North Cotswolds Counselling
Your space, your time.
Welcome
Shân Smythe
BA (Hons), PGCE, FdA Therapeutic Counselling
I am a professional, qualified therapeutic counsellor working with adults in the North Cotswolds. I am warm, empathic and genuine. I provide a safe, confidential space where you can express yourself freely and process complex thoughts and feelings without fear of judgement.
Whatever brings you to seek counselling, I will work hard to understand your goals and support you as you move towards resolution, relief or change.
Sessions are held in person at The Counselling Pod at Far Peak, near Northleach; a cosy space surrounded by countryside. If you are not local or are unable to travel, I can provide counselling online or by telephone.
