About me

Maybe nothing has fallen apart. You're getting on with work, family and everything else that needs doing. Other people might think you've got it together, but underneath you feel unsettled. You might wonder how you arrived here, why you feel stuck or why the life you have worked hard to build doesn't feel quite as you expected.

Perhaps you are the person everyone relies on; the fixer, the default parent, the one who remembers what needs doing and checks in on everyone else. You are there for everyone but sometimes wonder who notices when you are struggling. Over time, putting your own needs last can affect your self-esteem. However much you do, it can feel as though it's never quite enough.

These feelings can surface at any age. In your late 20's or 30's you might feel the pressure of where you "should" be by now in terms of your career, relationships, children and a life that looks a certain way. Later on you may be questioning the choices you've made. Your children might be growing up, your relationship may be changing or perimenopause or menopause may be prompting you to look at yourself with fresh eyes. There is no age at which you are supposed to have it all figured out.

You might also feel things deeply. A message goes unanswered and you wonder whether you've upset someone. A sharp comment stays with you for days. You find yourself going above and beyond to smooth things over even when you're not sure you have done anything wrong. Being sensitive isn't a flaw to fix, but it can be exhausting when you are always watching for how others might feel.

Sometimes it helps to understand where these patterns began. Perhaps you learned early on to keep the peace, be "good", manage other people's feelings or cope without asking for much yourself. Exploring childhood in counselling doesn't mean you have to relieve painful events. We can gently look at what you learned about yourself and others and how those experiences may be shaping your life today.

I also support people who are considering separation, navigating divorce or making sense of the end of a relationship. You don't need to have made a decision before you come, counselling can give you room to hear your own thoughts without being pushed towards an answer.

I’m Sam, a BACP accredited counsellor working with adults. I’m based in Fremington, between Barnstaple and Bideford, and I also offer online sessions. I support people with relationships, life changes, self-esteem and the lasting effects of difficult experiences. I also welcome autistic and ADHD clients, including people who are beginning to explore whether neurodivergence might help them understand themselves. I’ve completed additional training in this area. You don’t need a diagnosis to talk about it in therapy; I don’t provide diagnostic assessments.

My approach is warm, thoughtful and collaborative. Some people want a focused piece of work and others need more time. We can meet weekly or fortnightly to begin with, keeping your circumstances and the cost of counselling in mind. As the work develops we can review the pace together.

I offer a free 15 minute introductory call so you can ask questions and get a feel for whether I am the right counsellor for you. My practice in Fremington has free parking and a quiet, discreet exit. If you would like to discuss further with an introductory call you can contact me using the email button above or by the enquiry form on my website www.beechtreetherapy.co.uk.

I am also a qualified clinical supervisor and you can find details on my separate supervision profile and website.
