Emily Smith, BACP

Emily Smith is a fully qualified person-centred counsellor and psychotherapist who is registered with the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP) and follows their Code of Ethics to guide professional practice. She is committed to supporting people through difficult periods, mental health challenges and journeys of self-discovery, offering a safe, personal and compassionate space to explore whatever is happening for them.

Trained primarily in Person-Centred therapy, she also brings an integrative approach that weaves in eco-therapy, Gestalt methods, Transactional Analysis and creative therapeutic techniques within a person-centred framework. This blend allows sessions to be shaped around each person’s needs rather than fitting clients to a single method.

She is LGBTQ+ friendly and has worked with a wide range of issues, including depression, borderline personality disorder (BPD), anxiety, autism, ADD and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), childhood trauma, self-harm, grief, sexuality concerns, domestic violence, suicide risk, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), sexual trauma, relationship difficulties, low self-esteem, loss of identity, front-line NHS burnout and the challenges of motherhood, among other matters.

Emily is registered under the ICO and works in line with GDPR guidelines to manage personal information appropriately. She welcomes enquiries from people who would like to explore therapy and is happy to discuss how she might support their next steps.
