Juliet Smart, BACP

Juliet Smart is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She has four years of professional experience and helps people facing grief, self-esteem struggles, anxiety and stress. Juliet also supports clients with LGBT concerns, motivation and confidence issues.

Her work starts by building an open, non-judgemental space for talking. She encourages clients to say what matters to them and to set the pace for sessions. Juliet aims to listen carefully and to reflect what she hears so people can make clearer decisions about next steps.

Juliet uses practical conversation to help people manage everyday problems. She helps people name emotions, spot unhelpful patterns, and try small changes between meetings. Sessions can cover coping strategies, ways to rebuild confidence, and handling life transitions such as bereavement or relationship endings.

She has particular experience supporting issues that can arise with ageing and geriatric matters alongside concerns like isolation, midlife change and career questions. Juliet also addresses specific topics such as parenting stress, anger, and panic symptoms when they come up in talk therapy.

Juliet works in English and practises in the United Kingdom. If someone is thinking about starting therapy, she asks them to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions that fit their needs.

Approaches and what online work can offer

Juliet draws on evidence-based techniques that focus on clear, practical change. One common approach she uses helps people identify unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, then try small, manageable experiments to test different ways of coping. This approach can help with anxiety, low mood and stress by giving concrete tools to use between sessions.

She also uses supportive, person-centred ways of working to build a trusting conversation. This helps people process grief, loneliness or identity issues by giving them space to talk and to make sense of difficult feelings. That gentle conversational work is useful when people need time to reflect and to plan next steps.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Juliet will work with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, background and preferences. She reviews progress together and adjusts the focus as needed so the work stays relevant.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit counselling around work, family and appointments. It can reduce travel time, allow quicker check-ins, and make it simpler to attend from different locations while still having a structured session with a registered or accredited professional.
