Hello and Welcome, Life has indeed become complex. Many of us are now struggling with our mental health in ways that are no longer manageable. Our past and present hurts, our unprocessed feelings have risen to the surface. We find ourselves thinking, feeling and acting in ways that do not reflect who we want to be. Some of us have Grief, Trauma or Addiction that we just can’t seem to work through. As a Senior Accredited Psychotherapist with a Master Degree and EMDR Accredited, I've seen thousands come through my door, with various presenting issues and undergo genuine transformation, healing and leave with hope for the future.

As a psychotherapist, I help people who have difficulties in their relationships with others. They often feel fear of rejection and have a sense of loneliness. These problems can stem from various causes, such as difficult relationships with parents, low self-esteem, depressive or anxiety disorders, a life crisis, or addiction. I assist in identifying the source of these difficulties and work on resolving them.

​I believe that psychotherapy has the potential to get to the root of distress. Through a safe and confidential therapeutic relationship, we can come to understand ourselves better and live with more fulfilment, freedom and self-acceptance. Having been in therapy myself, I know first-hand that the process and effects can be profound. Part of this means looking at how experiences and relationships from earlier in your life are affecting things now. And part of this means learning to be with your present-day experience in a different way – becoming more mindful and curious about your emotions, your mind and your body.

Therapy is a space for you: to feel understood and listened to. Perhaps for the first time. And it is through this fundamental encounter that you can feel more able and alive. Our work together can support you in making a change, reflecting on painful experience, bearing a loss, finding a purpose. It can support you in these - and more - through creating new awareness, making helpful connections and finding a way forward. Therapy provides a way for you to understand, confront, resolve, heal and grow. I provide a safe, welcoming space for you to explore whatever it is that you need and want. In confidence and without judgement.

People can sometimes think of therapy as a sign of weakness, when really it’s a sign of courage and strength. Therapy means not having to face your issues alone. It also offers the opportunity for exploration and insight, empowering you to understand yourself better and make long-lasting change. I provide a warm, safe, confidential and non-judgemental space where you can come as you are, and together we can think about and make sense of whatever’s troubling you. I work with a range of issues including: anxiety, low mood, self-esteem, relationship difficulties, cultural difficulties, compulsive behaviours, bereavement and self-harm.

My psychodynamic training takes into account the connections between the past and the present and in the frame of how we engage, things can become apparent that you may have not been aware of. The nuances of how this promotes change has been expressed by my clients. I also work as a trauma informed counsellor which has enriched my experience as a therapist. I have experience working with self esteem, anxiety, abuse and much more. There may be things from your past that you feel are stopping you from moving forward. In our sessions we can explore what you bring, what your goals are and what it would look like to achieve them.

Focusing on the 'therapy' aspect of 'music therapy', we utilise music to foster a strong client-therapist relationship.

Therapy gives you the space to work out or simply remember what you want, what options you have to get it - and what gets in the way. We would work together to identify what you need and what changes are required to get closer to this. I believe clear advice can be helpful, drawing on experience and on psychological theory and research, but however we work it must make sense to you and be your choice. Above all, I see us as an alliance of equals with different insights and strengths. This collaboration is at the heart of successful therapy.

I’m Sam - I’ve been a psychotherapist for about eight years. I became a therapist because I had been in therapy for years myself and it really helped, and so I wanted to support others in the same way. I’m Scottish living in Central London, a gay man and I work with people of any gender or sexual orientation - I have a wide mix of clients, some straight, some gay, some people of colour, some white, male, female, non binary and everything in between. I’m 50 years old, had countless jobs and lots of life experience before training in psychotherapy. My style is warm, non-judgmental, empathic and challenging when appropriate!

Are you struggling to make sense of why your relationships are failing? Do you find social interactions cause you anxiety? Do you see repeated patterns, caused by the scars from your childhood still causing you pain now? These are the deeper emotional wounds I can help with. My therapy combines various methods to heal these deeper pains. I help clients from young to elderly; male, female or gender neutral. It could be from having difficulties with boundaries in life which you want to change to something as simple as wanting to reach a specific goal in life.
