Samia Nelson Psychotherapy
Space to be
Welcome
We all have times in life when we need support. Sometimes we can find it difficult to make sense of our experiences, finding it difficult to trust others or even our own instinct. You may wish to develop a better understanding of yourself or the dynamics of the relationships with those around you.
I offer culturally sensitive therapy to individuals, couples and groups.
My intention is to cultivate an authentic, respectful relationship with you. Whatever you may be struggling with, together we can understand your difficulties and create a space for reflection and clarity, paving a path to change and growth.
I am a Relational Transactional Analyst Psychotherapist. As an integrative therapist, I draw on various modalities, believing each client deserves their own individualised therapy.
My work is grounded in a philosophy of inclusiveness and embraces all cultures and identities. I have a deep regard for ordinary human suffering and welcome all experiences you may bring into the therapy room.
I have worked with a wide range of psychological and emotional issues and one of my particular interests lies in the dynamics of power within relationships. I apply a social justice approach to my work and am interested in the impact of social, historical, political and cultural influences on the self.
I work with people who are neurodivergent and queer in their identity. I periodically facilitate psycho-educational and therapeutic support groups for parents/carers of children with additional needs and for women.

Working together
My priority is to create a shared confidential space, where you can make sense of your experiences, enabling you to gain a deeper understanding of yourself.
I believe relationships are at the heart of being human and our difficulties can be understood through exploring how we connect to ourselves and others around us. Thus, exploring the ebb and flow of our unique relationship will be central to the therapeutic effectiveness of our work together.
Using my skills, knowledge, intuition, humour and empathic challenge, I will support you in navigating your internal world and help you understand how you relate to people and your environment. I genuinely believe if you are ready to receive the structure and support you need, you can make a change.
Individual Therapy
Sessions will take place at a mutually agreed time and day, each week, for 50 mins. At our initial consultation, we can explore your reasons for seeking therapy and experience what our time together will be like.
I work both short and long term open-ended. Depending on your expectations, we will work together for an agreed amount of time and review our work periodically.
Relationship Therapy
You may be stuck in unhelpful patterns of relating and could benefit from support in finding new ways to connect with each other. We will have an initial assessment, where we will agree on how best to work together and commit to a further six sessions. We can then review our work together and decide whether to continue for a longer period.
Supervision
I offer regular and ad hoc individual and monthly group supervision.
Groups
Please email me for information on current groups I am running or if you wish me to facilitate a therapy, support or process group for your organisation.
