Billy Smith Therapy - Online Therapy and Counselling in Cornwall!
Person Centred Therapy and Counselling at Billy Smith Therapy
Billy Smith Therapy is a person centred therapy and counselling practice based in West Cornwall, U.K. I cover a service area that includes Truro, Helston, Redruth, and Camborne face to face and online. Just online for further afield.
I aim to provide a safe, confidential space for you to explore your feelings:
- I will be honest with you -believing in congruence in counselling and therapy;
- I will try to understand your point of view – listen with empathy;
- I will not judge you – unconditional positive regard.
These stats are not good. As a result, I am offering a coupon for 50% OFF online session fees – use code: COVID21 at checkout.
NHS waiting lists
“I had a complete breakdown, was unable to work and was hospitalised. If therapy had been available when I needed it, I believe I could have been helped to manage the illness and not reach the stage where everything fell apart.”
The same report states that 1 in 5 people have been waiting over a year for treatment. But, interestingly, those waiting less than three months from assessment to treatment were almost five times more likely to report that therapy helped them get back to work than those waiting for one to two years.

What is the distinction between a therapist and a counsellor in the U.K?
Counsellors work on a more immediate level, often focusing on a current issue affecting the client. Therapists work at a deeper level, exploring how the client's personality influences their experience of relationships and their day to day life in general.
Could anyone call themselves a counsellor or therapist in the U.K?
I am a member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists and verified by Psychology Today.
However, according to a BBC inquiry, no regulations prohibit anyone from practising as a therapist or counsellor in the United Kingdom. Due to the ease with which a person can complete a cheap online course, qualifications are frequently useless. Always check.
Therapeutic photography can help people express feelings, emotions and thoughts that may be difficult to explain in words. But, of course, since you don’t know where to begin, you don’t. However, talking about a photograph is often a good place to start.
