About me
Hi, I'm Sam and I'm a psychotherapist delivering cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). CBT is an effective way of working together to explore current difficulties, develop a deeper understanding of what it means to the individual, and identify tools and techniques to help manage those difficulties. I offer virtual appointments via either video or telephone. I have been practising as a CBT therapist for 3 years and I work with people of all ages who are facing a wide range of mental health problems.
Training, qualifications & experience
I trained as a CBT therapist in 2024 with Coventry University and gained my BABCP accredited Post Graduate Diploma (PGDip) in CBT. I have been working in NHS Talking Therapies for the last 3 years. Prior to this, I worked in child and adolescent mental health services (CAMHS). In 2023, I completed my Masters in Psychology. From 2006 until 2023, I worked in children's services, working with both children and adults, supporting mental health, parenting skills, child development and safeguarding.
I have a degree in early years education studies which was the beginning of my career journey, 20 years ago, working in roles supporting others.
