Hello and Welcome.....I'm Samantha, and I'm an experienced and highly qualified Psychotherapist based in Ilkley, Bradford near Leeds. I've been helping adults for 25 years in the Voluntary Sector, NHS (Staff Counsellor and Adult Mental Health Therapist) and in Private Practice for the last 20 years.

​​

A bit about Me

​

I really value insight into our unconscious, what we're unaware of and can't see about ourself, but what an experienced and well trained therapist can see. It can be really empowering and life changing, and I began this personal process in my 20s, attending to me so I can focus on you. 

​

20 years ago, when I decided to work privately to fit around my children, advertising wasn't online like it is now, it was mainly the Yellow Pages! I wanted to be found first when customers were starting to search from A-Z so came up with Arnica as it's a flower that heals, and thought it fit as a Business name.
