Find peace and clarity with Samantha - psychotherapy & coaching

Get Started

Hi, I'm Samantha

I'm an accredited integrative therapist and coach and I consider myself very lucky to have been trusted to support people through their most difficult times for over 16 years now. Working in psychology for almost 2 decades means that I've gathered a vast array of experience working with common and not-so-common client problems.


I'm qualified in a variety of therapeutic and coaching methods which means that I'm able to choose the most appropriate modes of treatment for your individual needs. I am also a BPS accredited supervisor, meaning that I support other health practitioners to provide high levels of care. 


I provide a professional, caring and non-judgemental service using scientifically proven methods to help you overcome challenges in all areas of life.  


I'm accredited by the British Psychological Society and the IANLPC meaning that I'm bound by a professional code of ethics and practices to ensure your safety and access to consistently high standards within my care.

Philosophy

Beyond the therapy room

Beyond the therapy room

 

I believe that Psychotherapy and coaching are both collaborative journeys and when done with an established and accredited practitioner, will empower you to develop coping mechanisms, and ultimately helps you navigate life's challenges with greater resilience.


I utilise a variety of evidence-based approaches tailored to your unique needs. Whether you prefer cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) to address negative thought patterns, mindfulness techniques to manage stress, or psychodynamic therapy to delve deeper into unconscious motivations, I'll work with you to find the approach that best helps you achieve your goals.

Beyond the therapy room

 

Your journey of wellbeing extends beyond the therapy room.  Whilst I highlight the power of psychotherapy, its important to also recognise the interconnectedness of our lifestyle, mind and body. it may also be important to optimise your results by exploring how lifestyle choices and things such as sleep, nutrition and mindfulness practices, can compliment your therapeutic process.

Within this site, you'll find informative blogs on various mental health topics, tips on managing stress and anxiety, and practical tools to promote emotional well-being.  


I invite you to embark on this exploration of self-discovery and unlock the inner strength you already possess. Together, we can navigate life's challenges and cultivate a sense of peace, fulfilment, and well-being.
