A warm, humanistic approach to counselling, shaped around you and your relationships.
I’m Katie Reid, a qualified psychotherapeutic counsellor and registered member of the BACP, based in Ringwood. I work with individuals and couples, supporting people through a wide range of emotional and relationship difficulties.
My approach is humanistic and integrative, which means I draw upon different ways of working rather than believing one approach fits everyone. At the heart of my work is the relationship we build and creating a space where you can feel comfortable enough to explore what is happening for you.
I don’t believe therapy is about someone else having all the answers. It’s about having the space to talk, reflect, untangle what feels complicated and begin to see the bigger picture.
Before becoming a counsellor, I spent many years working within holistic therapies, which helped shape my interest in the connection between mind and body.
Today, my work is informed by humanistic and integrative therapy, alongside my understanding of trauma, attachment, the nervous system and relationships.
I adapt the way I work to the person—or people—in front of me, rather than expecting you to fit a particular model of therapy.


Ongoing learning is an important part of my practice. I regularly undertake further training, attend professional workshops and engage in clinical supervision to ensure my work remains ethical, reflective and informed by current practice.
I am a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and also engage with professional networks, peer support and continuing professional development.
