Juliet Smart , BACP

Juliet Smart is a UK-based therapist with four years of professional experience and a BACP credential - membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She works with people facing a range of difficulties, including LGBTQ+ related concerns, grief and loss, low motivation, self-esteem and confidence challenges, anxiety and stress, relationship and family issues, trauma and abuse, parenting difficulties, and life transitions. Juliet draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help clients explore thoughts and emotions, build practical coping skills, and reconnect with what matters most to them.

In sessions she aims to provide an open, nonjudgmental space where feelings and experiences can be expressed and examined. Juliet emphasizes collaboration, helping each person identify goals and try approaches that fit their needs and circumstances. She recognises that reaching out for support takes courage and treats that first step with respect and encouragement.

Juliet accepts clients in the United Kingdom and offers a range of remote session formats to suit different lifestyles. Her approach is grounded in supporting personal strengths while addressing the specific challenges clients bring, from relationship concerns and parenting stress to grief, trauma, and issues around identity and self-worth.

Evidence-based approaches and flexible online support

Juliet uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on exploring thoughts and emotions and teaching practical skills to improve day-to-day functioning. One common approach involves guided conversation to help clients process grief, relationship difficulties, and identity concerns while making sense of emotional patterns and responses. Another strand of work focuses on skills-based strategies that target anxiety, stress, and self-esteem by developing coping tools, problem-solving methods, and strategies for managing challenging moments. A trauma-informed stance is also emphasised, offering paced support for those recovering from abuse or difficult life events and prioritising stabilisation and resourcing before deeper work.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Juliet works with each person to identify goals, try suitable techniques, and adapt the plan as needs and preferences evolve. Clients are supported to make informed choices about what feels most helpful for them.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives and to access consistent support from home or elsewhere in the UK. These formats increase flexibility around scheduling and allow therapy to continue even when face-to-face meetings are not possible, while preserving the therapeutic relationship between client and licensed professionals.
