Zoe Smith

I specialise in:

• Long-term or short-term counselling

• Living with neurodiversity or newly diagnosed (ADHD/Autism)

• Anxiety, low mood and depression

• Self-esteem and confidence

• Stress management and boundary setting

• Life transitions / feeling stuck

• Professional / family and romantic relationship issues

• Narcissistic abuse recovery. 

My Approach:

The situation you find yourself in isn’t always personal; I’d like to invite you to look beyond the individual and examine the system and structures that shape your life. I ensure my work is culturally affirming and not limited to ‘British concepts’ of healing. I welcome all cultures, beliefs, forms of entertainment, arts, and literature to the space, because, after all, our version of healing is diverse.

I would be deeply honoured if you chose to work with me and to invite me along your healing journey. If you’re ready to explore, I’m ready to listen.

I’m a therapist who helps people understand how to navigate relationships of all kinds – from friendships, family, professional, and romantic relationships. I believe that the fundamentals of our relationship blueprints begin in early childhood, where we first create a ‘way to live or cope.’ The way we make these shapes is the foundation of all our relational experiences, but what if those foundations are no longer practical? 

Cost:

My standard session rate for individuals is £70 for a 50-minute session. I appreciate that counselling is a huge commitment in terms of both time and money, and I will do my best to help you get the most out of this investment in yourself.

Time and Place:

I can offer flexibility regarding online or face-to-face sessions.

How can I support:

I work with people who are finding relationships or life in general difficult, and or feeling like they live life in the same old patterns and want to find a way to change them. Whether that’s with family, partners, friends or professionally. Maybe you want to strengthen the relationship you have with yourself.  

Free Initial Consultation:

Our initial contact will be over the phone or online for around 15/20 minutes. Whichever feels most comfortable for you. It is a free, informal consultation during which we can get to know each other and discuss your expectations and goals for therapy.

The First Session:

The first sessions focus on building rapport, discussing goals and expectations, and addressing any concerns. It's an opportunity to discuss what's going on in your life and decide if we're a good fit for each other. 

Please feel free to use this time to ask questions or share concerns.
