If You're Here
Something in your life may feel heavy, confusing, or simply in need of care. You might be longing for:
Understanding
Someone to really listen
Connection
A relationship where you don't have to hold everything together
Space
Time that is just for you, where you can slow down and breathe
My role is to offer that space and to meet you just as you are, without judgment or pressure.
Who I Support
People come to therapy with me for many reasons. You may recognise yourself in experiences such as:
- Feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck
- Struggling with low self-esteem or confidence
- Feeling disconnected from yourself or others
- Carrying shame or self-criticism
- Noticing repeating patterns in relationships
- Navigating a life change or transition
- Struggling with loss or grief
- Feeling unsure of who you are or what you need
- Being impacted by trauma or difficult early experiences
- Wanting things to be different but not knowing where to begin
Whatever brings you here, you don't have to face it alone.
How I Work
I don't see you as a set of symptoms or a problem to be solved. You are a whole person with a story, a history, and ways of coping that have made sense in the context of your life.
Together, we explore your experiences with curiosity and compassion, helping you reconnect with parts of yourself that may have been pushed aside, silenced, or misunderstood.
You can expect me to be:
- Warm and genuine
- Attuned to your emotional world
- Respectful of your pace and boundaries
- Curious about your lived experience
- Committed to your safety and well-being
Our relationship becomes the foundation for healing, a place where you can feel seen, heard, and supported.
What Therapy with Me Feels Like
In our sessions, we pay attention to what's happening for you right now:
- Your feelings and emotions
- Your thoughts and beliefs
- Your body sensations and nervous system responses
- The patterns that show up in your relationships
We also gently explore how your past may still be shaping your present.
Over time, you may notice:
- A growing sense of self-understanding
- More compassion toward yourself
- A clearer awareness of your needs and boundaries
- A shift in how you relate to others
- A greater ability to regulate emotions and stress
I work at your pace, always mindful of your emotional capacity. You will never be pushed into anything before you're ready.
A Relational and Trauma Informed Approach
Many of our struggles begin in relationships, and they can be healed in relationships, too. I pay close attention to the subtle ways your early experiences may still be influencing how you feel, how you cope, and how you connect with others.
I draw from relational, humanistic, and trauma informed approaches, choosing what feels most supportive for you.
About Me
I'm Samantha Goose, a humanistic and integrative counsellor and psychotherapist, trained at The Sherwood Psychotherapy Training Institute and completing my qualification in 2025.
I am a BACP registered humanistic and integrative therapist.
I have worked extensively with addiction, which stems from developmental trauma.
I bring over 25 years of experience in mental health. My work began as a support worker with the homeless community, before training as a mental health nurse and spending 15 years in clinical settings supporting people through a wide range of emotional and psychological challenges.
Across all of this, I've been committed to helping people rediscover hope and reconnect with their own potential. My practice is grounded in compassion, curiosity, and the belief that healing happens through human connection.
Outside the therapy room, I relax by spending time in nature, practising yoga, and swimming — places where I can slow down and reconnect with myself.
Looking forward to meeting you.

Working Together
First Contact
There is no obligation after the 15 minute consultation; it is important that you choose a therapist who feels right for you.
If you're curious about working together, you're welcome to get in touch for an initial conversation. This is a chance for you to share a little about what's bringing you to therapy, ask any questions, and get a sense of whether I'm the right fit for you.
There is no obligation to continue, choosing a therapist is an important and personal decision.
Ongoing Sessions
If we decide to work together, we'll agree on a regular time and day for your sessions. We'll move at your pace, checking in regularly about how therapy feels and what you're needing.
My Commitment To You
I will meet you with empathy, honesty, and respect. I will hold your story with care. I will support you in finding your voice, your strength, and your sense of self. And I will walk alongside you as you explore, heal, and grow.
You deserve a space where you can be fully yourself. I would be honoured to offer you that space.
