Is there something going on for you right now that you are not sure how to explain? Feel a sense of being lost, worried, sad, scared, angry or anxious? Life can be difficult and counselling can help you explore what is going on. Having recently been diagnosed with ADHD this is an area of passion. I believe we can work together and start to unpick issues and begin to understand them, improve, increase self-confidence and feel more empowered. I work with adults, couples, families and young people and love seeing a person walk away in a better place. Counselling is all about you and finding your own answers.

Hello, my name is Sam. I love my role as a counsellor, nothing measures up to supporting someone to heal, grow and become the best version of themselves. Empowering people to step into their own light is invaluable. Our past and our experiences can leave us carrying unhelpful and limiting thoughts, feelings and behaviours. Counselling provides a safe space to reflect on these; how they impacted on us then and continue to impact on us now. Understanding ourselves better can help free us from those unhelpful habits and cycles and find a healthier and more empowering way to move forward.

There are times when we need to speak to someone outside our circle of family and friends. Psychotherapy offers you a space to explore what has brought you to this place. I am a Psychodynamic Psychotherapist and Parent-Infant Psychotherapist, working in private practice in Northampton and London W1. I work with adults and with parents and infants, from conception to two years of age. I am interested in the impact of early relational difficulties and trauma on how our later relationships are shaped and how these ways of being play out in our lives.

From stress, anxiety and depression, to challenges around pregnancy and parenting, illness and bereavement, relationships, addiction and even suicide.
We dream of success, money, holidays, happy families and good health, but life doesn't always go to plan. When we are hit with the unexpected, a loss, a relationship that goes wrong, unbearable work pressures, troubled by unresolved experiences of the past or hopelessness about the future, our mental health is affected. We can feel sad, overwhelmed, fearful. We lose confidence and self-esteem. Our physical health suffers too and we can become dependent on medication, alcohol or other non-prescribed solutions. Counselling is a way out, providing support in a confidential, non-judgmental, understanding and empathetic relationship.

I am an experienced Child, Young Person and Parent Psychotherapist based in Harrogate. There are times when we can struggle emotionally. For children and young people it is often difficult to understand their own emotions or be able to express their thoughts. Sometimes this leads to overwhelming and confusing feelings, with behaviours that seems stuck, often resulting in low self-esteem and struggles with peer or family relationships. Individual counselling or creative therapy in a safe supportive space to explore emotions, feelings and develop an understanding of our thoughts can build communication skills and emotional resilience.

Parenting Counsellors

What does therapy for parenting look like?

Therapists may work with parents individually, together, or include the whole family to find solutions for the problems a parent faces. Many parent-based therapies work on a parent’s relationship with their children, problem-solving within the family, and analysis of family dynamics. Therapy conducted remotely by video may be helpful in allowing a therapist to observe how families interact in their own homes.

When should a parent seek therapy?

When behavioral problems begin to disrupt the healthy functioning of a family, it may be a good time to look into therapy. If parents find that children are acting out in school, have started using drugs or alcohol, have developed eating disorders, or other similar red flags, a therapist may be able to help.

How long does therapy take for parenting problems?

Depending on the severity of a family’s challenges and the type of treatment utilized, therapy for parenting can last from weeks to months. Cognitive behavioral therapy is a pragmatic therapy type that can be brief, most often ranging from between 5 and 20 sessions. Structural family therapy, which inspects family dynamics, often takes several months. Parent-child interaction therapy is typically shorter-term, lasting between 10 and 20 sessions. For any therapy, the duration will depend on the progress made and results realized.

Can therapy help parents dealing with burnout or stress?

Parenting is difficult. Parents may dismiss or conceal feelings of exhaustion, overwhelm, or escape ideation—imagining withdrawing from their parental obligations altogether. but left unattended, these feelings can have negative effects on the whole family. A therapist can help parents work on the skills they might need to better cope with the burdens of parenting and help them be the best parents they can be.
