"Books are the mirror of the soul" Virginia Woolf
Do you read?
Are you moved and affected by what you read and sometimes wish you could 'honestly and openly' talk to someone about how it has left you feeling?
I'm Sam, an experienced psychotherapist, and I offer opportunities for self-growth through the lens of your reading life.
Welcome to my bibliotherapy service.
Your response to a book is utterly personal. You are living and experiencing a unique combination of genes, environment and relationships.
Whatever is going on in your life will be mirrored in your responses to what you've been reading.
As a Person Centred Therapist I won't interrogate or direct you. I'll listen, and gently help you explore your thoughts and feelings at your own pace, enabling you to connect more authentically with yourself and understand yourself more deeply.
Whether you have had therapy in the past or are completely new to it, approaching your own emotions 'sideways' through the situations and characters you meet in books can offer a refreshing way to see yourself, and what you may be grappling with, more clearly.
Ready to discover your story? I'd love to meet you!
"Cathartic, eye opening and one of the best things I’ve done on my journey to get to know myself better"
