Samantha Lloyd (my pronouns are She/Her)

Whatever brings you to seeking therapy, I understand that it can feel daunting and it is important that you find a therapist who feels like the right fit for you. Please do get in contact if you have any questions, or would like to arrange a free initial telephone call to discuss whether what I can offer feels right for you at this time. I strongly believe in the importance of a collaborative approach, which recognises the individual as an expert in their own life and experiences. 

My aim is to provide a compassionate space to work together to make sense of current difficulties and find helpful ways forward, which are in line with someone's values and what is important to them. I have experience of working with clients experiencing a range of emotional difficulties including anxiety, low mood, PTSD, stress and burnout, low self-esteem and shame. 

I have a special interest in clinical health psychology and in supporting individuals who are experiencing health related emotional difficulties, such as adjusting to living with a diagnosis or physical symptoms, anxiety, low mood or treatment related trauma. I am experienced in working with trauma, adjustment to major life events, loss and bereavement. I draw flexibly upon a range of evidence based approaches tailored to the individual and their needs
