Val Smith

Having worked in administrative posts as well as volunteering on a telephone listening help line at Crossline Falkirk, I went on to qualify as a counsellor in 2013.

My counselling experience includes working with clients across GP practices, voluntary sector organisations, higher education, private practice, and Hope Counselling Aberdeen.  

 

I work in an integrative way, to ensure that the counselling I provide is centred around meeting the needs of those I support. I use a combination of person-centred, psychodynamic and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT).  I set up in private practice in 2015 and counsel people across a variety of contexts including: charity and employee-assistance programmes. It is a privilege to come alongside clients on their counselling journey with Hope Counselling Dundee.
