Juliet Smart, BACP

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Juliet uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional understanding. One common approach she draws on helps people learn coping skills for anxiety and panic - this involves simple breathing and grounding exercises and short behavioural steps to reduce overwhelm. It is useful for panic attacks, social anxiety and high stress.

Another frequent strand in her work concentrates on processing grief and loss through paced conversations and memory-focused tasks. This approach helps people name what they have lost, manage painful memories and develop new routines that support day-to-day wellbeing.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Juliet will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what has or has not worked before. Together they choose techniques and adjust them as progress unfolds so the work feels relevant and realistic.

Online therapy offers practical benefits that fit busy lives. Video calls let people use visual connection when that matters, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, working through exercises between sessions or for those who prefer writing. These options make it easier to keep regular contact and to try different formats as needs change.
