Sam Sweetland

Currently offering online or face to face sessions Monday to Friday  with some flexibility during evenings and early mornings.

I'm currently a Gestalt trained counsellor,  what this means is that I believe that all people have a need for human connection, growth, healing and self-knowledge. 

Gestalt celebrates peoples uniqueness I felt this was really important to me.  It taught me to be more myself and in turn I hope to be able to help you do the same.

Gestalt teaches us to be open minded and curious about ourselves and the patterns we adopt to get through life, how there's no right or wrong way to go about our lives, yet some patterns may become blocked or no longer useful.  Sometimes we just get stuck and so through curiosity and exploration we can come to understand ourselves more and find new ways to do things.

Together you and I will build a relationship where we can experiment with what you may need in a non judgemental way to help explore yourself and potentially build new techniques to become more flexible within yourself.

As a Gestalt Counsellor I use a variety of methods to facilitate self-expression.  We can work creatively encouraging clients to bring all forms of expression into therapy sessions, including dreams, art, music, writing, poetry, movement and dance. Central to this process is the therapeutic relationship.

Sessions last 50 minutes and are at the same day and time each week. They currently take place online or face to face in Chesham

It's often difficult to know where to start finding a therapist. 

After you contact me we will find a time to arrange an initial session which will be either face to face or online.

 This initial  fifty minute first session will be at a lower cost as we work out if I'm the right therapist for you and what it is you need from the therapy.   I will then leave it up to you to contact me again to confirm if you want to go forward with more sessions.
