About Andrea
Andrea Reid offers a gentle, person-focused style of therapy. She works from the view that clients know their own stories and brings three years of practice to help people find clearer ways forward. She uses everyday language and practical steps so sessions feel direct and easy to follow.
Andrea supports people coping with stress and anxiety. She helps with parenting challenges, low self-esteem and difficulties at work. She also helps people managing life transitions and decisions about career direction.
How Andrea works
Her work includes attention to a wide range of concerns. These include panic attacks, postpartum depression and pregnancy and childbirth related stress. She also works with issues such as bereavement tied to cancer, caregiver strain, fertility worries, ageing and geriatric concerns, and money or financial stress.
Andrea draws on Client-Centred Therapy to build a trusting space where people can speak openly. She uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and try practical changes. She also brings psychodynamic ideas to help understand repeated patterns and earlier influences.
Sessions are offered in English and run online by video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging. Andrea is based in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration. To begin, a short matching questionnaire helps pair a person with the right therapist and a session can then be scheduled according to availability.

Approaches online and how they help
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person's experience. The counsellor offers acceptance and reflection so people feel able to speak honestly and find their own solutions; this helps with low self-esteem and parenting stress.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together. It teaches practical exercises to reduce anxiety, manage panic and change unhelpful habits in day-to-day life.
Psychodynamic ideas help uncover patterns that repeat over time and link current struggles to earlier life events. This approach can be useful when someone wants to understand why certain reactions keep recurring.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. The therapist will work together with each person to choose what fits their goals, needs and style. Sessions may blend methods and be adjusted over time as progress is made.
Online sessions come via video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls let people see facial cues and have a fuller conversation. Phone sessions use less data and suit shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging offer flexibility for those who prefer writing or need to fit communication into a busy day. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, family and travel.
