We can find it difficult to cope with our thoughts, feelings or life experiences and need someone to talk to. Counselling can give you the space and time to explore these issues, and work towards a healthy mindset.
Whatever challenges you are facing, you are not alone. We will work together to explore your needs and how to meet them.
I use a Person-Centred counselling approach, which is all about offering a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space where you can be truly understood and listened to with empathy.
It can be helpful to explore your inner processes and where those thoughts have come from, for a deeper understanding of yourself and to begin exploring new ways to cope.
Hi, welcome to Smart Mind Counselling, my name is Michelle Smart. I gained my BSc in Psychology from UEA in 2020, and went on to gain a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling from York Learning. For over 2 years I have counselled at Phoenix Health and Wellbeing in Leeds, working with a range of clients and presenting issues.
I am a Registered Member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (MBACP) and work within their ethical framework.
My Counselling Service
I strive to understand your world from your eyes, without any judgement. Within our sessions, I support you to better understand your thoughts and feelings with empathy, which can foster personal growth and change.
We begin by agreeing what you want to gain from counselling, and then shape our sessions around what is most effective for you.
I am passionate about offering an accessible environment that can be adapted to your situation. If you have any concerns about getting started or using online therapy, please reach out and we can explore options together.
I offer online counselling to anyone over the age of 18, and can offer short or long term counselling at a pace that’s right for you.
After an initial free 15 minute call to check if I'm the right counsellor for you, we can book our first appointment.

Abuse
Anxiety
Bereavement
Depression
Low self-confidence
Sexual assault
Stress
Trauma
Domestic abuse
Loneliness
Self-harm
