"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.
IMPORTANT UPDATE:
I am retiring as a Psychotherapist on October 13th 2026 and will not be taking any paying clients after that date.
In order to carefully manage the transition for my existing clients I have removed the general booking page.
If you have had a Bibliotherapy Session with me in the past and would like to connect again before I retire, please email me and I will do my best to make sure there is space for a session with you before I stop.
Many thanks!
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"
