LinReid Counselling – British Columbia Claimed

LinReid Counselling iis in Nanaimo, British Columbia.

LinReid offers expert treatment for stress, depression, anxiety, couples issues, and family/parenting concerns, both in-person and online. With over 20 years of experience in clinical counseling and family therapy, I am dedicated to providing comprehensive support to clients through a holistic and evidence-based approach.

I specialize in Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC), and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), which are designed to help manage stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship difficulties. My approach is deeply informed by 35 years of Buddhist psychology and practice, enriching the therapeutic work and fostering meaningful connections with clients.

In addition to in-person sessions, LinReid Counselling offers virtual counseling services to ensure accessibility for clients across various locations. My practice addresses a broad spectrum of issues, including substance misuse, compulsive behaviors, grief, and loss. I provide support and guidance for families in transition and offer strategies for self-care to handle chronic stress, fatigue, burnout, and physical illness.

Our focus extends to improving relationship skills, enhancing communication, emotional and physical intimacy, and resolving power struggles. We also offer comprehensive treatment for physical, emotional, and sexual trauma. For personal growth and development, I use creative techniques such as art, journaling, meditation, and breath work, while exploring influences from your family of origin and enhancing self-esteem and personal effectiveness.

I am Linda Reid, with a BA in Psychology from Simon Fraser University, a Two-Year Graduate Diploma from the Vancouver Art Therapy Institute, a Masters of Education in Counselling Psychology from the University of Victoria, a Diploma in Addictions Counselling from Vancouver Community College, and a Diploma in Family Systems Counselling from the Satir Institute of the Pacific. I am a member of the British Columbia Association of Clinical Counsellors and the Canadian Art Therapy Association.
