Siobhan Smith, NCPS

Siobhan Smith is a qualified counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience and the NCPS credential, which indicates a professional counselling qualification. She specialises in helping adults who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or anxious, particularly when past experiences continue to affect daily life. Siobhan works with people who have often coped alone for a long time and are ready to find clearer, more balanced ways to move forward.

Her practice focuses on stress and anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression, while also offering support for issues such as attachment concerns, abandonment, body image, caregiver stress, communication problems, divorce and separation, and life purpose. She has experience helping clients safely explore and reprocess difficult or traumatic memories to reduce emotional distress and regain a sense of direction and resilience.

Siobhan adapts her approach to each individual rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model. Her work is grounded in warmth, respect, and collaboration, and she combines thoughtful, honest reflection with practical strategies. She is fully trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) and uses this technique where appropriate to help reprocess traumatic memories and reduce anxiety.

Clients can expect a calm, non-judgemental space where they are supported at a pace that feels right for them. Siobhan meets people where they are and works collaboratively to create personalised plans that reflect their needs, goals, and strengths. She accepts international clients and is available to support those seeking compassionate, trauma-informed care and greater self-confidence.

EMDR and trauma-informed approaches delivered online

Siobhan brings evidence-based trauma work to online appointments, including EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing). EMDR helps clients reprocess distressing memories and reduce the intensity of anxious or traumatic reactions by using structured protocols that target how memories are stored in the brain. This approach can be helpful for trauma, distressing life events, and persistent emotional patterns.

She also uses trauma-informed, attachment-aware methods that explore how past relationships and experiences shape present thoughts, feelings, and ways of relating. This work focuses on building safety, understanding patterns, and developing healthier ways of connecting with oneself and others, which can support improvements in self-esteem, relationships, and emotional regulation.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Siobhan works collaboratively with clients to identify what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. Registered professionals tailor sessions and pace to each person, adjusting techniques as therapy progresses.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - appointments can take place via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to access consistent support from wherever you are. This range of formats helps clients balance therapy with work, family, and other commitments while maintaining continuity of care.
