Online Counselling with Gill Smith

Welcome to Connect and Talk - Online Counselling
Feel like you’re constantly falling short - despite all you’ve achieved?
Let’s untangle perfectionism, self-doubt, and people-pleasing so you can live with more clarity and self-compassion.
Does life sometimes feel like an endless balancing act - like you’re constantly juggling expectations, responsibilities, and the fear of not measuring up?
You might be successful on paper, yet inside, you’re battling a nagging sense of not enough.
You question your worth, wonder if you’re a fraud at work, and replay conversations in your head, worrying you said or did the wrong thing.
In your relationships, you may feel too needy, too controlling, or struggle to set boundaries - caught between wanting connection and fearing rejection.
​
Your mind is a constant hum of “if only...”
If only I were more confident.
If only I could stop procrastinating.
If only I didn’t feel so sensitive.
It’s exhausting.
​
In therapy, we’ll create a space where you can pause, breathe, and truly hear yourself, without judgment, pressure, or the weight of unrealistic expectations. Together, we’ll explore the patterns that keep you stuck - perfectionism, self-doubt, people-pleasing - and help you reconnect with your inner strength. You’ll learn how to set healthy boundaries, navigate relationships with more ease, and let go of the constant “not enough” feeling that holds you back.
Therapy isn’t about fixing you. It’s about helping you trust that you were never broken. If you’re ready to step out of survival mode and into a life that feels more calm, authentic, and aligned with who you truly are, I’d be honoured to walk that path with you.

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! - Kate (May 2025)
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.
