Counselling and EMDR Therapy Online and In Person

Using a combination of psychodynamic and Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) to help take the heat out of painful memories, I aim to create a safe and compassionate space for us to work together collaboratively.

About Sam Southey Counselling

I have a private practice working primarily online using video and telephone calls and I work with people across the UK. I have a confidential space available in the Scottish Highlands for those who wish to work in person.   

Using a combination of psychodynamic and Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) to help take the heat out of painful memories, I aim to create a safe and compassionate space for us to work together collaboratively.

I have background in learning and development and work as a counselling tutor, teaching people who are interested in becoming a psychodynamic therapist. 

I also work as counsellor offering affordable therapy with Gloucestershire Counselling Service who are a British Psychoanalytic Council member institution and I offer counselling and EMDR through Avon Counselling and Psychotherapy Service.  With both of these organisations, we share a belief in making therapy widely accessible and affordable to those who are on benefits, or a low income.

In the past, I’ve worked with FTSE 250 companies as a coach, with local community colleges supporting Drugs and Alcohol Services, with Youth Offending Teams as a mentor and I worked with Gloucestershire Rape & Sexual Abuse Centre (GRASAC). I have offered counselling in both charities and private settings, working with adults to help them to overcome the emotional challenges of life.
