Kim Bradie - Edinburgh Counsellor & Psychotherapist

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.

I have a Post Graduate Diploma in Counselling & Psychotherapy and have experience working both short and long-term with a diverse range of adults, within a specialist young people’s service and as an initial assessment counsellor in an Edinburgh organisation. I have completed year one of an MSc in Advanced Counselling and Psychotherapy, which includes Compassion Focused Therapy and Clinical Supervision training.

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, and deepen 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.
