More about Sam

  • 6 years' experience
  • Male
  • BACP

I am a qualified person-centred counsellor in the United Kingdom with 6 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping both adults and young people with stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, coping with addictions, coping with grief, and loss. I approach all of these topics in a way that focuses on the individual experience of the person, and that reduces the feeling of shame that can stop us talking about them.

I also have experience working with coping with significant life changes, whether that is due to ongoing or life limiting health issues, relationship breakdowns, or just the changes that life brings. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our sessions to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek out support and my hope is that it will help you to lead a more fulfilling life. Sometimes taking the steps towards a change can leave you feeling vulnerable or lonely. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
