Samantha Salmon

My main hours of working are Monday 7am until 8pm and Tuesday 7am until 4pm. 

Although it is worth enquiring as I may have available sessions on other days.

I work mainly by phone or over Zoom and are able to offer some F2F sessions.

Hi, my name is Sam.

My modality is integrated, my background being person-centered  integrated with CBT and solution-focused. I work with long- and short-term counselling.

I have over 30 years of professional work experience and counselling.

Counselling young people and adults with symptoms of stress, anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse/rape, bullying & coping with grief and loss, and work issues, plus many more.

Working within mental health, challenging behavior, and neurodiversity;. I was a mentor at a university and am a young person practitioner with young people excluded from schools.

I have worked in EAPs for seven years and five of them in management running a counselling helpline.

My specialism is domestic abuse, with over fifteen years working in the field and a qualified IDVA and a level 3 in safeguarding.

I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths within you that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. It takes courage to seek out support and take the first steps towards change. I am here to support and empower you in that journey and work towards a more fulfilling and happier life.

I will work with you to gain an understanding of yourself , and how you interact with others. Also to gain an understanding of your issues and how to move forward.

Firstly, I will offer a 15-minute phone call to make sure you understand what counselling is and that we are a positive match.

In the first session, I will complete an assessment to gain an understanding of where you are in your journey  and what has brought you to counselling. I will explain about confidentiality and the limitations of this.
