Counselling in E12

I am a counsellor / psychotherapist who can facilitate helping you overcome emotional pain and unrest. I believe most people experience difficulties in their relationships with others as well as themselves, which is why a good therapeutic relationship is the foundation of the healing process. I do this by building and strengthening the therapeutic relationship between us, creating a safe, non-judgmental space for you to share your thoughts and feelings. The ultimate goal would be to let you explore your strategies in managing emotional conflicts, enabling you to move forward. I have extensive experience in this field with very positive results.

I really do love people and their stories and experiences - I always have. I’ve listened to stories without judgement for almost sixty years. Nothing shocks me and nothing surprises me. I’ve heard the saddest of stories as well as the most amazing ones, and I’m so grateful that I have. I would love to listen to your story – to hear about your strengths and weaknesses, your loves and losses, your joys and sorrows. Whatever your reasons for coming to me, I’m here to help. I believe that in everyone, there is a part that thrives, that’s dynamic, strong and so very wonderful.

I understand that reaching out for support can evoke much anxiety. I am here to work at your pace and with your agenda. I have learned that our reaction to challenges in our adult lives can often be related to our childhood experiences. Within our partnership we will be able to work through childhood trauma, attachment and how they may impact on your current mental health. My hope is that you will be able to show your own commitment to the process. My belief is that the level of commitment you show towards your therapy will plant the seeds of your own growth and development. The outcome being invaluable.

Coming to therapy might be a very scary and daunting thing to do, you may feel like you ‘shouldn’t’ need therapy. I understand this and I want you to know that you are not alone, from your first steps I will be with you. I can provide a compassionate environment so that you can feel, talk about and reflect on, your own emotional processes. Having gained understanding about yourself and felt your emotions, you will increasingly have the space to reflect and make choices. If you are suffering and feel unsure of how to change this, I invite you to contact me and take the first step towards change and self -acceptance.

Do you ever spend time worrying about things you have said or done in a meeting? to a friend? to your boss? Do you ever get trapped in self-critical thinking - where after a mistake you constantly berate yourself? Do you ever wake up in the night or when your trying to something important and you can't control negative thoughts? Are you going through a period of transition and feeling stressed, confused or lost? Overcome self-criticism, build mental resilience and control unwanted thoughts and feelings - by developing self-compassion.

My name is Samantha and I am a qualified registered counsellor with a passion for helping people to achieve their goals and do so by giving you a space to feel heard, understood and not judged. I believe you are the expert of your life and that by sharing your feelings with me we can work to build on areas of low confidence, self doubt, insecurities, stress, anxiety and low mood to a position where you feel more empowered to manage what life has to throw at you. I am here to share your exploration, supporting you to access better self-awareness in a confidential space. I have experience counselling from the age of 11 years and up.

Are you struggling with feeling not only heard but listened to? Want to be able to safely discuss past and present difficulties gaining awareness and understanding about your unwanted thoughts, feelings and behaviours to bring about change in your life? Have you unsolved problems with bereavement and loss, domestic abuse, feeling depressed or anxious and have low self esteem? I provide a non-judgmental, empathetic and understanding approach to counselling, where clients feel comfortable to express their issues in a safe and caring environment.

It is amazing how much being listened to helps. Sometimes it is enough to merely let go of the words that have built up inside you over the years. We are all built differently, and a significant amount of my clients have been a little daunted by the thought of talking about themselves for this long, at least at the beginning. I have a patient and relaxed style that my clients tell me help them take things at their own pace. I know that the only ‘right’ way of ‘doing therapy’ is the way that makes you feel safe. No two of my clients are the same therefore I have adopted a style that provides bespoke sessions to each individual.
