Laveen Smith
Laveen is an integrative therapist with a person-centred approach working with adults and young adults
I’m a qualified Integrative Therapeutic Counsellor and a registered member of the BACP, offering short- and long-term counselling to adults. With over 10 years of experience, I’ve supported adults and young people across a range of settings, including schools, the NHS and charitable organisations.
I work with adults who may be struggling with self-doubt, confidence, relationships or changes in their lives.
Perhaps you find yourself overthinking, questioning your decisions or putting pressure on yourself to get things right. You might appear confident and capable to others, while privately struggling with self-doubt or finding it difficult to trust yourself.
You may be experiencing:
Low confidence or self-esteem
Relationship difficulties or the end of a relationship
Bereavement or loss
Life transitions
Work and career changes
Work stress or overwhelm
Overthinking or feeling stuck
People-pleasing or difficulty trusting your own decisions
I’m passionate about supporting people to understand themselves more deeply, reconnect with who they are and feel more confident being themselves. I believe that understanding our experiences and the patterns we develop can help us build self-trust, make choices that feel right for us and create positive changes in our lives and relationships.
My approach is calm, relational and collaborative. I believe that building a trusting therapeutic relationship is central to our work. I see you as the expert in your own life, and I want to understand your experiences from your perspective, without judgement or assumptions. Together, we can explore what matters to you, make sense of patterns that may be holding you back, and work towards greater self-trust and confidence.
Sessions and availability
I currently offer 50 minute online counselling sessions on weekdays, mornings and afternoons. Face-to-face sessions may also be possible on an occasional basis, subject to availability.
Free introductory call
I offer a free 20-minute introductory phone call. It’s an opportunity for us to talk about what brings you to counselling, ask any questions and get a feel for whether we might be a good fit. It starts with a conversation.
