TESTIMONIALS

After a false start with another Counsellor, Sam was  recommended to me by a friend.  From the very first session, I found her easy to talk to, patient and engaging.  She created a safe space for me to share deeply personal experiences which helped me to get to the root causes of my anxiety.
Through identifying and understanding these causes, Sam helped me to develop effective tools to manage my anxiety and to challenge my negative beliefs.  I never felt pressured to talk about anything until I was ready and the sessions only ever moved at a pace I was totally comfortable with.  Sam is a genuinely kind and compassionate person and an excellent listener.   She has helped me to change how I deal with the ups and downs of life and taught me how to be kinder to myself.
I am no longer frightened by my occasional feelings of anxiety or panic.  I have now replaced these negative ‘coping mechanisms’ with new, healthy tools.  I no longer wake each day with feelings of dread, instead I feel stronger, calmer and more in control of my emotions.  I now have genuine confidence in my ability to deal with  anything life throws at me and feel happy and positive about my future, so thank you Sam!
