About Gavin Reid

Gavin Reid is a fully qualified integrative counsellor who places a person-centred approach at the heart of his practice. He offers an affirming, non-judgmental space for people working through questions of identity, relationships, sexual health, and emotional wellbeing, with particular focus on LGBTQ+ individuals and those affected by sexualised drug use and addiction.

Drawing on extensive experience within LGBTQ+ communities and his own lived experience, he recognises the impact of stigma, shame, and the complexities of intimacy and connection. His work adapts to each person by combining elements from different therapeutic methods - including cognitive-behavioural techniques, transactional analysis, and mindfulness - while keeping person-centred values central so the pace and direction of therapy are set by the individual.

Gavin aims to support self-acceptance, resilience, and practical change that aligns with each person's values and life circumstances. He holds a foundation degree in counselling, a diploma in Gender, Sex and Relationship Diversity Therapy, and additional qualifications for working with trauma. He also holds BACP, which indicates membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
