About me and my therapy practice
Welcome, I'm Sam, an integrative therapist practising in Brighton and online.
I hold space that has your healing and growth as a person at its heart - supporting increased trust and confidence in yourself, your relationships and the environment around you.
Whatever difficulties you might currently be facing or have experienced in the past, therapy is a sacred space where you are fully welcome to arrive just as you are, in a relationship in which you can be genuinely seen and heard. My commitment to you is to support you growing in your capacity to navigate a life that is meaningful to you, nurturing an authentic and self-compassionate understanding of yourself.
Understanding, appreciating and becoming our authentic selves is one of our principle underlying drives - one I believe is worthy of our attention and dedication.
Authenticity and Vulnerability
鈥淭he Truth will set you free鈥 - a well-known and timelessly profound statement.
The difficulty, however, is that our own subjective truths can often be obscure, even to ourselves. Expressing our true selves requires a degree of exploration and vulnerability - and our capacity for this may have been impacted negatively by challenging, traumatic or hurtful experiences in our lives.
Fear and pain can very naturally lead hiding, criticising or shutting off parts of ourselves. I offer a nurturing space to explore your authenticity with courage and compassion - working through and releasing such difficult emotions or patterns that may currently be working overtime to protect you.
My intention is to be caring, patient and compassionate towards how things are for you right now, whilst at the same time aim together towards your authentic potential.
Practice description
I'm an Integrative therapist, with a relational and person-centred focus
Integrative: an adaptable and dynamic approach, integrating several therapeutic modalities. It is rooted in our collective humanness, tailored to your personal experience. I support clients with a wide range of difficulties including anxiety, anger, depression, trauma, self-esteem, relationships, life direction, identity, existential and spiritual difficulties.
Relational: embracing that therapy takes place in relationship between two real people. A genuine relationship creates the space for the real you to continue to emerge and be seen, and the therapeutic alliance between therapist and client is the safe container where our work takes place.
Person-centred: we trust your individual process and respect your autonomy. Each person has the right to self-determine their own process and life choices, and my practice is rooted in this principle. We recognise that although engaging with therapeutic support, you remain the expert of your own experience. This makes the work more integratable into your life outside and beyond therapy.
Together we balance support for what鈥檚 arising in your life at the moment, with a compassionate exploration of deeper material either current or past - paying careful and respectful attention to both.
My first session
Free initial consultation
If you are interested in beginning work together, I invite you to request a free 20 minute video consultation. This is an open opportunity to connect and get a sense of what working together might be like. I will create the space to share/ask as much or as little as feels right for you.
First full session
We may then discuss options for arranging a 60 minute session. This will be gently structured around an assessment, involving more questions from me to facilitate landing into the space and identifying your current difficulties and intentions for therapy.
Ongoing therapy
Weekly 60 minute sessions.
Cancellation
I operate a 48 hour cancellation policy.
