Psychotherapy in East London
I bring a curiosity in understanding how past experience influences the person that you are today, and provide an warm, accepting and collaborative space where we can work together to make sense of the questions or issues that you might bring to therapy.
At its heart, therapy is an opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of yourself, the ways in which you relate to yourself and others, and the patterns in your life which seem to repeat themselves.
Whilst therapy never promises easy answers, this greater understanding often leads to change – to help you to cope with the parts of life which feel the most overwhelming, to find more authentic ways of living, and to feel more agency, meaning and hope for what comes next.
Hi, I’m Sam. I’m a relational psychodynamic therapist based in Bethnal Green.
I have worked with clients on a broad range of issues and experience, including depression, anxiety, gender & sexuality, childhood trauma & abuse, difficulty with relationships, sex or intimacy, experience of domestic violence & bereavement.
Or perhaps you feel lost, confused or overwhelmed – and we can start together there.
In addition to working privately, my therapeutic experience includes working in community mental health services, working with people experiencing homelessness or precarious housing & many years voluntary experience in suicide prevention.
I work in-person from my comfortable, private and welcoming space at St. Margaret’s House, E2 9PL, as well as online.
Starting therapy can feel daunting – so if you have any questions, or would like to discuss working together, please do get in touch with me at hello@sambriggspsychotherapy.com or via my contact page.
