Hello I'm Sam, the owner of Prospect Therapy.
As an integrative counsellor with a humanistic foundation, I bring a diverse range of approaches to my practice, tailored to suit the unique needs of each individual I support. With two years of experience in private practice, I offer counseling sessions online, face-to-face, and even through walk-and-talk sessions, adapting to meet my clients wherever they are.
Accessibility is at the core of my practice, I'm deeply committed to breaking down barriers and ensuring that counselling is accessible to everyone.
In my sessions, building honest and trusting relationships is paramount. I'm not afraid to gently challenge my clients, helping them work towards their desired goals and outcomes. I understand the profound impact of depression, anxiety, and low self-esteem, and I prioritise nurturing self-worth and resilience in those I support.
My inclusive approach extends across the neurodiverse spectrum. I value the unique strengths and perspectives, empowering each person to become the best version of themselves. Regardless of background or life journey, I believe in fostering collaboration and growth.
With a friendly yet professional demeanour, I aim to dismantle barriers that may prevent people from seeking counselling. Creating a safe and supportive space where everyone feels heard and understood is my top priority in every session.
Together, we'll continue to explore and refine the counselling approach, ensuring that I make a positive impact in the lives of those I work together with.

Member organisations
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).
This therapist has indicated that they belong to an Accredited Register.
