Katie Reid

I offer counselling for adults both in person in Ringwood and online, with appointments available on Mondays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays.

Online appointments are generally available on Monday and Wednesday mornings, with in-person sessions offered throughout my working week.

I currently have limited availability for new clients, so please get in touch to discuss suitable appointment times.

I also offer a free 15-minute telephone consultation, giving us an opportunity to talk briefly about what you're looking for and whether I may be the right counsellor for you.

Any planned time away from my practice will always be communicated in advance.

As a humanistic integrative counsellor, I believe that no two people or relationships are the same, so therapy should reflect your individual needs and experiences.

My approach is warm, compassionate and collaborative, offering a safe, non-judgemental space where you can feel heard, understood and supported.

Working in a trauma-informed way, I support individuals in exploring their thoughts, feelings and experiences, recognising patterns and developing a deeper understanding of themselves.

I also work with couples, providing a space to explore relationship difficulties, improve communication and better understand the patterns and dynamics that may be affecting your connection. Rather than focusing on either person individually, our work centres on the relationship and finding ways to move forward together.

Whether working individually or as a couple, my aim is to help you gain greater understanding, explore new perspectives and make meaningful changes at a pace that feels right for you.

I offer a warm, welcoming and confidential space where you can feel comfortable talking openly about whatever has brought you to counselling.

I understand that taking the first step can feel daunting, so our initial meeting is an opportunity for us to get to know one another, explore what you hope to gain from therapy and see whether we feel comfortable working together.

Sessions are guided by your individual needs, with space to explore your experiences at your own pace. I offer in-person counselling in Ringwood and online sessions for adults, providing a supportive environment where you can feel heard, understood and accepted without judgement.

My aim is for you to feel comfortable being yourself, knowing that we will work collaboratively towards what matters most to you.

Our first session is an opportunity for us to get to know one another. We'll explore what has brought you to counselling, what you may be finding difficult and what you hope to gain from our time together. I'll also explain how I work, discuss confidentiality and complete an initial assessment to help me understand your needs.

I believe that feeling safe, heard and understood is an important part of building a trusting therapeutic relationship. There is no pressure to share more than you feel ready to, and we will always work at a pace that feels right for you.

As counselling progresses, we will regularly reflect on how things are going, explore what feels helpful and adapt our work to suit your changing needs.

Most importantly, the first session is a chance for you to decide whether I feel like the right counsellor for you. There is no obligation to continue, and it's perfectly okay to take some time to decide.

I am able to offer supervision both online and in person from Ringwood.

I typically provide either:

Two 45-minute sessions per month (£40 each)

or

One 90-minute session per month (£80)

This can be tailored to suit your individual requirements and needs.

I offer supervision to qualified counsellors, trainee counsellors, and those working in caring or pastoral professions where relational and emotional support is central to the role. 

This includes practitioners in education, faith settings, health and social care, and community organisations. I provide a reflective, collaborative space to support ethical practice, professional development, and emotional wellbeing, whether you are building confidence as a trainee, deepening your clinical work as an experienced counsellor, or seeking thoughtful support alongside a pastoral or caring role.

Supervision is guided by the 7-Eyed Model, which helps us explore your work from multiple perspectives—your clients, your interventions, your relationships, your own responses, the supervisory relationship, my reflections, and the wider context—ensuring our sessions are reflective, insightful, and tailored to your professional development.

In our first supervision session, we will work together to create a collaborative contract. This allows me to understand your goals, priorities, and what you hope to gain from supervision, while setting clear boundaries and expectations.
