Therapy Approach
Psychotherapy aims to bring about changes in one's personality or self. Individuals may face similar problems repeatedly in different contexts and relationships. Therapy helps individuals focus on these issues, gain a better understanding of themselves, and change deep-seated patterns of behaviour. Over time, psychotherapy can help clients alleviate distress, enhance their overall well-being, regain balance, and develop a greater sense of control and agency.

A conversation with Reed Everingham
-
During my early twenties, I had my first encounter with psychotherapy. Working with a wonderful practitioner for several years profoundly imprinted on me. For the first time, I truly understood what it felt like to repair, grow, and change. 30+ years later, this experience set me on a path of personal development to understand myself and others better. As a result, I pursued studies in relational and person-centred therapies and obtained postgraduate qualifications in Counselling & Psychotherapy.
-
I enjoy the idea that existence is an embodied experience and that we can learn and grow by connecting our thoughts with feelings grounded in the body. This connection between mind and body is fundamental to most change processes. This approach helps me live a more authentic and self-determined life, especially when facing challenges. Buddhism has also had a significant impact on my life. My non-theistic approach to this philosophy has helped me find a sense of balance in my day-to-day life. Mindfulness and compassion practices are essential in therapy and can help us understand and address the root causes of distress.
-
I am intrigued by all stages of the human experience and work with diverse clients. However, I am particularly interested in those moments where we may feel stuck or lost. If life is about being in a state of flow, then my work is centred around helping individuals move from a place of distress to a position filled with purpose, connection, and forward momentum.
-
My therapeutic approach is grounded in person-cantered and trauma-informed methodologies. Additionally, my practice is influenced by theories of mindfulness, Attachment Theory, and counselling psychology.
-
I believe that once a client feels heard, seen, and understood without judgment, transformation can begin. Progress is different for everyone and may not always be obvious. However, when a client feels safe to explore their feelings and distress, progress is being made. The act of reaching out for help is often the first step in the change process and can already signify progress. As a result, clients may start to feel that progress is being made from the very first or second session.

I have done individual therapy and couples therapy with my partner. I have studied and read extensively, and I love the calm that comes from knowing myself better. I don’t oscillate as wildly as I used to, and I now mostly feel grounded, focused and on path. I’m more aware of my patterns and acknowledge the need for ongoing reflective practice. Finally, I am gentler with myself when I get it wrong, self-compassion being central to my daily practice.
-
It is an honour and a privilege to be in the therapy chair. I cultivate safe, open client relationships and witness their joy and pain. It humbles me to see people work so hard to grow and change, better themselves, and step into the flow of their lives with meaning and purpose. People are a unique and never-ending source of inspiration.
-
Yes, both literally and metaphorically! Like everyone else, I am broken yet beautiful. I strive to stay authentic, feel my emotions, and lead a fulfilling life. However, life can be unpredictable, and we all carry emotional baggage. On days when I feel down, I try to stay present, learn from my experiences, and view them as part of my journey rather than the end goal. Every day is an opportunity to learn and grow.
-
In the Western world, many of us struggle to find meaning in our daily lives. We are bombarded with messages from the media that make us feel inadequate, and it can be a challenge to care for ourselves and others while also contributing positively to society and the planet. One of the main reasons for this struggle is that we have lost sight of the fact that every life is unique and valuable and that each of us has the power to shape the world we live in.

This question is challenging as life is full of wonder and inspired moments. Reflecting on the human condition, one of my all-time favourite films is Little Miss Sunshine (2006). It touches on so much - what it means to be vulnerable, to trust, to experience joy, to break down, to regret, grow, change, triumph, and finally dance like no one\'s watching... I could go on.
The natural world is a constant source of inspiration for me. I walked the Milford Track on the South Island of New Zealand, an experience that will stay with me for a long time. As I zigzagged my way up the side of the mountain to the summit and later down the mossy, wild track, I could drop into my quiet, Tolkien-inspired world. It was both physically demanding and spiritually expansive - a wonder-filled and inspirational journey!
