Welcome to Silence to Strength Counselling. My name is Carrie Smith. Let me tell you a little about who I am and how I work. Having worked for the NHS for 23 years, I have a range of experience involving people, understanding each and everyone's life experiences and what makes them unique. Working with me you'll find a safe and supportive space to explore your innermost thoughts and emotions. As a person-Centred Counsellor, I believe in providing clients with the opportunity to navigate their own journey towards healing and self-discovery, much like the journey of a lotus flower emerging from the murky depths into the light.

Drawing from a blend of person-Centred and integrative approaches, I offer a compassionate and non-judgmental environment, where clients can feel empowered to explore their feelings and experiences at their own pace. Whether it's through traditional talk therapy or more creative methods such as arts/play. Allowing for exploration through many forms.

With a background in working with both adults and children, I understand the importance of tailoring my approach to meet the unique needs of each individual. My quirky personality, complemented by my warmth, genuineness, and approachability, creates a space where clients feel valued, heard, and truly understood.

Solution Focused Brief (SFBT)
Trauma Focused

I work in an integrative way, which means it's not a one size fits all approach. I am rooted in person centered, but also I use solution focused, trauma informed, and systemic work. I offer work using different creative and expressive outlets, as well as just talking therapy. I work with clients in a way that they feel most comfortable.
