About Bryanna
Bryanna Martin Smith helps people who are facing relationship pain, grief, anxiety and the knock-on effects of trauma. She writes plainly and listens closely so people feel heard when they first reach out. Her style is direct but gentle and aimed at practical change.
With 18 years of professional experience, Bryanna supports people through family conflict, intimacy-related issues, parenting strain and career stress. She also works with feelings of isolation, low self-esteem, anger and depression.
Background and approach
Trauma and abuse, and the grief that follows loss, are areas she frequently addresses in sessions. Bryanna believes clients know their own stories and brings that perspective into each session. She looks for strengths people already have and helps turn them into tools for coping.
Conversations are focused on small, manageable steps that can make daily life easier. Her approach balances honest conversation with practical tasks to try between meetings. Sessions aim to improve communication, reduce overwhelming emotions and restore a sense of control.
She explains options clearly and adapts the pace to each person’s needs. Based in the United Kingdom, Bryanna is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She offers sessions in English and uses a subscription model for ongoing work.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Two evidence-based approaches often used in trauma and relationship work are trauma-informed talking therapies and grief-focused counselling. Trauma-informed talking therapies aim to help people understand how past hurt affects current feelings and reactions, and to develop skills for managing strong emotions. Grief-focused counselling helps people name losses, work through practical changes and find ways to honour what matters to them.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what has helped before. Together they will choose or adapt methods and agree on small tasks to try between sessions so progress can be checked and adjusted over time.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use face-to-face conversation when that matters. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or when bandwidth is low. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to check in between meetings or to have a shorter, written catch-up. These options make it simpler to keep continuity and shape a plan that fits a person’s routine and needs.
