About me and my therapy practice
Hello, I鈥檓 Sam, a registered psychotherapist working in South London and online. I believe therapy is built on a safe, supportive relationship where you can explore your thoughts and feelings without judgement. 鈥淚t鈥檚 the relationship that heals,鈥 (Irvin D. Yalom) and I hold this at the heart of my work.
My background
I have a wide range of clinical experience working with clients from all walks of life, and have worked in depth with young adults and students, neurodivergent adults, stress and burnout, and people in creative industries.
Before becoming a psychotherapist I worked for over a decade in the demanding events and hospitality industry, which gave me first-hand experience of the pressures of high-stress environments and the impact they can have on wellbeing. This insight helps me relate to clients who feel under pressure, overwhelmed or burned out.
What to expect
I am an integrative therapist, mainly following a psychodynamic and person-centred approach. In short, this means I believe our previous experiences and relationships shape who we are today, and that everyone has the potential for personal growth.
Together, we鈥檒l develop an approach that feels supportive and meaningful for you.
Practice description

- Anxiety, worry and overthinking
