Welcome to Jamie O Smith Therapy!
I'm a Bristol-based psychotherapist and training facilitator working online and in person. I
believe passionately in the power of counselling and psychotherapy to help people overcome challenges and lead a more fulfilling life. 
ABOUT

ABOUT ME

WHAT DO I DO? 

I offer one-to-one psychotherapeutic counselling in person (near White Ladies Road), online, or by telephone. This can be either short-term counselling for specific issues and more open-ended psychotherapy for broader concerns. Talking therapy can feel confusing, so I put together an FAQs page answering the questions I most often receive about starting. For more information about what therapy with me might look like and how to begin, check out my Therapy page, 

​

I also provide best-practice training for mental health practitioners on a range of specialist topics. If you're a practitioner or organisation interested in training, have a look at my Training page to learn more. 

EDUCATION AND EXPERIENCE

I am a BACP-registered Psychotherapeutic Counsellor with a Master's in Counselling and Psychotherapy. My primary training was integrative (drawing on Person-Centred, Gestalt and Psychodynamic approaches). I've undertaken additional CPD to be able to work in a trauma-informed way. 

​

I hold a teaching qualification and have a wealth of experience working in the mental health sector in the UK and internationally. I have developed and delivered a number of best-practice training on topics such as working sensitively with gender, sexuality, and relationship diversity (GSRD); building a neurodiversity-affirming practice; and working confidently with self-harm and suicidality.

VALUES 

I believe passionately that psychotherapy and counselling have the potential to benefit everyone and shouldn't be the preserve of only a small part of society. I welcome and work with people of all life stages, sexual orientations, neurotypes, gender identities, and cultural backgrounds. It may be the case that you want to know more about me before working together, and you're welcome to ask any questions you may have. I am a registered BACP member and abide by their code of ethics for practice.
