Imogen Maynard Smith

In-person therapy available on Mondays 12pm-4pm

I am a qualified and registered psychotherapist with experience working within the charity sector and in private practice. I have worked with children and families for many years, which has given me a deep understanding of childhood experiences and how they carry through into adult life. Through this I have developed great empathy and understanding of the struggles and overwhelming feelings one has when thinking about their past and present life experiences, thoughts, and feelings. I have helped my clients gain greater understanding of themselves, identify the past and present links and enabled them to make sense of them, and work with them in the present moment.

I offer a warm and trusting environment to help you feel comfortable expressing what's on your mind. I know how unpredictable and confusing life can be, as we move through life, we can face many different challenges.

As an integrative therapist I believe we are all unique, I am committed to finding the therapeutic approach that works best for you and your individual needs. I have worked and continue to work with clients from all walks of life and provide a safe, non-judgmental space to explore what might be troubling you. 

I know starting therapy can be daunting but it can also be the most fulfilling and empowering experience. 

I am here to support you in your therapy journey. However hard it might be, you are not alone. I aim to help you build the tools and strength you need to create a life of healing and possibilities. Let’s start that journey together. 

Our first session will consist of us getting to know each other, understanding your therapy needs and what you would like to gain from therapy. 

I will contract with you and if necessary, do an assessment. 

Online sessions only

During our first session I will contract with you and may ask you to complete an assessment. 

Within our first session we will discuss what you would like to get out of therapy and what your expectations of therapy are. 

We will then start to talk and explore your chosen therapy goal and begin to develop our professional relationship. This is a good time to see if we work well together and if you would like to move forward with the sessions.
