About
Hi, I'm Sam. There isn't one reason people come to therapy. Sometimes it's a specific event. Sometimes it's a feeling that's been around for a while. And sometimes it's simply a sense that things could be different, even if you're not sure what that looks like. Whatever brings you here, I offer a space where you can be yourself, without judgement, pressure, or the need to have everything figured out.
Approach
My core training is in person-centred counselling, and I also draw on other approaches like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) where they best support the work we're doing. I believe therapy should be shaped around you, not the other way around. I aim to offer a warm, genuine, and collaborative space where we can make sense of what's going on, explore what matters most to you, and work towards meaningful change at a pace that feels right.
Who Sam helps
Alongside my private practice, I'm the Support Services Manager at Music Support, leading mental health and addiction support for people across the music industry. My background is in the charity sector, where I've supported people facing a wide range of challenges, including extensive work with autistic people and individuals with disabilities.
Your first consultation
I offer a free 15 minute consultation where we can get to know each other and understand how we'd like to work together before committing to a full session.

How this works: Take a Seat is a confidential referral and introduction service. We connect you with independent specialists we recommend, and we do not provide therapy or clinical services directly. All therapeutic relationships are between you and your chosen specialist.
