Sam | Counsellor/Psychotherapist

Counselling Cardiff

I believe the past is always present. Understanding links between your past and present can enable you to move forward with understanding and self-compassion. Embrace the future by resolving patterns that no longer serve you.

I'm an integrative therapist, which means I have been trained in different theories so I can adapt to your needs.  I also work relationally, believing the therapeutic relationship is healing in itself and focus on creating a genuine and healing connection. I offer a warm, secure, and confidential space to recover, heal and grow.

Although I work with a wide of issues in relation to trauma I have volunteered and worked in sexual abuse and domestic abuse agencies and undertaken training to work safely with trauma. I believe to recover, heal and grow it's not necessary to go back and discuss the trauma itself, unless you feel it would be helpful. Trauma takes away our power so it's important that you are in control of what we explore together, and we would work at your own pace.

​

You are an individual. So, although I bring my knowledge and experience, I will listen to you without judgement and assumptions about your unique experience.
