Scott Reid

Hi I am Scott and I am an experienced counsellor and can provide appointments through face to face, telephone and online. I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and follow their Ethical Framework.

You have taken a huge step on dealing with the challenges you are facing by seeking counselling. I understand that this can be daunting so it’s important that you find someone that you feel you can work with and can trust. I offer a safe and confidential space where you can explore the issues you want to face without judgment. I won’t be here to fix you but I can walk with in your journey while you explore your thoughts and feelings and find the new paths you want to go on. 

I have experience working with clients with alcohol and gambling addictions, I also work with clients dealing with depression, anxiety, bereavement, work stress and many other problems that people have to face.

I can currently offer clients that are affected by gambling as well as their loved ones free help and support through advice and or counselling as required. These would initially be 6 to 12 sessions depending on the needs you have.

I also have a keen interest in working with parents that are coping with the stresses of raising kids with additional needs. This comes from my own experience of being a parent of a child with ASD and I am aware support is limited for parents in dealing with the impacts it can have on you or the wider family.

I work with teenagers and young people who have either an ASD diagnosis or are going through the process of waiting for a diagnosis. Teenage years can already be a struggle but being neurodiverse can add additional struggles in the mix. Therapy aims us to reduce stigma and can benefit children's thinking and learning differences that will help them going forward.

Please feel free to contact me by phone or email and we can arrange an initial telephone consultation before you decide if you want to arrange an appointment.

Initial telephone consultation is free of charge. The initial assessment and gives you a chance to decide if we can work together and it also gives you a chance to ask any questions you may have.

Free sessions available for those affected by gambling and any loved ones. (Time Limited and subject to an initial assessment)

£45 per session for face to face and £35 per session for online or telephone counselling.

There is a cancellation fee of £25 for face to face and £20 online/telephone appointments if cancelled within 24hrs or less of the appointment time.
