Jamie Smith

I have some limited availability on Tuesday afternoons, either in person (near White Ladies) or online. If you're interested, please get in touch! 

Starting therapy is a big investment of time and money, and I'm committed to trying to find a way of working together that meets your unique needs and brings about the change you're hoping to see.

You may want to process a difficult experience, manage challenges you're facing in your daily life, come to terms with significant life changes, explore challenges in your relationships, or reconnect with yourself and explore what you want from life. You may not be experiencing any of the above, but feel the pull towards therapy and what it may be able to offer. Whatever your circumstances and reasons for seeking therapy, I will offer a warm and compassionate space for you to explore your experience and experiment with a new way of relating to yourself, your relationships, and your environment.

I have worked with people around depression anxiety, ADHD, low self-esteem, depression, bereavement, personality disorder diagnosis, relationship issues, career issues, burn out, historic trauma, existential issues, and many other experiences. 

I believe therapy has the potential to benefit everyone. I welcome and work with people of all life stages, sexual orientations, gender identities, and cultural backgrounds. 

I am a fully qualified Â鶹ԭ´´-registered therapist working in Bristol and online. My primary training was an integrative Level 7 Counselling and Psychotherapy Master's that taught the Person-Centred, Gestalt, and Psychodynamic approaches to therapy. To improve my practice, I've undertaken additional training to be able to work in a trauma-informed way and to be able to work safely with bodily experience. 

If you’re interested in working together, I offer a free, no-commitment call as an initial step. Beginning therapy can be daunting and all questions about the process are welcome. 

I am trained integratively and draw on a range of therapeutic techniques and approaches to help deepen your awareness. In sessions I may offer reflections, insights, challenges, experiments, and invitations to check in with bodily experiences. 

I will always offer such interventions as invitations, encouraging you to consider how possible or useful such things feel. Over time, I've seen this collaborative way of working help people relate to themselves, their relationships, and their environment in a way that previously felt unimaginable. 

I suggest that as an initial step we meet for a free-of-charge initial call during which you can ask me as many questions as you like about what working together may be like. 

This call also allows me to take note of any needs and preferences you have to make the therapy as accessible as possible.
