Hello, I am Andrew, an accomplished and experienced therapeutic counsellor specializing in Person Centred Therapy. With a Level 5 Advanced Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling and over a decade of practice since 2011, I bring a wealth of knowledge and compassion to my work.
In addition to academic training, I bring real-world experience gained through volunteering with a charity dedicated to victims of sexual abuse and violence. This invaluable work has enriched my understanding of trauma and resilience, further shaping my compassionate and empathetic approach.
Furthermore, my training has exposed me to a diverse range of clients, many of whom were navigating the complex terrain of bereavement and grief. This broadened perspective allows me to tailor my non-directive approach to meet the unique needs of individuals facing various challenges in life.
I am deeply passionate about creating a safe and supportive space for my clients, drawing upon my comprehensive training and diverse experiences. I believe in creating a safe and non-judgmental space where individuals can explore their thoughts and feelings at their own pace.
I am passionate about fostering a genuine connection with my clients, recognizing their unique experiences and perspectives. Through active listening and empathy, I aim to empower individuals on their journey towards self-discovery and personal growth.
Whether you're navigating challenges, seeking self-understanding, or simply in need of a supportive space, I am here to accompany you on your therapeutic journey. Let's work together to explore, understand, and facilitate positive change in your life.

I worked with Andrew for several months on one very specific relationship issue of mine.
I felt immediately accepted and understood and I was able to overcome a lot of shame and confusion around this issue in a very short time.
I was looking forward to our sessions every week and I’m going to miss his compassionate and smart insights. If I ever need to work through something with the help of therapy, I’m hoping I get to work with Andrew again.

I highly recommend Andrew Reid as a counsellor. He is professional, empathetic and very human in his approach. He shows a very high level of understanding with no judgment. He has helped me through a very difficult time in my life and I am very grateful to have met him and for his support. He regularly checks in out of sessions and has on occasion adjusted session times to accommodate need.
Thank Andrew for just being you - you made it so comfortable and easy to open up my deepest thoughts to you. I wish you well in anything you wish to pursue in life and thank you for contributing to making me whole again.
Kind Regards
Mal K
