Sam De Gruchy

I currently have availability for online sessions only for clients in London.

Sessions are 60 minutes in duration and held via Google Meet.

You might find troubling emotions, memories, experiences or patterns are leaving you feeling overwhelmed, stuck or perhaps lost. I support clients with releasing such blocks, leading to greater appreciation and compassionate understanding of themselves, with improved clarity and freedom in their lives.

Authenticity, Vulnerability and Intention

There is a saying ‘the truth will set you free’ and I fully believe this to be the case. The difficulty is that our own subjective truths can sometimes be obscure (even to ourselves) - or may have been shut down, blocked or masked in response to the words or actions of ourselves or others. Our experiences of vulnerability to date have often been challenging or hurtful, and lead us to further fear being our authentic selves.

I offer a nurturing space to undo this process, to explore your authenticity with courage, trust and compassion - and release difficult emotions or patterns that may currently be working overtime to protect you.

My underlying intention is to support you in aiming up, whilst at the same time being patient, caring and compassionate toward how things are for you right now. 

I am an Integrative therapist and I work relationally from a person-centred base

Integrative: one of the main benefits of Integrative therapy is flexibility and a dynamic approach, integrating several modalities. It is rooted in our collective humanness, and tailored to your personal experience. I support clients with a wide range of difficulties including anxiety, anger, depression, self-esteem, relationships, life direction, identity, existential and spiritual difficulties.

Relational: therapy takes place in relationship, and working relationally leans into this - because a real and genuine relationship creates the space for the real and genuine you to continue to emerge and be witnessed. The therapeutic alliance between therapist and client is the fertile ground in which you can grow in true self-confidence, as well as navigating boundaries and trust in relation to others.

Person-centred: trusting your individual process and respecting your autonomy. I believe each person has the right to self-determine their own process and life choices, and my practice is rooted in this humanistic principle. We recognise that though engaging with professional support, you remain the expert of your own experience. It means not only growing in confidence, but also clarity and a sense of direction increasingly available to you outside and beyond therapy.

I am here alongside you in your process, to support you in feeling more centred in your life with greater clarity, autonomy and self-compassion. 

Free 20 minute initial consultation

If you are interested in beginning work together, I invite you to a free 20 minute video consultation as an open opportunity to connect and introduce to one another.

First full session

We may then discuss options for arranging a weekly time for 60 minute sessions. The first of these will be gently structured around an assessment, which will involve some more directive questions from me as we land into the space, deep our understanding of difficulties you might be experiencing, and identify your intentions and goals for therapy.

Sessions thereafter

60 minute sessions are held weekly and typically open-ended on an ongoing basis (i.e. without defining a specific quantity of sessions).

Cancellation

Kindly note I operate a 48 hour cancellation policy.
