About me
Life can be complex and present us with many issues, such as such as strained personal relationships, family issues, work stress, feeling stuck in life, or struggling with a big change, loss or bereavement.
In response to challenges such as these, we may experience worry, anxiety, depression, stress, or overwhelm. These could combine with other on-going difficulties, such as struggles with sense of identity, uncertainty, low self-esteem, finding a sense of meaning and purpose in life, challenges related neurodiversity experiences, or ongoing health issues.
Perhaps you are experiencing any one or a mixture of these, and are hoping to be able to make sense of things, find some relief, make changes, and move towards a better quality of life.
As a UKCP registered integrative transpersonal psychotherapist, I offer a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space within which to build a supportive therapeutic relationship. My aim is for you to feel heard, understood, and supported to process and navigate your experiences, whatever they may be.
Taking a holistic look at your experiences - past, present and your hopes for future, we can work through your difficult historical experiences to bring some sense to any patterns in how you perceive and respond to what comes up for you in the present. Developing this awareness of how past informs present, we can find ways in which to help you move beyond old patterns that no longer serve you, and experiment with authentic ways in which to engage with life that are meaningful and fulfilling. This can lead to developing a deeper sense of connection to yourself and your world.
Taking an integrative approach to psychotherapeutic work, I draw upon and combine a range of well considered and rigorously developed psychotherapeutic theories, with a focus on building a safe and collaborative therapeutic relationship. Working in this way allows for a therapeutic approach specifically tailored to your personal needs and that best suits you as an individual.
My main focus is towards longer-term work, but am happy to discuss short-term solution-focussed therapy also.
If you would like to book a free 20 min zoom consultation, so we can discuss your hopes for therapy, and see if we might work well together, please get in touch via message / email.
I look forward to hearing from you,
Sam

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 UK Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) is a leading professional body for the education, training and regulation of psychotherapists and psychotherapeutic counsellors. Its register is accredited by the government's Professional Standards Authority.
As part of its commitment to protect the public, it works to improve access to psychotherapy, to support and disseminate research, to improve standards and to respond effectively to complaints against its members.
UKCP standards cover the range of different psychotherapies. Registration is obtained by training or accrediting with one of its member organisations, or by holding a European Certificate in Psychotherapy. Accredited by the Professional Standards Authority.
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).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
