Hi, I’m Sam. I am a warm, qualified and experienced psychotherapist offering individual therapy both in-person in Bethnal Green and online, on either an open-ended or shorter-term basis.

I’m a relational psychodynamic therapist. This means I bring a curiosity in understanding how past experience influences the person that you are today, and provide an accepting, safe and collaborative space where we can work together to make sense of the questions or issues that you might bring to therapy. You can read more about me and my practice here.

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, with this greater understanding often follows 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.

I have worked with clients on a broad range of experience, including depression, anxiety, gender & sexuality, childhood trauma & abuse, relationships, experience of domestic violence & bereavement. Or perhaps you feel lost, confused or overwhelmed – and we can start together from there.

In addition to working privately, my experience includes working in community mental health services, working with people experiencing homelessness or precarious housing & many years voluntary experience in suicide prevention.

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 by using the contact button below.
