About me
Supporting individuals who feel “like a square peg in a round hole”.
My practice focuses heavily on neurodiversity and emotional well-being, especially where conventional settings may not fit well.
I'm Jeffrey Samuels, an integrative, neurodiversity-affirming counsellor working with adults who may be experiencing issues such as anger, anxiety, bereavement, depression, relationship problems, low self esteem, sex-related issues, stress, trauma, and work related issues.
I have extensive training and experience in working with neurodiversity, including ADD and ADHD, Autism and Asperger's syndrome.
These feelings are often accompanied by or is masked by depression, anxiety and emotional rigidness - which in turn can lead to work and relationship problems.
My counselling is drawn from the psychodynamic, humanistic and relational modalities to support you in being confident in your neurodiversity in a neurotypical world. My non-judgemental and confidential process, in a safe space, seeks to scaffold you preferencing a psycho-educational system embracing an understanding of “double empathy” and some solution-focused concepts. These include:
- Attachment / Relational Therapy
- Cognitive Behavioural (CBT)
- Solution Focused Brief (SFBT)
- Integrative
- Narrative Therapy
- Relational Therapy.
If you feel like a square peg in a round hole - please get in touch.
Exploring, recognising and slowly putting into practice what has been uncovered can be enough to move you from being overloaded leading to meltdown or lack of headspace to an awareness that modifies your feeling of well being.
Gaining the skills to probe your response will help you understand how to design an appropriate strategy that works for you.
I help clients tune in to their wavelength figure out what they are looking for, and try to help them project that thing back to themselves.
My work with the neurodiverse community which includes issues such as suspected ADHD and Autism has given me a unique roadmap to help you orchestrate a schema that will work for you especially if you are concerned about depression and anxiety.
I offer a complimentary 30 minute initial call which you can book easily here.
Alternatively, please call or email me on 07836 737017.
Come and join me, and lets bring it home together.

Member organisations
school Registered / Accredited
Being registered/accredited with a professional body means an individual must have achieved a substantial level of training and experience approved by their member organisation.
The National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society This Not For Profit association of counsellors and psychotherapists aim to support the counselling profession, members and training organisations. In 2013 the NCS register was accredited by the Professional Standards Authority under the Accredited Voluntary Register Scheme. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
