A Little About Me…
I
Welcome — I’m Andrew Laidlaw
I’m a professionally qualified counsellor committed to helping people find clarity, confidence, and connection in their lives.
With experience supporting individuals through life’s challenges, I offer a compassionate, non-judgmental space where you can speak freely, explore what’s going on beneath the surface, and begin to make meaningful changes.
Whether you’re facing anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, grief, or simply feeling stuck, I’m here to walk alongside you. I believe that everyone has the capacity for growth and healing — sometimes, we just need the right support to get there.
My Approach
I work in a person-centred and integrative way, tailoring each session to your unique needs. My goal is not to “fix” you — because you are not broken — but to help you reconnect with your inner strength, build resilience, and move forward with greater self-awareness and self-compassion.
Sessions are collaborative and paced at your comfort level. Whether you’re new to counselling or returning after some time away, I’ll meet you where you are.

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.
