About Andrea
Andrea Reid works with stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, self-esteem and career difficulties using a person-centred approach. She is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and has three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom.
She uses Client-Centred Therapy to focus on the person’s own perspective and choices. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is used to look at thinking and behaviour patterns that keep problems going. Psychodynamic ideas help explore longer-standing feelings and relational patterns that may recur in life.
In sessions she aims to recognise each person’s strengths and the knowledge they bring about their situation. She offers a steady, practical way of working that looks at immediate difficulties and longer-term patterns. Conversations cover what matters now and what has led up to it.
Andrea has worked with a range of issues such as panic attacks, postpartum depression, fertility and cancer-related worries, and stresses faced by carers. She also supports people dealing with midlife changes, money worries, hoarding, dissociation and feelings of emptiness.
Sessions look at coping strategies, problem-solving, and small changes people can try between meetings. She helps with parenting challenges and the practical demands that come with pregnancy and childbirth. Language of work is English and sessions are arranged through the service’s booking system.
How these approaches work for remote counselling
Andrea uses Client-Centred Therapy to centre conversations on the person’s own views and choices, helping them make decisions that fit their life. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and to try practical steps that can reduce symptoms such as anxiety or panic.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, then agree a way of working together. That choice can change as needs and priorities develop over time.
Practical benefits of remote sessions include fitting counselling into a busy day and keeping appointments when travel is difficult. If you want to proceed, confirm the available session formats before booking so you know how meetings will be arranged. Registered or accredited professionals can offer remote counselling that supports talking through stress, parenting issues, self-esteem and coping with life changes.
Sessions take place through BetterHelp by video, phone or messaging. We will earn a commission if you sign up.
