HELLO

Life can feel overwhelming at times - filled with challenges, uncertainties, and emotional experiences that are hard to navigate alone. Therapy offers a confidential, supportive space to explore what is happening for you at your pace, with someone , who is attuned, non-judgemental, and present.

Benefits of therapy

The Power of Talking

Talking therapy is a collaborative process. It can help you make sense of difficult feelings, develop self-understanding, and uncover patterns that might be holding you back. Whether you're struggling with grief, relationship issues, anxiety, or something harder to name — therapy offers a space to feel heard, seen, and supported.

When Words Aren’t Enough

Sometimes, words don’t quite reach the depth of our inner world. That’s where creative approaches can help. Together, we may use imagery, metaphor, or creative expression (like drawing, sand tray work, or movement) to tap into feelings and insights that might otherwise remain out of reach. This isn’t about being ‘good at art’, it’s about giving voice to the unspoken, and connecting with your authentic self in new and healing ways.

Creative Expression Workshops

For Therapists, Counsellors, Teachers, and Professionals

I offer workshops exploring creative expression as a way to support emotional well-being, reflection, and professional growth. These workshops are designed for therapists, educators, and other professionals seeking to deepen their connection with themselves and others through non-verbal, imaginative methods.

About Me…

Hi, I’m Sam, a registered psychotherapist with the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy), offering a warm, inclusive space for you to explore whatever you’re going through.

My path into therapy began when my father was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. I saw first-hand how little emotional support was available, not just for him, but for those who loved him. That experience shaped my commitment to offering steady, compassionate support to others.

I’ve worked with adults navigating grief, chronic illness, trauma, and life’s turning points, both in hospice and community settings. I offer talking therapy and, when words aren’t enough, creative approaches like imagery, journaling, or symbolic work to help you connect with what’s happening inside.

At the heart of my work is a deep respect for your story, your pace, and your need to feel seen. You don’t have to go through this alone.
