About Sam Cox
Sam Cox understands how overwhelming it can feel to become stuck and how daunting the first steps into therapy may be. He offers a collaborative approach that proceeds at a pace suited to each person, placing the relationship between counsellor and client at the centre of the work. Sessions are conducted as private conversations in which Sam and the client explore experiences, feelings, behaviours, and needs together to build clearer understanding and practical change.
He is an integrative psychotherapist with four years of professional practice. His integrative approach combines person-centred work - which focuses on the client-led exploration of experience and personal strengths - with psychodynamic ideas that explore past relationships and patterns to deepen insight. This mix allows him to help people make sense of current difficulties by tracing how earlier experiences influence present feelings and behaviour.
Sam trained in Psychotherapy at The Mary Ward Centre and at Kingston College, London. His work history includes roles within the NHS and the English prison service, as well as experience in student wellbeing centres, Shelter housing centres, the UK Criminal Justice system, family health centres, general practitioner settings, and addiction services. These varied placements have informed his ability to work with a broad range of difficulties and life circumstances.
He offers work adapted for online delivery in recognition of the demands of modern life and the need for flexible access to support. Online sessions are available in formats that fit different schedules and preferences, helping to reduce travel time and make it easier to maintain therapy alongside everyday commitments. Sam has shaped his practice to suit clients who need help in ways that fit their routines.
Sam specialises in areas such as stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and depression. He also works with related concerns including abandonment, adoption and foster care issues, aging and geriatric matters, attachment difficulties, body image, chronic illness and pain, codependency, and commitment issues among others. In an initial session he will ask about presenting concerns and personal history, and discuss relationships, interests, strengths, and goals to build a shared plan for moving forward.
