PLEASE NOTE: I am currently working online only due to breaking my hip in March. I will update when I am back to face to face sessions!

Are you looking for a therapist for your child? Does your child struggle with anxiety? Perhaps your child is having issues with self-harm, or is on the verge of being excluded from school? Does your child have trauma that they need to unpack in a safe and understanding environment?

My name is Sam, I am an experienced counsellor working predominantly with secondary-school age children (11-18) and young people (18-25) and I am based in Wheathampstead, Hertfordshire. I also see clients online.

I may not look like your typical counsellor, but that’s the point! I have been hired solely because I don’t look how people expect a therapist to look. I am an outside-the-box thinker, a bit of a rebel, and I can still provide a safe and nurturing space to heal, gain clarity and rebuild self-esteem. I provide my clients with compassionate support that helps them navigate life’s challenges.

In a session with me, clients can let their words hit the air without fear of judgement or punishment, in the presence of another who has fought many of their own battles and sees them do the same. Crying, swearing, raging, or simply just talking about the day – all is welcome here.

My lived experience is integral to my practice and my focus is on building the relationship between myself and my client, in order to create a safe space in which to explore their anxieties, troubles, traumas, and other things that are otherwise difficult to address.

If you feel I might be a good fit for you or your child, or to have an informal discussion about your needs, please use the contact form below. I look forward to speaking with you.
