Gwendoline Smith

I am currently not available on Monday and Thursday.  Please contact me with your availability for other days in the week.

I am an accredited, registered member of BACP.  My counselling training was integrative, covering humanistic and existential modes, psychodynamic, relational and cognitive behavioural therapy among others.  I have worked with young people and adults both face to face, on line and via telephone.  I am also experienced in using interpreters in the counselling room or in online sessions.  I have extensive experience supporting British Armed Forces veterans and their families.  I am able to work with individuals with disabilities including neurodivergence, those coming to terms with grief and loss, bereavement, life stressors, anxiety, low mood, anger, sleep disturbances, and life changes.

You can either contact me by telephone, email or text message and we can arrange an initial discussion about your needs and expectations, and agree the way forward.  If you decide to go forward with counselling, we will agree times, dates, and ways of working in our initial discussion. 

I am not available on Monday and Thursday, but I am flexible on the other days of the week.  If you have a particular requirement due to your availability, please let me know, and I will contact you to agree times and dates. 

My counselling experience includes working face to face, online and via the telephone.  My counselling style is integrative using the core beliefs of the humanistic styles, plus tools from other approaches such as existential, psychodynamic, relational and pragmatic approaches.
