Counselling and Therapy

Hi, my name is Sam, and I am a fully qualified Counsellor and Hypnotherapist. I work with individuals to resolve personal difficulties providing relief from mental health problems such as anxiety, stress, depression and trauma.

I help clients find their own solutions by supporting them in making effective changes in their lives or by helping them develop new strategies for managing their mental health.

We can be any of these states of mind, with different faces in different places.

Counselling

Find your sense of balance & calm.

In a world that often feels overwhelming – filled with heightened anxiety, stress and depression, life seems to have become even more challenging than ever. While we generally manage these difficulties on our own, there are times when seeking support can make all the difference.

Stress

While stress is a normal part of life and in some cases even manageable without the need for professional assistance, this may not always be the case.

Anxiety

“Anxiety stems from our ‘flight or fight’ response. This happens when our body feels as if it’s in danger,” This is an automatic reaction that can with practice be managed.

Depression

Depression affects people in a variety of different ways. It’s not just about feeling sad. It can have an impact on your body, mood, behaviour and thoughts

Bereavement

Grief is a normal process and there is no right or wrong way to grieve. Everyone’s grief is unique to them. But sometimes it is helpful to be able to talk and relieve the pressure of loss.

Regression

Regression therapy is an approach to treatment that focuses on resolving significant past events believed to be interfering with a person’s present mental and emotional wellness.

Controlling Difficult Emotions

Negative emotions like sadness, anger, loneliness, jealousy, self-criticism, fear, or rejection can be difficult, even painful at times. Learn about self control and focus.

Therapies

Therapies are available in the following forms, tailored to the individual’s needs utilizing various techniques. I am trained and certified in the following:

  • Hypnotherapy
  • CONTROL System Therapy
  • Thought Field Therapy

Hypnotherapy

When I trained as a counsellor, I also chose to study hypnotherapy because I believe these two approaches work beautifully together. Counselling gives you a safe space to talk openly about your thoughts, feelings, and experiences, while hypnotherapy gently accesses the subconscious mind to help uncover deeper patterns or beliefs that may be holding you back.

Hypnotherapy is a calming and relaxing experience. It helps quiet busy thoughts, increase self-awareness, and allow emotions to be processed in a supportive way. Many people find it deeply peaceful and empowering.

By combining counselling and hypnotherapy, we create a personalised approach that supports healing at both a conscious and subconscious level. Together, we’ll work at your pace, focusing on what feels right for you — helping you move toward positive change, inner balance, and emotional wellbeing.

Find peace, and calm the inner turmoil.

Past Life Regression

A calm and relaxed journey of self-discovery

If you’re curious about Past Life Regression, this gentle guided experience offers a safe space to explore deeper awareness and personal insight. It can help you:

  • Reflect on meaningful lessons
  • Gently challenge limiting thoughts or beliefs
  • Reconnect with yourself through guided exploration

Whether you’re simply curious or seeking deeper understanding, this experience is always led with care, respect, and compassion.

A calm, relaxed journey back

  • Acknowledge and embrace the key lessons learned.
  • Confront challenging thoughts and beliefs.
  • Centre your focus back through your past lives.

You may gain many new perspectives from a session such as helping you to understand and resolve current relationships, unravel emotional problems including phobias and compulsions, and heal physical symptoms. All from re-experiencing and processing a past memory.

CONTROL System Therapy

The Control Method, created by Tim Box, is a gentle yet powerful way to help you work with your subconscious mind and create lasting, positive change.

It’s based on the understanding that much of what we think, feel, and do happens automatically — and that by learning how to communicate with the deeper part of your mind, you can reshape those patterns in ways that truly support you.

Rather than relying on willpower or long, drawn-out processes, the Control Method offers a calm and straightforward approach that helps you release unhelpful responses and restore a sense of balance and confidence.

It’s not about fixing what’s “wrong.” It’s about helping you reconnect with your natural ability to feel steady, capable, and in control of your thoughts, emotions, and behaviours — because the change comes from you.

Free Consultation

You’re very welcome to arrange a free consultation. This relaxed session gives us a chance to meet, talk through what’s going on for you, and see whether the Control Method feels like the right approach.

If you decide to go ahead, we’ll then arrange three follow-up sessions — where you take the lead in making the changes that matter most to you, with guidance and support every step of the way.

Thought Field Therapy

Thought Field Therapy (TFT), also known as ‘tapping’, is a gentle and supportive technique designed to help release emotional distress. This helps restore emotional balance by tapping on specific places or energy points on your body in a specific order, known as algorithms – which is something that can safely be self-applied.

TFT works with your body’s energy system to address emotional challenges. While focusing on your feelings (a particular thought field), the tapping can help calm your mind, reduce stress, and create a sense of inner peace.

Many people find TFT particularly helpful for managing anxiety, fears, and past traumas in a simple yet effective way. When combined with counselling and hypnotherapy, TFT can enhance your overall experience, providing practical tools to empower you whenever you need support.
