About me.

Hello, my name is Sam and for me mental health is still an area that needs to be more accessible for everyone. There are a number of reasons people find getting the support they need difficult, not enough counsellors available, not being able to get the treatment they want, not being able to get to the counsellor and cost.

I am able to offer a nice quiet, safe counselling room with a friendly, empathetic, non judgemental, calm atmosphere. If you are unable to physically get to see me, i can offer counselling via zoom meetings. The most important thing is getting the help you need in the most suitable way for you.

To be more accessible to the people that need help i am able to start the treatment at your home, so if leaving your home is the source of your anxiety a treatment plan can be made to combat this. This can be discussed on an individual basis and prices agreed prior to treatment, the aim would be to do a couple of sessions in your home with the goal of getting you feeling up to coming out the house to finish treatment in my counselling room.

To be truly healthy you need to have good mental health as well as physical health. Mind and body are connected, what affects the body will affect the mind and visa versa. Mental stress can manifest in physical pain.

I feel that everyone needs to have belief in themselves and a strong sense of self worth, we are all important. It is important that we all believe we can achieve anything we want to, we have the courage to follow our dreams. We should all be comfortable in our own skins.
