Andrew Laidlaw Counselling

A Little About Me…

I’m a registered counsellor dedicated to helping people navigate life’s challenges with compassion, clarity, and confidence. Whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply seeking a deeper understanding of yourself, I offer a safe and supportive space where you can explore your thoughts and feelings openly.

What’s My Approach

I believe that meaningful change begins with feeling truly seen and heard. My counselling style is warm, collaborative, and grounded in respect. I draw from evidence-based practices, including person-centered therapy, cognitive-behavioral techniques, and mindfulness-based strategies—tailoring each session to your unique needs and goals.

Together, we’ll work to understand what’s going on beneath the surface and move toward a life that feels more aligned, empowered, and fulfilling.

A Little More About Me

Before becoming a counsellor, I spent time working in Care as a Health Care Assistant. This experience deepened my understanding of human connection, vulnerability, and the importance of mental health. I’m passionate about helping others build self-awareness and find strength in their stories.

When I’m not in the counselling room, you’ll often find me walking on Dartmoor, following my local Football Team or listening to music.

Let’s Connect

Taking the first step toward counselling can be tough, but you don’t have to do it alone. If you’re curious about working together, I’d love to hear from you. Feel free to reach out to schedule a free initial consultation or ask any questions.
