Counselling in NW7
I am an integrative psychotherapist working with young people and adults, offering individual and group therapy. I specialise in supporting people during transitional stages of life, such as adolescence, adulthood, illness, loss, or major change, which can bring feelings of uncertainty or overwhelm. I have experience working with trauma, complicated grief, and chronic illness, informed by my work in hospital settings and cancer charities. My approach is attachment-focused and trauma-informed, offering a safe, collaborative space to explore experiences, build understanding, and strengthen resilience.

Do you feel like your experiences are all pointing to the painful conclusion that there must be something fundamentally wrong with you? If so, you’re in the right place.
You might be navigating OCD, emetophobia, self-blame or anxiety. As a couple, you may be experiencing the aftershocks of pregnancy loss or depression affecting your relationship. You may be a Christian navigating emotional pain that seems to conflict with your beliefs. Though these concerns appear different, we often find the same feelings at their core: fear, shame, loss, hopelessness and powerlessness.
You don't have to keep wondering if it's all your fault.

You’ve been holding it together for too long.
On the surface, you’re functioning - maybe even succeeding - but inside, you feel wired, tired, and never truly at rest.

I bring a breadth of professional experience from addictions work, coaching, and integrative transpersonal counselling.
I support people who are navigating anxiety, emotional overwhelm or a persistent sense that something is not quite settled.
Our work pays attention to what is happening in your life now, while also making sense of deeper patterns and meanings.
We do this by gently making space for what needs to emerge.
This can be accompanied by tears, rage and/or laughter.
Everything is welcome.
There is no "right" way to do therapy.

Hello, I'm Sam, an accredited psychotherapist and counsellor working with children, adolescents and adults in North West London and online. Together, we can navigate the challenges you may be facing, whether it's stemming from a traumatic event, a complex childhood with experiences of neglect and abuse, or to work on patterns that you notice might be blocking you reaching your goals. A common thread of depression and anxiety often lead people to initiate their therapeutic journey, or perhaps you're simply seeking additional support during a phase where you don't feel quite like yourself.

Navigating today's world doesn't get any easier, does it? Social media tells us how to look and feel and yet many of us can end up feeling shamed and inadequate. We may have goals we want to achieve yet it's all too easy to feel discouraged, out of control, and feel we will never get there. Sometimes the only thing we feel we can have control over is our eating or other addictions. But this usually leads into a downward spiral. What my clients have found is that by joining me in a course of psychological therapy they can unravel the twists and turns they have found themselves in.

Feeling anxious, burnt out, or not quite yourself? You might feel overwhelmed, emotionally sensitive, or stuck in patterns that keep repeating.
Perhaps things look fine on the outside, yet something still feels off — in your relationships, your work, or your sense of who you are. You may be navigating life with a different neurotype, or simply exhausted from carrying everything alone.
Are you looking for a space where you can slow down, speak openly, and be truly heard — without needing to mask or explain yourself?

Are you going through something that no one seems to understand? Maybe you're living with chronic pain, struggling with the challenges of neurodiversity, or carrying the weight of invisible problems, low self-esteem, or past trauma. Perhaps faith has been a source of comfort but also confusion, especially if you've faced spiritual abuse or feel like you can’t talk about your mental health in your community. Maybe you're burnt-out, overwhelmed by stress, life transitions or depression. You want a way forward that makes sense for you. More than anything, you want to be heard, understood, and supported.

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
Counsellors and Psychotherapists listed in the directory are members of the main professional associations, mainly the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) and the UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP). Most Psychologists in the directory are accredited members of the British Psychological Society (BPS) and/or are registered in the Health and Care Professions Council (HPCP).
Providers whose professional membership or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Given that professional memberships are not a statutory requirement for psychotherapists and counsellors in the UK, certain qualified professionals or organisations may choose not to maintain such memberships despite possessing the necessary qualifications. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.

They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counsellor?
Counsellors, psychotherapists and psychologists can all provide counselling or talking therapy and have credentials and experience that enable them to do so in the UK. Psychologists have earned a degree in psychology and many are members of the British Psychological Society (BPS) and have completed a postgraduate qualification in a specialism. Counsellors and Psychotherapists are not required to have a psychology degree, but to belong to a professional organisation such as the BACP or UKCP, they are required to have completed a training course as well as clinical and supervision hours.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
How much does therapy cost?
The cost of therapy depends on a number of variables, including location and the therapist’s experience and training. On average, a therapy session in the UK could be between £30 - £60 when seeing a counsellor and £60 - £150 and up when seeing a clinical psychologist. If you have private insurance, your plan may cover some if not all of your sessions. You should contact your insurance provider to determine if they provide coverage for therapy sessions and to determine what, if any, requirements they might have in order for your sessions to be covered, such as a referral from your GP or medical specialist.
What are more affordable or low cost therapy solutions?
Many therapists offer sliding scale payments, usually on a limited number of slots, which consists in an agreement between the therapist and a client to pay a reduced rate. Therapists who provide such arrangements often consider the client's income or ability to pay, but the extent of the discount is ultimately at the therapist's discretion. Furthermore, while group therapy may have different goals and benefits compared to individual therapy, it can be a more affordable solution to address certain types of issues.
If you are struggling to access therapy due to budget constraints, you could also consider public funded mental health services. The NHS Talking therapies programme offers free of charge counselling for common mental health problems like anxiety and depression. The service is available to anyone registered with a GP, though you do not necessarily need to be referred by your GP and can refer yourself directly to a Talking therapies service. The service will provide different solutions, including group and individual therapy, for a limited number of sessions which are generally up to six.

Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your postcode.
Are therapy sessions confidential?
Therapists who are part of a professional organisation such as the BACP, the UKCP, or BPS are bound by an ethical framework that requires them to uphold a confidentiality agreement. Confidentiality is a crucial part of the therapeutic relationship and only under specific circumstances, such as when there has been participation in a criminal act or act of terror, or if there is potential or known harm to the client or others, will a therapist be obligated to break the agreement. These exceptions to the confidentiality agreement are usually discussed during the initial consultation.
