Dr Kim Reid

I am a chartered counselling psychologist with several years experience of working in the NHS and privately.  

As well as holding a doctorate in counselling psychology I have undergone specialist training in cognitive behaviour therapy and schema therapy.

I work flexibly and integratively to match the needs of my clients.  I draw on schema therapy, CBT, compassion focused therapy and psychodynamic therapy in my work. 

In my NHS work, I have experience of working with mood disorders, complex trauma, childhood trauma, interpersonal difficulties and personality disorders.  I have a special interest in working with adults with interpersonal difficulties linked to childhood trauma. 

Our work together would focus on developing a trusting and collaborative relationship to provide a safe place to work together to explore and understand your difficulties.  Depending on what you need from therapy and the time available to us, we could use sessions in various ways such as working towards achievable goals to help you make here and now changes or working through issues from the past to enable you to consider a different way moving forwards.
