About Me
I am Dr Erin Reid, a Counselling Psychologist, Systemic Practitioner, and former NHS Service Manager with over 15 years of experience providing therapy and holding clinical leadership roles. Alongside my private practice, I consult for the NHS, local authorities, and the private and voluntary sectors.
Between 2019 and 2026, I served as a lecturer and doctoral research supervisor on the Counselling Psychology and Psychotherapy Doctorate at the Metanoia Institute. I have also been a visiting lecturer on the Counselling Psychology doctoral programmes at City St George's University of London, the University of East London and London Metropolitan University.
My Philosophy and Approach
My practice is grounded in extensive specialist training, allowing me to develop a bespoke psychological formulation tailored uniquely to you. I integrate psychological theory, therapeutic models, active research, and clinical intuition. Above all, I offer an empathic, non-judgmental space where I listen closely and attune to your experiences. This empowers you to explore, understand, and navigate both your past and your present.
I take a truly holistic approach to mental health. I hold a strong personal and professional focus on minority mental health as well as the intricate relationship between nutrition, physical health, and psychological wellbeing. Beyond the therapy room, my own life is grounded in daily walks in nature, alongside a regular yoga and strength training practice. This reflects the seasonal rhythm and balance I that encourage in my clinical work.
