Kim Bradie - Edinburgh Psychotherapist and Supervisor

I have worked within clinical, therapeutic and educational settings in the NHS, community health projects and third sector organisations since 2004. Over the last 4 years I have divided my time between psychotherapy and working within the NHS, facilitating training in trauma as part of a national programme for Scotland’s workforce.

My experience includes working both short and long-term with a diverse client group, counselling young adults in a specialist service and as an initial assessment counsellor within the third sector. Prior to becoming a counsellor my background was in health. I have a Pg Dip. in Counselling & Psychotherapy and a Pg Cert. in Clinical Supervision for Counselling, Psychotherapy & Helping Relationships. I am currently studying an MSc in Advanced Counselling and Psychotherapy.

I believe strongly in the power of the therapeutic relationship - that when we have a place where all parts are welcome, where we can “hear” from ourselves and be heard, deepening our connection with ourselves - we create space for transformational change and growth.

I have practised yoga since 1999 and see many parallels between yoga and therapy, it is a practice where we can find our edges, make space to hear what our inner landscape is telling us and cultivate a gentler relationship with ourselves. I offer an integration of yoga and psychotherapy to some clients who choose this.
