Jamie Smith

I currently have availability to see people online on Monday afternoon, Wednesday morning, and Wednesday evening. 

From August, I will have availability to see people in person (based in Clifton) on Wednesday afternoons. 

You may have a clear idea of what you want to bring to therapy or there may be more of a vague sense of wanting space to talk; whatever the circumstances, I will create a safe and compassionate environment to help you to explore what feels important in a way that feels useful.

I am trained integratively and can draw on different approaches to help form our unique way of working together. Whether we are together for a short number of sessions or working open-endedly, I will suggest we have periodic reviews to make sure the therapy is meeting your needs.

I believe passionately that counselling has the potential to benefit everyone and therefore shouldn't be the preserve of only a small part of society. I welcome and want to work with people of all life experiences, life stages, sexual orientations, gender identities, and cultural backgrounds. 

In our time together I will hold space for you to explore what you need to. If it feels useful, I may offer reflections, insights, challenges, experiments, or activities that might help broaden awareness of your experience. 

As we get to know one another, I hope to build a trusting, unique way of working that allows you to get what you need from therapy - this is a collaborative effort that we can attend to together. 

I suggest that as an initial step we meet for a free-of-charge half hour session (either on Zoom or in person). This allows you to get a sense of how I work and ask any questions you might have.
