Samantha Ashdown MNCS ACCRED

Hello I'm Sam

I specialise in anxiety related issues with clients, I work in a very solution focussed way. You'll learn new skills to be able to cope and find confidence in your own abilities.

As well as being a Therapist, I was a Sedation Nurse for 10 years helping many anxious and frightened patients get through their treatments. I am very accustomed to seeing a variety of extreme emotions and behaviour in people. I have a strong sense of empathy and apply this to see your situation through your eyes.

People often feel relief when someone understands their problem on a deeper level. I will be warm, calming and respectful towards you no matter what you say, and hopefully you will trust me enough to tell me your story. I like to help people to become experts on themselves, and hopefully you will gain some skills to heal yourself in the future.

My experience within nursing: working with children, caring for seniors, phobias, anxiety & depression, various mental disorders and disabilities, Cancer sufferers.
