Online Counselling with Gill Smith
(Anxiety-Stress-Depression-Grief)
​ "I am not what happened to me,
I am what I choose to become."
Carl Jung
​Feel overwhelmed, stressed, anxious or depressed?
These struggles are often linked to perfectionism, self-doubt, and people-pleasing. I can help you untangle them so you can live with more clarity and self-compassion.
Anxiety, stress, overwhelm, and depression can gradually shape how life feels. You might notice constant tension, mental fatigue, or a sense of emotional heaviness that doesn’t easily lift. Even when things look “fine” from the outside, inside you may feel unsettled, low, or stretched beyond your limits.
You may find yourself overthinking, questioning your decisions, or feeling pressure to keep going despite feeling depleted. Some days it can feel hard to switch off, while other days you may feel flat, disconnected, or worn down.
​
In therapy, I offer a calm, supportive space where there’s no pressure to perform or explain yourself perfectly. We’ll work at your pace, gently exploring what’s contributing to your anxiety, stress, or low mood, and noticing the patterns that may be keeping you stuck.
As therapy progresses, many people experience greater emotional steadiness, clearer boundaries, and a more compassionate relationship with themselves. The aim is not to change who you are, but to support you in feeling more grounded, present, and able to live in a way that feels manageable and authentic.
If you’re considering therapy for anxiety, stress, overwhelm, or depression, you’re welcome to get in touch to see whether working together feels right.

Client Review - I have always suffered from anxiety & depression for the majority of my life. I had absolute zero confidence in myself and, to put it frankly, I disliked the person I was. I had tried numerous types of therapy, but none really had much of an impact on my outlook in life and towards myself. That all changed when I signed up for Betterhelp and met Gill Smith, my therapist. I can honestly say it has changed my life and the best decision I made joining Betterhelp. Gill spent many hours listening, guiding me and helping me change my way of thinking. She was also honest, compassionate and supportive. I've never felt this much confidence in myself and I'm actually beginning to appreciate who I am. Thank you Gill!

Client review: Gillian has asked great questions that got me considering aspects of myself that I haven't explored before. She is also a very empathetic listener and makes me feel very safe.​
Client review: I appreciate how much Gillian checks up on my outside of the sessions. It is really helping with my healing process as I feel supported by her and it prompts me to check in on how I'm doing and give her updates. It's a great way to self reflect with her support.
