Who We Are
Fancy getting to know each other?
Andrew Smith MSc Psych, MBACP,
Hi I'm Andrew and I'm an integrative counsellor. Let's Talk More! came to life in 2018 to provide talking therapy to residents in and around the area of Aldershot, Hampshire. From our comfortable setting, we work with people to explore different challenges in their lives.
I've wanted to work as a therapist for as long as I can remember and after getting a BSc in Psychology I would go on to do further study in counselling, psychotherapy and hypnotherapy. More recently I've completed an MSc in Psychology at the University of Roehampton and am undertaking an additional qualification in supervision(I like studying!). I established Ash Tree Therapy in 2015 which would go on to become Let's Talk More! in 2018. In 2019 I became an affiliate of The Eaves Counselling and Psychology in Farnham. In this time, I have also worked with The Therapy Rooms in Farnham, The Practice in Guildford and have recently started work with Nicholas Rose & Associates in Chiswick, London. In addition to my private practice, I am a member of the leadership team within the West Surrey and North East Hampshire Youth Counselling Service, part of Mindsight Surrey CAMHS (Child and Adolescent Mental Health Service). I also have experience working in Adult Social Care and with the local GP Federation. I also worked with Wessex Academic Health Science Network supporting innovation into the NHS. As part of my work I have an Enhanced DBS Certificate. When I'm not working I enjoy playing badminton, working on books or going hiking.
