Sam Ball

My working hours are 5pm-7pm Monday - Thursday and Fridays 9am- 7pm. I am also available weekends 9am-5pm. 

My name is Sam Ball and I am a qualified therapist with over ten years of experience with groups and in an individual capacity people who have been in custody, veterans, people struggling with substance misuse, people who have been through bereavement, people with neurodiversity,  people with eating disorders and people with mental health conditions such as anxiety, depression and PTSD.

I approach my work with kindness and compassion, offering the space with the client to be held with respect and listened to without judgement. I am passionate about seeking to understand and supporting people struggling with difficult thought patterns, feelings, confidence, self-esteem and relational problems.

I value how everyone is unique and I tailor my work to meet individual needs and hope to achieve the outcomes you want through therapy. I will work with you to help you gain a deeper awareness of yourself in order to make the changes you want in terms of your relationship with yourself, others or the world around you.

I offer online therapy, accessible globally from the comfort of your own surroundings. I also offer therapy in a face to face capacity from my own home in Preston. I work creatively offering practical exercises to help anchor and understand concepts that may be useful. Outdoor therapy is also an option for those who are in need of nature, connection and movement.
