Samia Rida

I am currently have limited availability to take on new clients. I offer flexible hours. I can see clients online and also in person from my home in Ealing. I offer a 20 minute free online consultation as a starting point. 

I am a BACP registered psychotherapeutic counsellor. Life can be painful & confusing at times & we can feel like we are stuck. I offer a friendly and non-judgemental space to those seeking support for difficulties causing distress with their emotional wellbeing and daily functioning. I tailor my work to meet the needs of clients and their goals. I have worked with a range of issues such as depression, anxiety, trauma, anger, grief, relationship struggles, money problems, work challenges alongside the more fundamental existential questions.

I am a psychotherapeutic counsellor. I am trained in an integrative style of counselling which draws on the humanistic and person centred schools of thought. This style draws on using the therapeutic relationship to creating healing which is central in contributing to successful outcomes. I believe in creating a non-judgmental atmosphere within which the client can explore their struggles freely and understand themselves more fully. I believe it is normal to feel overwhelmed, disconnected and anxious and that the human experience is messy and confusing as well as at times wonderful. From a place of self acceptance, self understanding and empathy I feel we are more well placed to then make the changes we want to, especially within a supportive and unconditionally accepting relationship which is what I am dedicated to offering in sessions. I also incorporate mindfulness, my experience as a yoga teacher and vagus nerve work. I tailor my session to the individual client and believe in adapting to the individual. 

You can message me from this link to arrange a 20 minute no cost, no obligation chat by zoom or phone to begin with. From here you can take your time to decide if you'd like to go ahead with a first session.
