Hello and Welcome.....

 

I'm Samantha, and I'm an experienced and highly qualified Counsellor & Psychotherapist based in Ilkley, Bradford near Leeds. I've been helping adults for 25 years in the Voluntary Sector, NHS and in Private Practice for the last 20 years.

A bit about Me

​

I'm aware how important it is to find the 'right' therapist, because in my 20s, and like you, I recognised I needed some help with my day to day struggles. I had signs of depression and anxiety (I didn't realise at the time), which were affecting every aspect of my life, so I started to engaged  in Psychotherapy, which was life changing.

​

Counselling & Pschotherapy for Adults & Couples

​

Whatever happens to you between birth and age 12 becomes the blueprint for how you love, trust, attach and protect yourself as an adult - Not because you remember it consciously, but because your nervous system does.

​

I really enjoy working with people who are committed to learn more about themself. Those that are ready to let me help them untangle the messiness of life and experiences that have left them stressed, anxious, depressed, angry, feeling alone or overworking and so on. I'm an expert at bringing clarity to  peoples lives, helping you make sense of what doesn't make sense to you, as well as helping you to heal and resolve what hasn't been healed and resolved. 

​

I have learnt through my own experiences, my client work and studies, that depression and anxiety for example, are symptoms, signs that there is a much deeper root cause affecting your day to day. Whilst we need an awareness of past experiences, there is no need for it to be the main focus. The focus is what's happening now and how you want to be.​​​
