about

Hello, I’m Sam Williams — an integrative counsellor offering in‑person therapy in Ashby‑de‑la‑Zouch and online across the UK. As a BACP‑registered counsellor, I work in line with professional ethical standards and hold full professional indemnity insurance.I qualified as an integrative counsellor in 2018, specialising in childhhood trauma, and since then I’ve worked extensively with in‑depth trauma, supporting adults through some of the most challenging and complex experiences. My background includes working within a prison setting and at a specialist sexual abuse agency, where I supported people living with the impact of childhood trauma, long‑term patterns of survival, and difficult past experiences. This work has given me a deep understanding of how trauma shapes us — and how healing becomes possible in a safe, steady therapeutic relationship. I now work in private practice with adults over 18, offering a calm, grounded space to explore whatever you’re carrying at your own pace.I currently work with adults who are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stuck, or unsure how to move forward. My approach is warm, grounded, and collaborative. I believe therapy should feel like a safe, steady space where you can explore what’s going on for you at your own pace.My Approach: As an integrative therapist, I draw from several therapeutic models — including person‑centred and psychodynamic informed approaches.
This means our work is tailored to you as an individual, rather than fitting you into a single method.Together, we explore your thoughts, feelings, patterns, and experiences with curiosity and compassion.
I won’t judge, analyse from a distance, or rush you. Instead, I’ll walk alongside you as you make sense of what you’re carrying and begin to create meaningful change.What I Can Help With: Anxiety & overwhelm, Trauma & difficult past experiences, Low self‑esteem, Stress & burnout, Relationship issues, Life transitions, Feeling stuck or lostMy Values: Warmth — You deserve a space where you feel safe and understood. Honesty — I offer gentle, real conversations. Collaboration — We work together, at your pace. Respect — Your story matters, and you lead the way
