Samantha Cozens

As a former lawyer in a big City law firm, I am acutely aware of the stresses and strains that can go with that sort of career. In addition to working with anxiety and stress related issues, I am also experienced working with depression; loss; isolation; relationship difficulties; feelings of stuckness; loss of purpose; infertility (including those undergoing fertility treatment); low self-esteem; trauma; abuse and domestic violence. I also work with those considering becoming an SMBC/SPBC (solo mother/parent by choice).

No matter what may be troubling you, I provide a safe space where no subject is off-limits, where you can share whatever is on your mind, assured in the knowledge that you will be met with warmth and acceptance.

I endeavour to offer you my full presence, to listen deeply and respectfully, asking the kind of questions that give you a chance to express more of your own truth, whatever that may be. 

Whilst I don't offer advice, my role is to facilitate your self-learning, asking questions that shine a light on what it may be that is really holding you back,  bothering you, or why you may be feeling or behaving in a certain way. I often find that, once a client gains this self-knowledge, a shift occurs - that might be a shift in feelings or perspective, or a practical decision becoming possible.

In addition to my private practice, I previously worked in an NHS service. I have also worked as a psychotherapist for several years at a counselling service in North West London.

I am experienced working on both a short-term and long-term basis.

My way of working is gentle but challenging.

Believing that only you can be the expert on you, I do not diagnose, pathologise or categorise.
