Sally Reid

I am a fully qualified psychotherapist using a variety of approaches depending on the preferences and needs of each individual.  

My expertise is in identifying movement patterns and held body tensions that may be unknown by an individual and held as implicit body memories.  Movement reflects everything about us and can support us in expressing feelings and emotions that we cannot put into words.   We are continually moving through our breath, the way we balance when standing, our use of gestures, the ways in which we respond to stimuli and our habitual patterns.  Just as the mind can influence how we move; our movement can also influence our mind.  By making small changes to the way in which we move we can make gradual shifts in the way we think and feel.   

Everything we do involves movement, and this gives flexibility in how we can work together.  You may choose to talk about your experiences or engage in creative approaches such as artwork, music, visualisation techniques, role play, movement and dance. 

I am able to support adults and adolescents with a range of difficulties.  I am particularly experienced in working with anxiety, depression, obsessive behaviours, and past trauma.  I can support you to gain a better sense of yourself, learn to cope with difficult situations, manage fears and anxieties, and develop more autonomy.

I provide a comfortable therapy space from my home in a quiet location between Lancaster (Lancashire) and Settle (North Yorkshire).  Sessions can be in person or via Zoom.
