Imogen Smith

*I am currently only working online for London based clients* 

I'm Imogen and I am a person centred therapist.

 I welcome you to come and explore what is troubling you in a comfortable and safe space. I prioritise communication and connection, allowing clients to be truly seen and heard often for the first time in their life. To me, therapy is about making you the master of your own life to help you navigate through difficult feelings and experiences as they come up. My sessions can feel often very subtle in approach but can have life changing results. You set the pace. You have the power.

I tailer each session to your needs and your unique view of the word. I won't tell you what to think. I'm here to help you make sense of who you are and it is my job to help you to get back in the driving seat. 

Experience has taught me that therapy isn't always about finding the right words. Sometimes, it’s about the simple, powerful act of sitting with another person so they know they are not alone.

I often work with people who are struggling with difficult life transitions which are impacting their mental health. Together we can work through what it is that is causing you to feel unbalanced or overwhelmed. This may be a new job, a divorce, being a parent, life after death, moving home and many more...

 I want to let you know that life can feel better again because this is just a new chapter, not the end of the story. 

About me

Let’s be honest: most of us are taught to just "deal with it" or push things down until they blow up. But ignoring the pressure, stress, or anger doesn’t make it go away—it just burns you out and strains your relationships.

So many of us carry painful emotions, worries, or a persistent sense of uncertainty that keeps us from feeling content and at ease. You might be feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, struggling in a relationship, feeling stuck in your career, or wrestling with low self-esteem. Whatever you are bringing, my priority is to offer a safe, confidential space where you feel genuinely heard, respected, and understood.Taking the step to look for support can feel daunting, but you don't have to navigate things on your own

While my practice is rooted in a Person-Centred approach—meaning you are always in control of the direction and pace—I adapt to you by incorporating tools from Transactional Analysis, CBT, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Attachment Theory.

As a registered member of the BACP, I work to the highest ethical and professional standards, ensuring your autonomy and safety are always protected. Everything we discuss is strictly confidential, providing a secure, dependable space for you to unpack whatever you are carrying.

If you are ready to change for the better and figure out a better way forward on your own terms, reach out today for a brief, no-pressure chat to see if we are the right fit.

Training, qualifications & experience

My journey began four years ago working in psychiatric care, supporting individuals facing addiction and acute mental illness. It was there that I witnessed the astounding impact therapy can have when a person is truly heard. I learned that recovery begins with a safe, real relationship. Because of this, my approach centers entirely on what you need as an individual. By listening to your story without judgment, we can build the trust necessary to figure out what you need in the moment.

Our first session together will involve going over the contract and you telling me about whats troubling you. This is your space to let go of everything you've been holding in.
