About Gavin Reid
Drawing on his own lived experience alongside professional training, Gavin understands the complex effects of stigma, shame and challenges around intimacy and connection. He combines a person-led stance with a flexible set of therapeutic techniques so each plan is adjusted to the person in front of him rather than fitting the person to a single method.
Gavin holds BACP, a recognised professional counselling membership, a foundation degree in counselling, a diploma in Gender, Sex and Relationship Diversity Therapy, and additional qualifications in working with trauma. These qualifications support his work with issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship and attachment difficulties, codependency, and challenges around identity and sexual expression.
His aim is to help clients build self-acceptance, resilience and meaningful change in ways that align with their values and lived experiences. Therapy with Gavin is collaborative and paced to the individual, so people feel heard, valued and empowered to move forward.

Client-Centered and Mindfulness Therapy Online
Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a respectful, empathetic space where the client leads the pace and direction of work. Gavin uses this approach to support people exploring identity, relationships and self-worth, helping them feel listened to and understood while they find their own solutions.
Mindfulness therapy involves simple practices that increase awareness of thoughts, emotions and bodily sensations in the present moment. These techniques can help with stress, anxiety and regulation of strong emotions by teaching practical ways to respond rather than react.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the journey, and Gavin approaches this collaboratively. He will work with each person to identify which methods feel most helpful based on their needs, goals and preferences, adapting the approach over time as things change.
Online therapy with Gavin is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules. This flexibility supports ongoing access to care from home or elsewhere and allows clients to choose the format that best suits their comfort and communication style.
