Counselling in London

I am final year trainee psychotherapist and qualified mindfulness teacher offering low-cost psychotherapy as I work towards full accreditation. I practice Core Process Psychotherapy (CPP), a mindfulness based, transpersonal approach to therapy that is firmly rooted in the belief that at the ‘core’ of each of us lies the potential to connect more deeply with our inherent health and wisdom; in body, mind and spirit. If you decide to work with me you will be entering into a healing relationship with someone who is trained to hold and come alongside whatever is alive and going on for you with kindness, presence, insight and compassion.

I am an experienced counsellor and psychotherapist. I work with adults and adolescents, across a wide range of issues. My approach focuses primarily on enabling you to understand what brought you where you are today, and where you want to be. With this understanding, we develop solutions for you to get there. Each client is unique, and I use a blend of approaches to meet your specific needs. I am an integrative counsellor, and have also trained in CBT techniques. I work with people dealing with anxiety and depression, facing challenges with their relationships, or looking to improve their ability to tackle personal challenges.

I believe that therapy allows you to take a more active role in understanding and experiencing your emotions. When we are not aware of our emotions or ideas, it can mean we act out certain behaviours – or experience certain feelings - without knowing why. And while we might be able to tolerate this for some time – perhaps even for a long time - I believe there is a difference between surviving and living. Developing a closer – or less mysterious - relationship with ourselves can allow us to go beyond living life passively and begin to really experience it.

I am a qualified and experienced psychodynamic psychotherapist and counsellor. I work with a wide variety of emotional difficulties, mental health challenges and relationship issues. I provide a nonjudgmental, confidential, safe and welcoming space for you to talk about any issues that might be concerning you.

I am fully qualified, BACP registered counsellor, psychotherapist and supervisor working with a wide range of issues. My approach is integrative drawing from Psychodynamic, Person-Centred, CBT, Gestalt and Attachment theory depending on the needs. I support my clients in understanding themselves and their experiences, help them leave difficult events in the past and change unhelpful patterns. By becoming aware of our behaviour, actions and inner conflicts, we are gaining a better understanding of why we are the way we are, and why we do the things we do, this leads relieve in suffering, peace and happiness.

The focus in my private practice is on difficult relationships be that in the workplace, with friends or romantic relationships. I work with individuals and couples who are in or have been in relationships where there is control, excessive criticism, contempt or betrayal. I work with people who have tended to be more harmed by and those who have caused harm in their relationships. I help people develop a sense of compassion for themselves, building a sense of strength to advocate for their own needs in a constructive way so as to develop genuine, lasting intimacy with others.

I offer individual therapy for adults and adolescents, as well as parental counselling. I am also available for clinical supervision for psychologists and psychotherapists. I currently work as a lead psychologist for an adult health psychology service in a NHS teaching hospital. In this role I offer specialised therapy to adults and young adults with a range of psychological difficulties that include depression, anxiety, impulsivity, psycho sexual difficulties, post-traumatic stress disorder, autism spectrum disorder and attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder.

My clients are usually troubled by the things that have happened to them/are happening to them. They may have problems sleeping, and can't take their mind away from what happened. They may have bodily tensions, and may feel bitter, angry and/or depressed and/or aimless. They would like to feel content and happy with their life, their family and/or friends, and perhaps spend time on creative things, or helping people, or doing religious activities, or sports, or studying or developing new skills and interests. They would like to discover or rediscover purpose and meaning in life.

I have extensive lifelong experience of supporting those suffering with poor mental health, including the most severe conditions. I have worked successfully with people of all ages, including adolescents, homemakers, C-Suite executives and those receiving end-of-life care. I also work with couples using The Gottman Method.

I’m Sam - I’ve been a psychotherapist for about eight years. I became a therapist because I had been in therapy for years myself and it really helped, and so I wanted to support others in the same way.

My previous career as a scriptwriter has led me to be particularly attended to clients' narratives. Each individual has their unique story to tell. Each contains elements of significant people,conflicts, struggles and resources. It may impact the way we see ourselves, others and the world. By engaging in the process of therapy, we may open up new possibilities and to rewrite our stories.

Do you ever feel that life has become too overwhelming or that everyday tasks are a struggle? Is something from your past unresolved and affecting your life today? I believe we are all experts in our own lives and my role is to facilitate the exploration of those feelings with you together. I will support you in working towards any realistic goals that you would like to achieve. I understand that you may not know what support you need, what changes you want to happen or why you are feeling the way you do, but I am experienced to help you answer some of these questions so your life can begin to feel the way you would like it to.

Life can be tough sometimes and we can easily find ourselves stuck in cycles of unhelpful thinking or behaving. My aim is to help you to become unstuck and access a healthier, happier version of yourself. You may not know exactly how or why things aren't working, so an initial assessment can help us to figure this out together. I believe that we all possess the knowledge and resources to address our problems - I see my role as helping you to unlock this knowledge, access these skills, and acquire some additional tools along the way.

Life is difficult. Do more, be more. Be what others want. I offer a space where we examine where you are in life, what's brought you here, what it's like being you and you in relation to others, and how you're contributing to where you're at. How will we do this? Through our relationship, where I'll offer support, care, empathy and challenge to help you examine life.

Do you need help with feeling low or anxious? Are you dealing with loss or trauma? Do you find it hard to keep relationships? Would you like to change a bad habit? No matter what your reasons are for reading my profile, we could all do with help sometimes. I get it. Seeing a therapist is worth it and here’s why. Therapy can help you feel better and more connected; soften your pain; elicit motivation to change; and become a better version of yourself. Therapy is an investment which could benefit you and those around you for a long time to come.
