Chloe Smith

I am a compassionate counsellor who supports individuals experiencing a range of challenges, including trauma, anxiety, depression, addiction, relational difficulties and emotional regulation concerns. I also have a particular interest in supporting couples to navigate relationship concerns, including intimacy and communication, as well as the emotional challenges that can arise during transitional periods of life.

I am naturally curious about the human experience and passionate about supporting self-discovery. I bring a grounded, respectful and trauma-informed lens to my work. In the therapy room, my aim is to create a warm, non-judgemental space where you feel safe to explore your experiences openly, develop greater self-understanding and develop greater freedom in how you respond to life.

I draw from a range of therapeutic approaches, including Somatic Experiencing, Schema Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Emotionally Focused Therapy and the Gottman Method. I integrate these perspectives according to your individual needs, balancing an exploration of underlying patterns and current coping strategies with gentle somatic tools to support you in navigating emotions and nervous system responses.

Over the years, I have worked with hundreds of clients across individual and group settings. My goal is for you to feel genuinely seen and heard, while having the space to explore new perspectives and create meaningful change. Together, we can work towards developing healthier relationships, a greater capacity to navigate life’s challenges, and a stronger sense of autonomy, connection and fulfilment.
