About me
I work with clients using an online platform and I am only taking on clients aged 16 plus. I currently have space for two new clients.
My name is Robyn Spice-Reid and I am a qualified psychotherapist.
Using a cognitive behavioural framework I specialise in the treatment of anxiety disorders, low mood, trauma, issues facing the LGBTQ+ community, sports performance and stress.
I am an LGBTQIA+ inclusive therapist. I have worked closely with teenagers and adults who identify as part of the LGBTQIA+ community in their journey to discover their authentic selves.
I have worked with adults, teenagers and children and have experience in a number of different areas including trauma, anxiety disorders and depression. My clinical education has included focused studies in gender and body image, CBT theory, IFS theory, EMDR, sports performance and stressors, group therapy, the impact of trauma on the LGBTQ+ community, and trauma response. As a therapist, I look to show acceptance, genuineness, and empathy. I believe that each of us has the capacity to work through our suffering and has the potential to turn this into resilience and growth.
Within a therapy session, I use a variety of different approaches including EMDR Therapy. However, a key theme of therapy is noticing physical sensations within the body and using curiosity to explore emotions, thoughts, and behaviours. I believe a fundamental part of healing is allowing ourselves to fully experience our emotions.
All sessions will take place using an online platform or telephone. Since the beginning of the pandemic, this has been an excellent way to make sure individuals receive the support they are looking for. If you have any questions regarding this please feel free to email me.
Training, qualifications & experience
I have a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Stirling and a Master of Philosophy degree in Body Image and Gender Identity from the University of Stirling. I have a SCOTACS Diploma in CBT Counselling and Groupwork from The Centre of Therapy and Counselling Studies in Glasgow, and I am a fully qualified cognitive behavioural therapist.
I am a trainee EMDR Therapist and look to offer EMDR sessions from August 2024.
I have completed a certificate in Psychosexual Therapy at the Contemporary Institute of Clinical Sexology.
As an MBACP Accredited therapist, I am required to participate in ongoing continued education and personal development which help to develop my ability to practice in a way that is aligned with the latest research in the field.
Getting Started with Therapy
Knowing how to get started with therapy can be really daunting. For more information about sessions then please feel free to email me at robyn.c.spice@gmail.com
I can then send you a little more information regarding therapy or arrange a call to discuss what you would like to get out of therapy, how the process works and any questions you have.
Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
