Juliet Smart, BACP

Juliet Smart is a UK-credentialed therapist with four years of professional experience who supports people navigating identity, loss, and self-worth challenges. She holds BACP credentials - membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and brings a practical, compassionate approach to her work.

Juliet has particular experience assisting people with LGBTQ+ related issues, coping with grief and loss, and building motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. She focuses on helping individuals articulate their thoughts and feelings and on developing realistic steps toward their goals. Her practice emphasizes listening without judgement and creating a welcoming space where difficult topics can be explored.

Juliet recognises that seeking therapy often requires courage and a readiness to change. She encourages anyone considering support to take that first step and offers steady, professional guidance to help them move forward with greater clarity and resilience.

Evidence-based techniques and online support

Juliet uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person she works with. One common strand of her approach is skills-focused work that helps people manage anxiety, low mood, and stress by learning practical strategies for emotional regulation and day-to-day coping. These techniques aim to reduce overwhelming symptoms and increase a person’s sense of control and confidence.

She also offers grief-focused and emotion-processing support that helps clients explore loss, work through complex feelings, and find ways to adapt after bereavement or major life changes. This kind of work is useful for people who need a safe space to make sense of difficult experiences and rebuild meaning.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic journey, and Juliet works collaboratively with each client to identify the methods that best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Online therapy with Juliet is available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules and varying communication styles. These options make it easier to access regular support without travelling, and they allow clients to choose the format that feels most comfortable for them.
