About William Smith (he/him)

Hello, I’m William, a BACP-accredited psychotherapeutic counsellor, providing compassionate online support to adults throughout the UK and Europe. My aim is to help you gain greater clarity, deepen self-understanding, and navigate meaningful changes in your life.

With a diploma in therapeutic counselling, I have a solid practical foundation for my therapeutic work. My academic background also includes a BSc in Psychology and an MSc in Gender Studies, equipping me with a broad understanding of human behaviour and the ways our identities and life experiences shape who we are. This foundation allows me to offer a sensitive approach to therapy, where I tailor my methods to meet each client’s unique needs. I am also a qualified supervisor, offering other therapists support in their work.

I work by drawing from psychodynamic, humanistic, mindfulness, and CBT approaches to provide flexible, adaptive support. This blend enables me to help clients explore not only personal challenges but also the broader social and cultural factors, such as gender, race, and sexuality, that may influence their experiences.

My journey to becoming a therapist was not straightforward. After years of fulfilling the external markers of success yet feeling adrift internally, I came to understand how vital it is to live in alignment with our true selves. My own experiences in therapy showed me the power of self-awareness and self-compassion, inspiring me to support others in uncovering their own paths.

As an accredited member of the BACP, I am committed to the highest standards of ethical practice, ensuring your well-being remains central in our work together. I believe online therapy offers an accessible and effective way to connect, wherever you may be.

In our sessions, you will find a safe, non-judgemental space where you can be fully heard and understood. Together, we will explore your experiences, build self-awareness, and work towards the positive changes you seek.

If you’d like to take that first step, please reach out to discuss how we might work together.
