About the Therapist

About the therapist:

I'm Sam as someone who grew up their whole life struggling with their gender and sexual identity I can relate to the want to fit in and finding that difficult and having no one to talk to about that experience.

My hope is that I can be there for those who want to explore who they are without judgement using Gestalt therapy in the 'here and now' to understand how your relationships have formed and how they work for you when you're out in the world.

Ace | Asexual
Kink - BDSM
Other
Queer

Gender identity: I use another term

Intersex: No

Neurodivergent: No

Experience and approach:

I am a Gestalt therapist which essentially means that I believe that everyone has the capacity to create themselves in any given moment and that our past and patterns can often control how we view ourselves and the world around us. Sometimes behaviours that were useful to us in the past can get stuck and it feels like that stuckness then limits the choices we can make. Gestalt helps explore those patterns in a non judgemental and curious way and helps to free up energy to open new options.
