Online Counselling with Gill Smith
(Anxiety-Stress-Overwhelm-Grief)
Connecting with the right therapist is an important decision for you to make.
About Me
With over two decades of professional experience, I’ve dedicated myself to empowering children, young people, and adults, helping them find their voices and discover solutions to enhance and sustain healthy mental well-being. However, my journey into counselling was deeply personal. Having faced my own experiences of personal trauma, high anxiety in the workplace, overwhelm, grief, and depression, I came to understand just how crucial the right support can be. Witnessing the growing prominence of mental health struggles in adults and young people reinforced my belief in the need for knowledge, understanding, and empathy - leading me to retrain in 2019 and gain an Advanced Diploma in Psychotherapeutic Counselling so I could utilise my skills to support others more effectively.
​
As a trained psychotherapeutic counsellor, I practice person-centred therapy, which means we'll focus on your unique experiences and feelings, ensuring that you are heard and understood with compassion and free from judgment. I prioritise building relationships founded on trust and mutual respect, creating a safe and supportive environment where you can explore your thoughts and emotions without fear.
​
Drawing from my own life experiences - both professionally and personally - I offer ethical support to clients who feel overwhelmed by life’s challenges. Whether it’s stress, anxiety, grief, depression, or navigating difficult relationships, at Connect and Talk Counselling, I’m here to help you find your way.
