Sue Reid

Training, qualifications & experience

I started counselling in 1996 when I began working with Breakthrough for Women, a counselling and information project run by Glasgow City Council. Since then, I’ve worked in a busy GP practice in the NHS, at Napiers Herbal Healthcare, with PCT Glasgow, in the Consulting Rooms in the City Centre and in a designated room in my own home.

I have a CQSW from my days in social work and gained a Diploma in Counselling (person-centred) from the University of Strathclyde in 1999. I’m a registered member of BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy). I was accredited with that organisation for a number of years but it lapsed when I took a couple of years out to pursue other work. However, I still work to the BACP code of ethics and standards and have an independent supervisor to keep me on track. I’m also a member of PCT Scotland.

In addition to this, I am a published author and use my tiny campervan as a creative space and retreat, escaping to the wilds whenever I can. I have two adult children.

Other areas of counselling I deal with

I offer a generic counselling service which responds to whatever you bring, but I also have extensive experience in sexual abuse and trauma.
