William Smith

he/him

I work with clients who feel stuck or overwhelmed in their intimacy or relationships, or who find themselves caught in repeating patterns. You may experience a frustrating gap between what you understand intellectually and what you actually feel in your body.

My belief is that these feelings are often sane, logical responses to your life experiences, particularly within the context of minority stress and queer identity. Our work together focuses on understanding the unconscious 'scripts' you learned to live by, especially around sex and relating, aiming to move towards a life that feels more authentic and is guided by your own sense of meaning.

I am an Advanced Accredited GSRD Therapist (Pink Therapy) and a BACP Accredited Member. I am also a COSRT Student Member, currently undertaking qualifying clinical training as a Psychosexual and Relationship Therapist at the Contemporary Institute of Clinical Sexology (CICS) under formal clinical supervision.

While I specialise in supporting clients with complex, demanding lifestyles, I maintain concessionary slots to ensure therapy remains accessible.
