Relational Integrative Therapist
About Samantha
Hello, I’m Samantha, I am passionate about helping people navigate life’s challenges. My therapy journey was shaped by my own lived experiences, which gave me a deep understanding of the transformative power of therapy. Having benefited from therapy myself, I wanted to dedicate my career to helping others heal and grow in the same way.
My Approach
I take an integrative approach, drawing on psychodynamic, humanistic, and CBT modalities, but I work deeply on a psychodynamic level. This means we explore the unconscious patterns and early experiences that have influenced how you relate to others today. Through this work, we can uncover the root causes of relational difficulties and create lasting change.
I believe that relationships are central to our emotional well-being. When our relationships feel difficult, we can feel lost, misunderstood, or emotionally drained. But when we begin to understand ourselves more deeply, we can shift these patterns, build stronger connections, and move towards healthier, more fulfilling relationships.
Qualifications
I hold a BA (Hons) in Integrative Therapy, and I am a accredited registered member of NCPS. My training has provided me with the knowledge and skills to support individuals with a wide range of emotional and mental health challenges.
Why I Became a Therapist
My decision to become a therapist was driven by my own experiences of seeking help. Therapy has had a profound impact on my life, and I wanted to share that gift with others. I understand what it feels like to face challenges and have found that the therapeutic relationship can offer profound healing, clarity, and hope. It’s this same sense of support and understanding that I strive to offer to every person I work with.
Continued Professional Development
I am committed to providing the highest standard of care, which is why I continuously engage in professional development. I regularly attend workshops, training, and courses to expand my knowledge and stay up-to-date with the latest therapeutic approaches. This ensures I can offer my clients the most effective tools and interventions to help them achieve their goals.
Supervision
To maintain the quality and integrity of my practice, I participate in monthly supervision. This allows me to reflect on my work, ensure that I am offering the best care possible, and continue growing both professionally and personally.
