Denise Sam

Tuesdays, Thursday and Fridays

I am a qualified Integrative Counsellor with over 17 years experience. I offer face to face, remote and walk and talk sessions.

You may be clear about your goals for counselling or perhaps you are unsure but that’s fine too. Sometimes by just having a space to be heard could help you to get to the bottom of what it is you may want to change. Sessions with me are warm open and non judgemental; I work in a way that helps you to gain a better understanding of yourself.

I am a trauma informed therapist and work with a broad range of presenting issues. Some of these can be:

Interpersonal (your relationships with family, friends, partners) PTSD/Complex PTSD, Work Related Stress issues, Anxiety, Health Anxiety Depression, Anger, Bereavement/Survivors of Suicide Loss, Child Sexual Abuse, Domestic Abuse, Sexual Violence, and Perimenopause/Menopause transition.

In addition to my private practice, I have worked for over 7 years as a counsellor for a charity supporting Women and Girls impacted by Sexual Violence.

I have also worked as a bereavement counselling volunteer where I gained valuable experience supporting clients struggling with grief and loss. 

Please call or email me to arrange a no obligation chat (up to 20 minutes) before deciding to book an initial consultation. 

Face to Face:

I offer sessions on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays

Remote/Online sessions:

I offer sessions over Zoom or Telephone on Tuesdays

Walk and Talk Sessions:

I am offering sessions outdoors for clients who may prefer this way of engaging with therapy. These sessions are currently available on Thursdays and Fridays.

This session is considered an initial consultation and follows our brief telephone chat. The fee for this appointment is £65.

Prior to our appointment, I will forward copies of my agreement/terms and privacy statement. These documents are for information purposes only at this stage.

My hope for this session is for you to get more of a sense of me and how we might work together on the issues that are important to you.

I will introduce myself and answer any questions you may have about my way of working, my qualifications, experience and anything else you may need to know about working with me.

When you are a little more settled, I will take a brief history of the issues you are struggling with, your hopes for therapy and complete an assessment of any risks I may need to be aware of. I take some very brief notes during the initial session only.

On conclusion of the session, I tend to suggest taking some time before getting in touch with a decision on whether you want to continue working with me. 

Available : Mondays, Tuesdays (online) and Thursdays
