About Bryanna
Bryanna Martin Smith is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with 18 years of professional experience. She works with adults on relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and other life stresses. She also helps people facing anxiety, low self-esteem, anger and challenges with intimacy or parenting.
She treats each person as the expert in their own story. Sessions focus on identifying strengths and practical steps that feel manageable. Conversations are straightforward and aim to make small changes that add up over time.
When family life is changing, she helps people sort out roles, routines and tricky loyalties that come with new partners or blended households. She will talk through communication problems, co-parenting tensions and the emotional fallout from separation or infidelity. The emphasis is on realistic adjustments rather than quick fixes.
Her work also covers trauma responses, coping with bereavement, and chronic stress. She listens for patterns that keep causing pain and works with clients to try different ways of responding. This can include planning short-term actions to reduce overwhelm and longer-term work on relationships and self-view.
BACP indicates membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. People who prefer English sessions and who live in the UK can follow the site's booking steps to begin a first session.
How her therapeutic approaches work online
She works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One approach involves identifying patterns in relationships and testing small behavioural changes to improve communication and boundaries; this helps with recurring conflicts and blended household routines. Another approach concentrates on coping after loss or trauma by developing short-term strategies to reduce overwhelm and longer-term work to regain confidence and stability.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The counsellor will discuss goals and preferences in early sessions and adapt the plan as needs become clearer. Clients help shape the focus so work stays relevant to their everyday life and roles within their household.
Confirm the session formats before booking as the biography does not list specific options. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work or family schedules, reduce travel time, and allow quieter check-ins that do not need full video. Speak to the service to clarify which session types are offered and how they would fit into daily routines.
