I am currently open to face to face, online and telephone clients

My current availability is:

Wednesday from 2pm-5pm

Thursday, 9am-5pm with some evening flexibility

Friday from 9am-5pm

Limited availability on weekends

I’m Sam Parker, a Íø±¬ÃÅ-registered counsellor - based in Didsbury, Manchester - specialising in person-centred counselling for adults and young people.

I became a counsellor because I genuinely care about people knowing they’re not alone.

I support clients facing a wide range of issues, including but not exclusive to:

‸¾±ð±è°ù±ð²õ²õ¾±´Ç²Ô

Anxiety

Eating distress and eating disorders

Suicidal ideation

Self-harm

Behavioural and substance based addictions

Bereavement and grief

Chronic and physical health challenges

Life-limiting illness

Neurodiversity and related experiences

Issues relating to faith or religion

​I have over eight years of professional experience working with wellbeing, mental health and addiction. Primarily I have worked with individuals, and have been responsible for managing and training staff who do the same. During this time I have worked with individuals aged from 11 to 75+ on all of the issues listed above and more. This has included working in Alternative Provision and Education, an NHS Bereavement Service and with multiple local and national charities.

​​Before this career I studied Theatre at University to a Masters level. I love being creative, and creativity remains a big part of how I think and connect. 

I will always honour the depth of what you bring and I like to build a relationship with clients where you feel comfortable to do so.

I offer a counselling approach that is non-judgmental, stigma-free, and centred around you. My priority is to create a warm, compassionate, and safe space where you can explore whatever is on your mind. You set the pace, and together we’ll explore what matters most to you.

I use a person-centred and trauma informed approach, which means you are always at the heart of our work together. I’ll sit with you, listen and accept you where you are. I will help you to make sense of your experiences and connect with your feelings and sense of self.​

No matter what the difficulty is that you are facing, when working with me you will be considered an individual. Only you fully know your experiences and how they have impacted you. I will ensure throughout our time together that this is at the foundation of the work we do.​​​

I offer online and face to face sessions. Face to face sessions happen at my office in Didsbury, Manchester. This office is easily accessible by bus, train, and tram. If you are driving there is free parking at the rear of the building.​

Before booking, why not get in touch for a free, no obligation 20-minute phone or video call?

​This gives us both a chance to see whether working together feels like the right fit. If it doesn’t, that’s completely fine. The most important thing in counselling is the relationship you have with your counsellor, you have to feel comfortable to share with that person. 

On this call I will cover how I work as a counsellor, introduce you to more about person centred counselling and ask more about what's brought you to counselling. Doing this helps you to decide if you would like to move forward. If you do we can book in a first session and start working together.
