About Sam
Sam trained in Psychotherapy at The Mary Ward Centre and at Kingston College, London, and has developed practical experience across a broad range of settings. His work history includes the NHS, the English prison service, student wellbeing centres, Shelter housing services, the UK criminal justice system, family health centres, general practitioner services, and addiction centres. Together these roles have informed a flexible practice that responds to diverse life situations and difficulties.
He specialises in anxiety, depression, addiction, trauma, self-esteem difficulties, bereavement, ADHD, stress, anger management, and loneliness, and he also works with issues such as relationship concerns, attachment and abandonment, body image, chronic illness, caregiving stress, and blended family dynamics. Sam offers online sessions designed to fit around modern life, enabling people to access therapy where and when it suits them without unnecessary travel or disruption to daily responsibilities.
Approaches and practical benefits of online therapy
Sam draws on person-centred methods that prioritise the client’s own perspective, offering a supportive, non-directive environment where personal strengths and present feelings guide the work. This approach can be especially helpful for building self-awareness, improving self-esteem, and managing day-to-day stress. He also uses psychodynamic ideas to explore how past relationships and early experiences shape current patterns of thought and behaviour - a useful route for understanding recurring relationship difficulties, trauma responses, and long-standing emotional habits.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. Sam works collaboratively with each person to identify which techniques fit best with their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the style and pace as the therapy progresses so the work remains relevant and manageable.
Online therapy with Sam is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which allows for greater flexibility around work, family, and other commitments. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, reduce travel time, and access support from different locations, while keeping the focus on practical, evidence-informed methods to address concerns such as anxiety, addiction, trauma, and depression.
