Sam Archer

I am a counsellor and psychotherapist with 10 years experience working with a range of issues from anxiety and depression to trauma and relationship challenges. When I first looked for a therapist for myself, I wanted more than someone who would just listen to me talk. I needed someone who knew their stuff, was down-to-earth, had the patience to stick with me while I tried to make sense of it all, would push me when I needed it, and would help me work out what to do next. I continue to spend my career attempting to get as close to that ideal as I possibly can.

I will support you in gaining a much clearer and deeper understanding of what you are experiencing in your life right now, to what extent your past experiences may have played a part in that, and how to build the tools and techniques required to move forward in life. Though at the heart of my practice is a person-centered and psychodynamic way of working, I also lean heavily on more practical, common-sense techniques surrounding our sleep, nutrition, exercise, relationships, and life purpose, that can be used to support growth and recovery and reduce the likelihood of future setbacks.

Contact me for a free 15 minute consultation. You can also message me by text, WhatsApp, or email with any questions you may have about the process of therapy. When you are ready, we will arrange a first meeting so I can conduct an informal assessment, and you can decide if you wish to continue.
