Evy Al-Adhami Samuelsson

I have availability for sessions on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays - both daytime and evening slots available

My approach is to work relationally, which means that I see the therapeutic relationship as fundamental to the process. This relational approach is often what can bring about true change.

I work integratively which means I will be using different tools and theories. We may draw on humanistic ideas such as person-centred therapy, which values your unique experiences and empowers you to make positive changes. We may also bring in existential and psychodynamic practices, such as attachment theory, to understand how your past relationships might be influencing your present.

Because the link between mind and body is so important, I often incorporate body-based techniques. These can range from simple breathing exercises and mindfulness practices to help you connect with your physical sensations and find a sense of calm. Throughout our work together, we may reflect on your past and how it might be affecting you today. We may also reflect on intergenerational trauma and the influence of the outside world on your mental health, particularly how experiences of marginalisation or inequality can play a role.

I hold a Diploma in Integrative Counselling from the Minster Centre in London. The Minster Centre is one of the leading integrative psychotherapy training centres in Europe.

My practice is based in central Brighton close to the Pavilion/North Laine. This practice is not wheelchair accessible.

I also offer sessions online.

Introductory call: I offer a free 15 to 20 minute initial phone call to talk through what is bringing you to therapy and how I can support you. This is free of charge and with no obligation to continue.

First session: If after the this initial call you think you would like to work with me I will then offer a 50-minute long session where we can explore further what is bringing you to therapy, what you might struggle with and what goals you may have for therapy and I can also answer any questions you might have about my way of working. This session will be charged at a reduced rate of £50 with no obligation to continue.
