Doug Reid - New Horizons - Psychotherapeutic Counselling

As a counsellor with over 32 years experience, I offer you a safe, non-judgmental and confidential space to address uncomfortable and difficult feelings. Working with you, in equal partnership, my approach strengthens your awareness of thoughts, feelings and your reactions. By recognising and understanding your choices, past and present, I support you to live life as the person you truly are. You can let go of struggling to be somebody or something you are not, free yourself from outworn beliefs and release crippling self-judgements. Changes can be made by exploring what you are experiencing and how you are experiencing, rather than focusing on why. For example, in childhood, we develop coping strategies to deal with painful, confusing or traumatic events. These ways of coping may have been effective at the time but, as adults, they can inhibit us from being as happy, successful or liberated as we might be.
