About me
Hi, my name is Sam and I am an Integrative Counsellor.
I work with adults aged 18+.
What I offer
A warm, friendly, empathetic, confidential, safe space in my very comfortable and stylish counselling office at my home address. Here you will be the focus of our time together.
There are times where we can all use a bit of extra help. If you are struggling, I can be a non-judgemental, compassionate ear to listen and offer you that additional support.
How I work
Being an Integrated counsellor means that I am able to draw from many methods and techniques to find the fit that is best for you.
My only goal is to help you with whatever you are currently experiencing.

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.
