatric issues, cancer and fertility concerns, caregiver stress, postpartum depression, and difficulties such as hoarding or panic attacks. She also addresses money worries, midlife transitions and issues around self-love.

Sessions are conducted in English. International clients are not currently accepted. Costs vary with location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist’s availability.

How Andrea's approaches work online

Andrea uses client-centred therapy to follow what matters most to the person. This approach encourages people to lead sessions, build on strengths and set goals that feel relevant to their life. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical changes that reduce anxiety and improve coping. Psychodynamic ideas may be drawn on to notice patterns that repeat and to understand how past experience shapes current reactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Andrea will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what has helped or not helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as progress is made, so therapy becomes a collaborative process rather than a fixed set of techniques.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and travel. They also let people choose quieter surroundings, try shorter check-ins when time is limited, or avoid being on camera if that helps them engage. Registered or accredited professionals often find these practical benefits help people maintain regular contact and keep momentum between appointments.
