Sam | Counsellor and Trauma Therapist

Introduction

I’m offering a small number of reduced-rate sessions for Advanced Somatic EMDR at £55 per session. These spaces are limited and offered at a reduced rate for a short time.

Maybe your chest feels tight or your stomach is always unsettled.

Maybe your body stays on edge, even when part of you knows you’re safe.

Maybe your mind races, overthinking, replaying, worrying, while your body stays tense underneath it all or reacts, suddenly, intensely, and sometimes without warning.

If this feels familiar, you are not alone. Your body has been trying to protect you in the best way it knows how.

Therapy with me is a space where we gently begin to listen to those signals, rather than push them away. Together, we can start to notice what’s happening in your body, at a pace that feels right for you. You might begin to feel moments of settling where there was tension, a little more space where things once felt overwhelming, or a growing sense that you’re not as stuck as you thought.

I work with both young people and adults, and I shape the therapy around you. There is no one right way to do this. Some sessions might involve talking things through, while others might focus more on slowing down, noticing, and finding ways for your body to feel safer and more supported. Others might use varying techniques from the different therapy approaches that I am trained in that best meet your needs.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and led by you. We go at your pace, with care and flexibility, always paying attention to what feels manageable. There is no pressure to share more than you are ready for, and no expectation to have the right words.

Over time, many people find that things begin to shift, not just in how they think, but in how they feel.
A little more grounded.
A little less on edge.
A little more able to be present in their own life.

If this way of working sounds like it might suit you, you’re very welcome to get in touch. We can start with a gentle free 15-minute conversation and see if it feels like a good fit.
