Welcome
"As a psychotherapist and counsellor Al Skiffington-Smith offers the opportunity to experience a unique therapeutic encounter helping you move on to different ways of thinking and feeling about yourself and your life."
My approach to working with people is based on generating trust and insight
I work in private practice offering Psychotherapy, Counselling and Clinical Supervision. I began working therapeutically with people in 1999.
I work online with people from all corners of the UK. I am also experienced in working on an international basis.
I offer a free Mutual Assessment Session - subject to availability. I do this because I recognise that one of the most important factors in any therapeutic work is the relationship between a client and their therapist. Without a strong working alliance the work will suffer. This is why I offer an hour of my time free of charge for you to meet with me. You can then decide for yourself if you would find what I offer of value and I will also let you know if I feel that I can be of help to you.
Current Availability
Please note: There are times when my practice becomes fully booked. When this happens I keep a waiting list. You are welcome to email me to enquire about my availability.
