More about Sam

  • 4 years' experience
  • Male
  • BACP

Getting stuck in life can feel overwhelming, and I understand that beginning therapy can feel like quite a daunting process. Together we can work at a pace which suits you, in a safe space where the relationship of counsellor and client is at the core of the therapeutic process. Our sessions together will be private, and we will work in collaboration to gain a greater understanding of your experiences, feelings, behaviours, and needs.

I have four years experience practising as a professional therapist, and work as an integrative psychotherapist, which is both person-centred, and psychodynamic. Meaning that I am able to help you understand your feelings better, by exploring your past relationships and experiences with you. I believe that a sound understanding of these can help bring about healthy change and growth.

I studied Psychotherapy at The Mary Ward Centre, and Kingston College, London. I have experience working for the NHS (British National Health Service), English prison service, Student wellbeing centres, Shelter – Housing centres, The UK Criminal Justice system, Family health centres, General Practitioners, and Addiction centres.

Working together online

Mental health care has not always been readily available. Working with me online, you can work on your terms and at your own convenience. During my years of experience as a psychotherapist, I have adapted my practice to suit the needs of others, understanding that the demands of modern-day living can mean that time is precious to us.

I believe that it is important for people to receive the support they need in a place where they feel comfortable and safe and that this in itself can be therapeutic. Thanks to the ease of access that online therapy offers, you can get the kind of help you need, where and when you need it. By avoiding unnecessary travel time and costs, this needn’t impact on your day-to-day priorities.

Areas which I specialise in;

Anxiety

Depression

Addiction

Trauma

Self-esteem

Bereavement

ADHD

Stress

Anger management

Loneliness

What to expect from your first session

I will ask you questions about your presenting concerns, as well as your history and background. Most likely, you'll find yourself talking about your current symptoms or struggles, as well as saying a bit about your relationships, your interests, your strengths, and your goals.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
