Meet Ty DIP,BSc,MBACP
I am an integrative psychotherapist with expertise in the trauma-informed approach, somatic therapy, and ACT therapy.
My name is Ty Lloyd-Smith and I employ an integrative humanistic approach to gain an understanding of your life experiences. My specialization lies in working with clients facing challenges related to childhood trauma, addiction and bereavement.
Through my work, I have come to realize that collaborative efforts are the key to instigating meaningful change. Together, we will embark on a transformative journey, exploring the roots of your coping mechanisms and defences, delving into the impact of early life experiences, and uncovering the underlying factors contributing to your feelings of unhappiness, loss, or confusion that have led you to seek therapy.
​
I firmly believe that within each person lies the potential for hope, possibility, and personal empowerment. By fostering curiosity and compassion throughout our therapeutic process, we will pave the way for profound changes, regardless of the nature of the transformation you seek.

Ty's Offical Bio.
My journey into the world of therapy began when I was fortunate enough to meet a Gestalt therapist who forever transformed my life. With his guidance and my open-heartedness, this relationship ignited a profound shift within me, promoting not only self-compassion but also a deep empathy for those facing their own struggles.
​
As the youngest daughter of a British mother and a Caribbean father, my personal experiences have shaped me in profound ways. I have been through addiction, domestic violence, and identity issues, among numerous other challenging circumstances. However, amidst the hardships, I have come to recognize the inherent duality of life, where both pain and joy coexist. These encounters have served as catalysts for my personal growth and have instilled in me an appreciation for the transformative power of life’s journey.
