Sam | Trauma and Anxiety Therapist

Introduction

You might feel constantly on edge, like your body can’t fully switch off.

Or your mind races, overthinking, replaying, worrying, while your body stays tense underneath it all.

For some, it shows up as anxiety or panic that feels sudden or overwhelming.
For others, fears or phobias begin to limit everyday life.
And sometimes, it’s a sense of loss or heaviness that hasn’t eased, even though time has passed.

I work with both young people and adults. If you’re younger, you might not always have the words for what’s going on, but you know something doesn’t feel right. If you’re an adult, you may have been carrying this quietly for a long time while trying to keep going. However it shows up, your body has been trying to protect you in the best way it can.

My approach brings gentle awareness to both mind and body. Alongside talking, we may also slow things down and begin to notice what’s happening in your body, helping you feel more grounded, settled, and in control over time.

Sessions are shaped around you. Some people want space to talk and be heard, while others are looking for more practical ways to manage anxiety or fear. We can move between both, always at a pace that feels manageable.

I work in a warm, collaborative, and flexible way. There’s no pressure to share more than you’re ready for, and no expectation to have the “right” words. We focus on what you need in each moment.

Over time, many people notice a shift, not just in their thoughts, but in how they feel day to day.
A little more calm.
A little less overwhelmed.
A little more able to be present in their life.

If you feel this might be the right kind of support for you, you’re very welcome to get in touch. We can arrange a free initial conversation to see if working together feels like a good fit.

Online therapy

I offer online therapy sessions. Although we are working remotely, the therapy remains relational and supportive. We will use conversation alongside gentle awareness of how experiences show up in the body, such as sensations, breath, or tension, always at a pace that feels right for you. Many people find online work feels safe and accessible, as it allows them to be in a familiar environment while still feeling fully supported.

Following an initial call to discuss your needs, we will agree on a regular time and day for your sessions.

Sessions are usually held online via Google Meet. I will send you a secure link before each session, allowing you to join from a private, comfortable space that feels right for you. Your sessions will always take place at the same agreed time and day, creating a consistent and reliable space just for you.

Sessions can be weekly or fortnightly, depending on what works best for you.

Where needed, I am also able to offer telephone sessions as an alternative.

Specialisations and Expertises

My specialist combined approach is trauma-informed, relational, and body-aware, drawing on both talking therapy and gentle somatic awareness within a safe, supportive therapeutic relationship. I support clients to explore how their experiences are held not only in thoughts, but also in the body, such as through tension, anxiety, shutdown, or heightened alertness.

Working at your pace, we pay attention to what feels safe and manageable, helping you gradually feel more grounded, present, and in control. We will only move into deeper therapeutic work when and if you feel ready and supported enough to do so, and you remain in control of the pace throughout. This approach can be helpful for anxiety, trauma, phobias, and grief, supporting both emotional understanding and a deeper sense of safety within the body.

I draw on a range of therapeutic approaches and tailor our work to your individual needs. In our first session, we will gently explore what has brought you to therapy and think together about how we can work in a way that feels most helpful and comfortable for you.

The number of sessions is flexible and guided by your needs. There is no fixed limit, and this can be reviewed and adapted as our work develops.
