About Bryanna
Bryanna Martin Smith is a BACP counsellor working in the United Kingdom with 18 years of experience. She helps people who are struggling with relationship strain, family tensions, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, stress, anxiety and anger. She also supports people facing career issues, intimacy concerns and coping with life changes.
She treats people as the experts on their own lives. She helps clients notice strengths they already have, and uses those strengths to address repeated patterns that cause problems. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings and on clearer ways to talk about difficult feelings.
Her background includes long-term practice supporting people through loss and family conflict. That work covers divorce and separation, blended family issues and domestic violence related concerns, plus end-of-life and hospice topics. She also works with issues such as abandonment, isolation and body image challenges.
In sessions she talks through how anger shows up - at work, at home or inside relationships - and how it links to control, communication and past hurt. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage strong feelings, repair rifts and reduce reactive patterns. The focus is on learning skills and trying them in everyday situations.
Sessions are conducted in English. International clients are not currently accepted. Bryanna asks prospective clients to use the site questionnaire to match and schedule a first session; her service uses a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people understand and manage strong emotions. One approach emphasises learning specific skills for noticing triggers, slowing reactions and choosing different responses; this can help with anger that flares at work or in close relationships. Another approach focuses on processing past hurt and loss to reduce ongoing reactivity and improve emotional regulation, which is useful for trauma, grief and relationship wounds.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and try practical methods together. This collaborative process helps pick techniques that fit the client’s situation and day-to-day life rather than applying a single method from the start.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare or travel, and they can allow shorter check-ins when time is limited. Some people find not being on camera useful, while others prefer full video conversation; the therapist will discuss what works best when arranging sessions.
