Specialist Cognitive Behavioural Therapist
Wellbeing & Performance Coach
My name is Sam and I am a Consultant Chartered Psychologist with over 20 years of expertise in Adult Mental Health and Wellbeing & Performance.
I have worked as a Clinical Team Leader in the NHS and in a global leading Harley Street private practice. I am expertly focused on achieving long term wellbeing and a meaningful life for every individual across personal and professional domains whilst addressing any stressors or underlying mental health difficulties. I have worked with a broad range of client including clients from the Big 4 and Magic Circle law firms, elite executives, as well as sports teams including McLaren, Premier League Football, National and International Rugby and National Rowing.
Ultimately, I am interested in helping individuals thrive whether that is in relation to the individual's self worth and performance; professional relationships in the workplace; or in personal relationships. All these components connect together to ensure wellbeing.
I was appointed as Course Director for two MSc programmes in Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, as a Lecturer in Psychology of Mental Health in Neurosciebceand I have worked as a Senior Lecturer in Psychology on doctoral programmes training future psychologists. I have a passion for service design having co-designed and implemented an NHS primary care service, and developed and directed an MSc CBT course at Goldsmiths, University of London.
My main therapeutic approaches are Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness therapies, Compassion Focused Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). I am also trained in psychodynamic therapy. The therapy is adapted to the individual to meet their unique needs and goals. I offer assessments and treatment to individuals.
Couples, Parenting & Relationships
Alongside my work with individuals, I work with couples and with parents who would like to better understand and improve the important relationships in their lives.
Couples may come to me because of recurring conflict, difficulties communicating, changes in intimacy or trust, or the pressures of work, parenting and life transitions. Others simply feel they have become disconnected and want to strengthen their relationship. I help couples understand the patterns between them, communicate more effectively and find more constructive ways of responding to one another.
I also work with parents, either individually or together, who would like support with the challenges of parenting. This may involve understanding a particular behaviour or stage of development, managing different parenting approaches, improving communication within the family, or finding a better balance between parenting, work, relationships and their own wellbeing.
My interest in couples, parenting and family relationships spans more than 30 years including work as a Child Psychology Specialist, an ASD/ADHD assessor, an author of a set of Parent Guides and a Course Director of an MSc in Child, Adolescent and Family Mental Health.
