Samantha Downes
Counselling & Support
What I Offer
I can provide support to adults with a range of issues including loss, change, stress reduction, anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, work or personal issues. I also have experience in providing post incident support to teams and individuals.
I work from my private office in Stoke-on Trent and can work with people both on a short and long term basis and with adults of different ages and from different backgrounds. Counselling sessions are strictly confidential and professional. Frequency of sessions will depend upon the needs that you present.
I aim to provide a safe and confidential environment where we can explore any issues you may wish to bring. Counselling sessions are time for you and are driven by what you want to work on in the session. I draw on a variety of different ways of working and will always tailor my way of working to best suit your needs.
I am also a qualified Supervisor and have 10 years experience working with counsellors in training as well as qualified counsellors. I completed my training at the Manchester Institute of Psychotherapy and primarily us the Hawkins & Shohet 7 Eyed Model of Supervision.
Please note that I offer only afternoon and evening appointments and do not offer morning appointments.
