Sam Southey
EMDR Practitioner in Remote Counselling

Lots of us face challenging situations at some stage in our lives, which may feel difficult to manage. It's not always easy to talk with family or friends and sometimes we worry that bringing something old and / or hidden up to the surface will cause more problems. I offer a confidential and non-judgemental space in which we can work together to think about what's going on. I can help you to develop insight and understanding by exploring the past and its impact on the present. This can reduce anxiety and uncomfortable thoughts and improve our relationships with others.

I'm a qualified psychodynamic counsellor and EMDR practitioner working with adults, primarily online. I offer weekly sessions where we will work at your pace.
I appreciate that it can feel daunting to reach out and seek support. If you would like to get in touch to talk about how I can help you, please call, or email me. Your first session is an opportunity to see whether you think we can work together.

My Specialisms

I offer a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space in which we can work together to think about the issues that you are struggling with. I am experienced and trained to listen to you and will help you to develop insight and understanding. I believe that past experiences, particularly those of childhood, influence how we feel about ourselves and the patterns that we repeat in our relationships with other people.

Approach to EMDR & How I Work

I offer regular weekly sessions on an open-ended or time-limited basis. We will work at your pace and we can regularly review your progress and your thoughts and feelings about the work we do together. If you would like more information about my practice and what I can offer please see my website.
