I’m Billy Smith, a psychotherapist, coach, breathwork facilitator, and the founder of Luminous.

Luminous is my private practice for people seeking relief from what is difficult, a deeper understanding of themselves, or support in moving towards something new.

At present, I offer one-to-one psychotherapy. This gives us the time and privacy to explore what is happening in your life, understand the experiences and patterns that have shaped you, and discover different ways of relating to yourself and the world around you.

Luminous also brings together transformational coaching and breathwork. Coaching supports movement, direction, and possibility, while breathwork offers another way of exploring emotion and experience through the body. These will become available as separate services in the coming months.

The name Luminous comes from lumen, the Latin word for light. I chose it because I believe there is something within each of us that remains alive, even when difficult experiences or years of adaptation have made it harder to feel.

I hope that Luminous offers somewhere you can feel met in what you are going through, understand yourself more fully, and begin living with greater freedom, meaning, and connection.
