Josie Smith

I am sorry that I don’t have any current availability. I will update this page when I am able to take enquiries again. If you are interested in being added to my waiting list then please get in touch, however please note I am only able to take waiting list enquiries for day time face to face appointments on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Many thanks.

I strongly believe we all have the capacity for healing but sometimes this can be really hard; this is where counselling can help you to reconnect with what is most important to you, and to find your own sense of well-being. I offer a safe, warm, non-judgemental, compassionate and confidential space to explore anything that has brought you to therapy, helping you to achieve a greater understanding of self and work towards any personal goals you might have. My approach is humanistic, with a background in Person Centred Therapy and Transactional Analysis. This means that I will tailor my approach as best suited to each individual.

My specialism is working with trauma and all types of abuse, and I have a strong interest in how past experiences can affect our present relationships, using Transactional Analysis. However I am very happy working with a wide range of issues, or you may not really know what you want to work on, just that you need to talk, that is fine too!

I am offering face to face counselling for £45 for each 50 minute session on Wednesdays and Thursdays (day time only). I am also offering online counselling for £45 per 50 minute session (Thursday evening only).

I offer a £5 discount per session for low income, unemployed, students and trainees.

Please do not hesitate to get in touch with any questions you might have, and to discuss your needs prior to booking an appointment.

I offer private therapy appointments on Wednesdays (day time - face to face) and Thursdays (day time - face to face, and evening - online.

I offer an initial telephone conversation which lasts around 15 minutes before the first session. This is not a therapy appointment, but is to find out more about your needs, to see if we can work together, and to answer any questions you may have.
