MEET GLYN
Experience matters.
So does connection.
I’m Glyn David Smithson, a psychotherapist and clinical consultant with over two decades of experience in mental health, addiction and recovery.
My work has taken me through mental health services, addiction treatment and private practice. Across those settings, I’ve learned the importance of listening carefully, staying curious and working at a pace the person can manage.

HOW I WORK
Different people.
Different starting points.
I use a pluralistic approach: we draw on different ways of working rather than expecting everyone to fit the same model.
That can include parts-informed conversations, attention to bodily experience, practical reflection and exploration of what happens in relationships. You don’t need to know the terminology to begin.
We discuss what we are doing and why, check what feels useful and make room for feedback. Regular supervision supports my professional practice.
