Clinical Supervision and Qualified Supervisors - Counselling in CT9

I am a Clinical Psychologist, registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC). I have over 15 years of experience in the NHS working therapeutically with adults, young people and families. In my current NHS role as a Lead Psychologist, I offer therapy to staff (including experiences of burnout and trauma) in addition to providing consultation, training and supervision. If you are struggling with your mood, feeling stuck, or perhaps low self esteem and relationship problems, I am here to support you.

I am a chartered Health Psychologist providing individual therapy to adults in Kent and online. I have many years experience working as a psychologist in the voluntary sector, civil service, NHS and independent practice. I work with a range of therapeutic approaches including Cognitive Behaviour Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing.

Why Counselling and Psychotherapy? Talking to somebody about how you feel can be a very rewarding experience. Whatever it is, anxiety, depression, bereavement or grief, work related stress, relationship issues or just a general sense of malaise, we can talk through it all in a safe, empathic and non judgemental space. By forming a therapeutic relationship, based on absolute trust, we will work together at whatever pace you feel most comfortable with. I very much believe that everybody is an individual and the work we do will be unique to your own life events and circumstances. Please note I am currently only working online.

Hello, I’m Sam and I want to help you feel better. You're unique, so I tailor therapy to suit you and your needs, whether that is the alleviation of depression or anxiety, improving relationships, recovering from trauma or for personal development. I value honesty, warmth, humour, professionalism and respect for self and other. I've been a practising therapist for over 15 years and I take pride in offering a high-quality, affordable and research-informed therapy service. I work collaboratively with my clients to help them heal, transform and reach goals, using my training in Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP).

Life can often present us with some difficult and painful challenges. How we respond to these challenges, will vary according to our life experiences, especially our early childhood experiences. Having the time and space to untangle and make sense of our past and it’s impact on our present, will help us move out of unhelpful thinking styles, help us move from being stuck in negative relationships and also help find ways to make the changes necessary in our lives. However, on occasion when the source of a persons difficulty is linked with traumatic experiences, then a more specialised trauma focused approach is required.
