Counselling in Grays
Life can be extremely challenging for us on a day-to-day basis. Poor sleep, anxiety, and lack of energy or motivation. This can lead to an emotional downward spiral in our mental health. We may feel stuck, lonely or even traumatised. If you feel ready to talk, I am here for you.
Throughout my own journey, I have experienced many of the aforementioned conditions, which have led me to this career path. I offer warm and safe online counselling sessions for those over the age of 18.
If you are ready to restart your journey and move towards personal growth, please get in touch to arrange a free, no-obligation call.

Do you feel stuck? Wish for more creativity and to use your full potential instead of feeling held back by your fears? I can support you to tap into your own creative flow and work through fears, negative thought patterns and feelings that might be keeping you stuck. We can learn and harvest the messages your patterns are ready to teach you together. Your difficulties do not have to be your way of life and they do not have to define you. You are worth so much more than your worries and I would love to join you in the journey towards resilience, looking after you and discovering who you really are and what you are capable of!

My aim is to help you make sense of your feelings, thoughts, and patterns of relating, especially those that may feel confusing or repetitive. Together, we can explore not only what is happening in your life now, but also how past experiences and relationships continue to shape your present. Within this trusting and confidential space, you may begin to notice connections between past and present, understand the roots of emotional pain, and discover new ways of being. By paying gentle attention to what unfolds between us, we can bring what is unconscious into awareness, opening the possibility for change and growth.

I am a fully qualified Child, Adolescent and Family Psychodynamic Psychotherapist with over 20 years’ experience supporting children, young people, and their families. I understand how worrying it can be when a child or teenager is struggling, and I aim to offer a calm, thoughtful space where difficulties can be understood and worked through at a pace that feels safe.
Families often choose psychodynamic psychotherapy when they are seeking a deeper understanding of their child’s emotional world and patterns of relating. This approach supports meaningful, long-term change by exploring underlying experiences and relationships...

Hello there! I'm Sam and I've 20 years' experience in mental health and a lifetime of experience managing ADHD! Many practitioners have no lived experience of ADHD and ASD, making it hard for neurodiverse people to feel truly understood. As a professional neurodiverse woman, I have found that services for people like me are hard to find and so I offer ADHD and Autism specific counselling with life skills (like coaching but specifically related to ADHD symptoms) in a non - judgemental and shame free environment, no matter your background.
