Sam Cracknell

I am available for sessions, both in-person and online, on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

About me and my practice

Hi, I'm Sam and I am a qualified, 麻豆原创 registered Psychodynamic counsellor, offering in-person counselling in Farnham, Surrey and online therapy throughout the UK.  I鈥檝e had the privilege of supporting clients with an extensive range of varied and complex needs, both in my private practice and in a local charitable counselling service. I offer a warm, confidential space to explore the patterns and emotions shaping your life - helping you heal, grow, and live more fully.

My approach

I work in a way that looks at both what's happening for you now and how past experiences may still impact you, grounded in the belief that lasting change begins with self-awareness. Together, we will work to bring unconscious thoughts and feelings into the light, helping you to develop insight, heal old wounds, and create more fulfilling ways of living and relating to others. Helping you not only cope with challenges, but to create meaningful, lasting change - fostering self-understanding, emotional resilience, and healthier relationships. 

Whether you are facing anxiety, depression, the effects of trauma, relationship difficulties, grief & loss, or a general sense of being 鈥渟tuck,鈥� you don鈥檛 have to face this journey alone.

How working with me might help you

Psychodynamic counselling works by helping you understand underlying causes of anxiety and depression often linked to past experiences, relationships, or long-standing patterns of thought and behaviour. 

We might explore:

鈥� How early experiences influence your current feelings and reactions.

鈥� Unconscious fears or beliefs that fuel anxiety.

鈥� The connection between relationships and emotional triggers.

鈥� The lasting impact of trauma, in all its forms.

What to expect when you contact me

I understand how difficult it can be to reach out for help, that鈥檚 why I offer a free initial telephone consultation so we can start to get to know each other and you can decide if we would work well together. If this feels like something that might be helpful for you, please email me and we can start this process together.

Meeting face-to-face - can provide a sense of presence and grounding that some people find especially valuable. My central Farnham location offers a calm, private environment where you can speak openly without interruption. 

Meeting online - We鈥檒l meet via a secure, encrypted video platform, ensuring your privacy and confidentiality at all times. You鈥檒l just need a quiet, private space and a stable internet connection. In our sessions, we鈥檒l work in the same way as we would face-to-face 鈥� exploring your thoughts, feelings, and experiences in depth, helping you gain insight into patterns and create meaningful change.

Fees - My session fee is 拢60 per session and each session lasts for 50 minutes. Sessions missed or cancelled less than 48 hours in advance are charged at the full rate.
