Obsessive-Compulsive (OCD) Counselling in East London
Change often begins in the space where you’re allowed to speak freely. I’m a psychodynamic psychotherapist offering one-to-one therapy for adults, both in person and online. Some people come to therapy wanting short-term, focused support around a specific issue, while others seek longer-term, open-ended work. We’ll shape the therapy around you and your needs, rather than forcing a fixed model.
My approach is relational and collaborative. We work together in a confidential, non-judgemental space to explore thoughts, feelings, relationships, and recurring patterns, at a pace that feels manageable and attuned to you.

Hi, I'm Sam - a warm, experienced and attentive relational psychodynamic therapist. This means I bring a curiosity in understanding how past experience influences the person that you are today, and provide an open-minded, safe and accepting space where we can work together to make sense of the questions or issues that you might bring to therapy. I bring experience of work in community mental health, suicide prevention & homelessness services.
Therapy provides an opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of yourself, the ways in which you relate to yourself and others, and the patterns in your life which seem to repeat themselves.

You might have spent years feeling like you're working twice as hard as everyone else and still falling short. Maybe anxiety is always there in the background, or a low mood that never quite lifts. Perhaps you feel lost, without a sense of direction or purpose. You could be navigating stress and burnout, a big life change, or a grief you haven't had space to feel. You might be struggling in your relationships or carrying a deep sense of not quite belonging. Perhaps you have recently been diagnosed with ADHD, or wonder if your brain has always worked differently. Whatever has brought you here, you don't have to figure it out alone.

It's normal to need support with our mental health and wellbeing. Sometimes we need help to feel more at ease in a specific area of our lives, or perhaps to explore why we feel the way we do.

I am a Clinical Psychologist, which means I am trained to support people with different hopes, needs, and difficulties, by using a wide range of therapies.

Lost? No one understands? Helpless and hopeless?
You may feel overwhelmed by anxiety, persistent low mood, or constant self-doubt. Perhaps you overthink situations, struggle with harsh self-criticism, or feel trapped in patterns you can’t seem to break. You might appear capable on the outside but feel exhausted internally. You want relief from racing thoughts, emotional heaviness, or the sense of not being “good enough.” Most of all, you want to feel calmer, more confident, and back in control — to understand yourself deeply and move forward with clarity, resilience, and lasting change.
