About Andrea
Andrea Reid is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, self-esteem, career challenges and coping with life changes. Andrea works with young adults facing early-adulthood pressures such as navigating first jobs, study, money worries and relationship shifts.
Her style is grounded in listening and building from a person's existing strengths. She treats people as the experts on their own lives and helps them notice what already works. Sessions aim to clarify problems, try practical steps and review what helps over time.
Andrea draws on client-centred methods to keep sessions person-led, cognitive behavioural techniques to tackle unhelpful thinking and psychodynamic ideas to look at deeper patterns. She uses these approaches to address anxiety, panic, low self-worth and life transitions like becoming a parent or changing careers.
She has worked with issues linked to ageing, cancer and caregiver stress, and supports people dealing with fertility, pregnancy, postpartum mood changes and bereavement-type family problems. Other areas she has experience in include hoarding behaviours, dissociation, emptiness, money stresses, smoking or vaping cessation and midlife crises.
Sessions are conducted in English. Andrea does not take international clients at this time. To begin, clients complete a short questionnaire and then schedule a first session through the site’s matching and booking process.
How Andrea uses therapy approaches online
Andrea draws on client-centred therapy to keep sessions focused on the person’s priorities. This means the counsellor listens closely, reflects what matters to the client and helps them make decisions based on their own values and strengths.She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy or CBT to spot patterns of thinking that feed anxiety or low mood. CBT breaks problems into clear parts and tries small, practical experiments to reduce panic, change unhelpful thoughts and build coping skills.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Andrea will talk with the client about goals and preferences and then suggest methods to try. That choice is collaborative and can change as progress is reviewed.
The profile does not specify which online formats are provided, so please confirm available session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling around study, shifts and short breaks, and it can allow quieter check-ins or sessions without needing extra travel time. Registered or accredited professionals can use different ways of meeting, and Andrea will discuss what fits day-to-day life during the first contact.
