Transpersonal Counselling in Ashford
It is not uncommon to reach a point in life where you feel you need to reach out for help and talk about what is going on for you in a safe space without the fear of being judged, not being taken seriously and with someone who is trained to help you. It doesn't matter how problematic your life is or what form, or size (small, medium or big) the problems or challenges in your life take, if they are causing you to suffer and be unhappy then I can help you explore them, move forwards and grow at a pace that works for you.

I believe that deep healing is possible when we approach the psyche with compassion, curiosity, and a willingness to listen to the body and soul.
As a holistic Jungian psychotherapist, intuitive coach, healer, and supervisor, I work with individuals seeking to understand themselves more fully, often after trauma, loss, dissociation, or longstanding emotional struggles. My approach combines depth psychotherapy with spiritual insight and somatic awareness. I hold a space that welcomes every part of you—mind, body, emotions, and spirit.

This is a model of transpersonal psychology which looks at the whole person - emotional, physical, intellectual and spiritual aspects.
You're here looking for help - for someone to talk to who will really listen to you, because you are feeling distressed, and other sources of help don't exist or aren't working. My counselling offers a place of warm and accepting welcome, a space to say all you need to, and help to move beyond the distress you feel now toward wholeness.
Your distress may be from a relationship - any relationship: in your family, with friends, in your work, or more generally with our society, or even the world. We each live in unique lives, and seek our own best way forward. We will work together to move beyond your distress.

Hi my name is Sam. I work with children and young people. My focus when working with children and young people is to find a way to work with them to help with all of their areas of difficulty, from emotional to school and the variety of difficulties they can experience. I find that children and young people feel most comfortable in a familiar surrounding so I always try to work with the child in their own home or school.

Sometimes people may experience emotional distress and pain arising from life changes, relationship break-up, redundancy, bereavement. They may feel depressed, anxious or confused. Perhaps there's trauma, stress or difficult illness. Problems may be from the past too. Sometimes the cause can be unclear, where low mood or anxiety have become overwhelming. If you’re struggling on your own to make sense of things or to find a way forward, reach out to someone outside of your immediate circle of family and friends. Here you can experience being listened to without judgment, feel understood and work to resolve your difficulties.

I am an integrative transpersonal psychotherapist accredited by UKCP and BACP.
I have a broad experience of working with people and facilitate on the Path of Love retreat in the UK, Netherlands, Italy and Portugal. I am both UKCP and BACP registered.
I believe we are all unique. However this uniqueness, our essence, is usually suppressed in order to prioritise coping with life's events/challenges. This adapting can generate a personality which no longer serves us. This often manifests as anxiety, depression or loss of purpose - all areas I focus on. An opportunity exists to dive beneath the patterns and rediscover what we want from our lives and relationships. I look to guide people through this journey.

Through therapy you can find out things about yourself that will help you understand what is going on for you and help to develop your own understanding and gradually learn more about your innermost parts and lead the way to greater acceptance of yourself. This is awareness and will help you feel more empowered to choose to do things differently. I believe this work is about being true to yourself rather than being who you think you 'should' be and to reclaim those parts of you that have been denied. It is both challenging and rewarding work leading to emotional healing and growth.

I offer trauma informed therapy in London & Canterbury & I see clients online nationally. Many people I work with describe feeling stuck in patterns of anxiety, self-criticism, low self worth or disconnected from their emotions — but unsure why. Together, we explore what shaped those patterns: experiences of emotional neglect, childhood trauma, bereavement, relationship trauma or a narcissistic family system. I do this work because of my own experiences of childhood trauma. I understand what it feels like to never feel good enough, sabotaged by self criticism, while pushing down what happened & pretending everything is fine.

Transpersonal Counsellors
How does transpersonal therapy work?
Transpersonal therapy focuses on a patient’s spirituality and meaning in life. Transpersonal therapists might borrow from Eastern traditions as well as Western psychology. They may incorporate techniques including meditation, visualisation, hypnotherapy, dream analysis, and or breathwork to produce altered states of consciousness. The therapist helps the patient to access their consciousness and spirituality to work through difficult mental states.
How long does transpersonal therapy last?
Because the goal is to understand a person as a whole, including their spirituality, treatment can range from months to a year or beyond. While patients learn the philosophy behind transpersonal therapy during treatment, they can also practice its principles throughout life after therapy sessions have ended.
Is transpersonal therapy effective?
Patients have found success with transpersonal therapy; this method is useful in improving anxiety, depression, self-esteem, identity, fears, relationship problems, and other concerns. Improvements in problem areas can continue even after transpersonal therapy ends, as individuals can utilise the tools they’ve learned during treatment sessions.
What are the limitations of transpersonal therapy?
There is some research on the effectiveness of transpersonal therapy, but empirical support for this therapy approach is sparse. It does not have the robust evidence base of other forms of therapy, such as cognitive behavioural therapy or acceptance and commitment therapy.
