Andrew Smith

Thank you for reading my profile.

I am a qualified psychotherapist, family therapist, and academic. I combine all these skills within practice. I also deliver various training programmes, and am a member of:

European Society for Psychological Stress Studies

BACP

Society for Psychotherapy Research

European Association for Psychotherapy

The International Centre for Therapeutic Care

Institute for Recovery from Child TraumaUK Psychological Trauma Society

I am an alumni of Scarborough Psychotherapy Training Institute, the University of York, and about to complete doctoral research at the University of Chester. I have researched extensively the process of effective therapeutic recovery. I have a range of publications, alongside extensive training and lecturing experience.  I continue to lecture at the University of Salford. 

In terms of practice, I work integratively; I use a wide selection of tools, training, and experience to ensure I help clients as effectively as possible. I have particular experience and expertise around recovery from trauma, gender dysmorphia, addiction, sexuality, loss, identity, and anger. I work with all genders and pronouns, and respect alternative approaches to life and being.

Finally, I am the clinical director of a company that provides psychotherapy, counselling, supervision, and training to individuals, families, and couples. We have a well fitted therapeutic suite based in the centre of Hebden Bridge, UK, a short distance from Manchester and Leeds.  

If you are a therapist, and would benefit working under the umbrella of an organisation such as ours, please also feel free to get in touch and begin dialogue with us.

I am also a qualified yoga teacher and buddhist meditation practitioner.

I am an experienced clinical supervisor, and have worked with children, their families, and adults, for over twenty years. 

I have experience of supervising social workers, psychotherapists, and counsellors.
