Samantha Rice MBACP
Person-Centred Counselling
I have found through personal experience, that with the support of the safe, non-judgemental environment that counselling can provide, we have the ability to connect with our true selves, to understand our feelings better and to find growth from the strength that this brings.

About Me
I am a qualified person-centred counsellor. This means that I will work alongside you in whatever it is that you are struggling with. I will not tell you what to do, as I believe that we are the greatest experts on ourselves.
I will be guided by you and will work at your pace. We may not always know how to express or name our feelings or what we are experiencing. But given the space to explore this, in a safe and non-judgemental environment, we can gain clarity, strength and a deeper understanding of ourselves, in whatever we are facing.
Having experience of working with many bereaved clients, as well as those with a chronic or terminal illness and their families, I have a good understanding of the complexities of emotions that can be associated with grief and loss. Particularly the difficulties when experiencing feelings that cannot be expressed to those around us.
Also working as a volunteer with a large mental health charity, I support clients with a wide range of difficulties, ranging from low mood, self-esteem, anxiety and depression as well as challenging relationships and family difficulties.
