About Sally Smith

Sally Smith is a UK-based counsellor who works with children, young people and adults, supporting individuals from around 11 years of age through to those in their seventies. She has five years of experience split equally between work with young people and adults and between face-to-face and online or telephone sessions. Sally offers both short-term focused counselling with a limited number of sessions and longer term open-ended work to suit different needs and goals.

Sally is a registered member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP), a professional body that represents counsellors and psychotherapists across the UK. Her manner is warm and encouraging, and she creates a non-judgemental space where people can explore difficulties in a collaborative way. Her practice is humanistic at its core, with the therapeutic relationship viewed as central to change, and she integrates compassionate enquiry, cognitive behavioural techniques and resilience-building approaches as required.

She works with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, stress, bereavement and various forms of loss, relationship difficulties across family and work contexts, career and job-related issues including impostor syndrome, as well as OCD, PTSD and other trauma-related problems. Sally also focuses on young adult issues and supports people as they navigate life transitions. She values the opportunity to meet and work with people from diverse backgrounds and is privileged to be part of their therapeutic journeys.

How Client-Centered Practice Translates to Online Therapy

Sally’s primary approach is Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on creating an accepting, empathic environment where the client’s own goals and pace guide the work. This approach is particularly helpful for people navigating stress, low self-esteem, life transitions and relationship difficulties because it prioritises understanding and support rather than advice.

She also draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical coping strategies, and on resilience-building methods to strengthen emotional resources and coping skills over time. These approaches can be useful for anxiety, depression, trauma-related symptoms and adjusting to change.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. Sally takes a collaborative stance, working with each person to explore which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences and adapting the plan as therapy progresses.

Online therapy with Sally is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for people with different schedules and circumstances. These options can make it easier to access regular sessions, maintain continuity during life changes, and receive support in a format that feels most comfortable for the individual. Registered professionals and therapists can adapt interventions effectively across these remote formats.
