Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.
If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Sam directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.
Online session options
Approach and access through online therapy
Sam uses Narrative Therapy to help people reframe difficult life stories and see recurring patterns in new ways. This approach can be helpful for issues like identity, relationship patterns and understanding how past events shape current feelings. Attachment-Based Therapy is another part of her work and focuses on how early relationship patterns affect present-day trust and closeness, which can be useful for managing anxiety, abandonment worries and communication problems.Finding the right approach is a joint process. Sam works with each person to decide which methods suit their needs and goals, and adapts her way of working as those needs change. She aims to make decisions about approach clear and collaborative so clients feel involved in the plan for their therapy.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video is useful for fuller conversations and reading non-verbal cues, while phone calls can work when bandwidth is limited. Messaging and live chat suit shorter check-ins or when someone prefers writing. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, family or other commitments, and to continue therapy even when travel would be difficult.
