Christopher Smith

I am an experienced integrative counsellor in SE London, supporting clients with painful, confusing feelings or difficult issues to address. I would particularly like to reach out to those who are possibly apprehensive about taking that first step towards counselling, fearing it may be too intrusive or demanding. Please be assured, that following a session with me, you will most likely feel at ease and relatively relieved to have begun a journey of self understanding and recovery. My style is down to earth and compassionate with your wellbeing the only priority. The room where we meet, is a welcoming, safe space where you will supported and understood at a time when you may most need it. Our work together will begin with us discussing what is going on for you and what you would like to achieve in our sessions going forward. My training allows me to draw upon a range of therapeutic models and proven theories to help you gain clarity into the ways people and events have shaped the way you think, feel and behave. The counselling process will nurture your personal growth, and, with a greater sense of authenticity, agency and perspective you will be able to take control of a more meaningful life. As a first step, may I suggest you contact me so we can arrange a time to meet for a first session, when you are most welcome to ask any other questions about me or the process. I am flexible over appointment times and will see you at your convenience. I look forward to hearing from you.
