Discover a Safe Haven for Healing With Me
About Me
INTEGRATIVE THERAPIST | COUNSELLOR
Alessandra Samson
I am currently based in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire.
My approach to my counselling services integrates the modalities of person-centred therapy and low-intensity cognitive behavioural therapy. You can expect a safe, compassionate, and supportive space where you can freely explore your current struggles, including the thoughts, feelings, and emotions that have impacted your mental health. Having the opportunity to offload, be truly heard, and listened to in a non-judgmental environment can be transformative. My goal is to support you in improving your well-being in a way that respects your needs and keeps you at the heart of your therapeutic journey. I strive to create a space where you feel safe to come as you are, emotionally supported, and without fear of judgment.
Together, we can work on identifying and challenging negative thought patterns and behaviours while developing practical strategies to manage distress and promote positive change. I specialise in working with individuals who feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck, even when they can't quite pinpoint why. If it feels difficult to connect the dots, we’ll explore what’s beneath the surface and uncover the deeper pain you’ve been carrying in a safe and accepting space.
Through this process, I aim to help you develop a deeper understanding of yourself, trust your emotions, and embrace your humanity. Many of my clients leave therapy feeling more self-aware, emotionally balanced, and equipped to navigate life’s challenges with greater clarity and resilience.
Qualifications
I have completed my Level 4 Counselling Qualification, alongside undertaking additional training in low-intensity cognitive-behavioural therapy. I’ve also attained a Bachelors Honours Degree in Psychology with Counselling and Psychotherapy, and I am currently pursuing a Masters in Psychological Wellbeing in Clinical Practice.
Personal Interests
When I’m not immersed in my work you can usually find me reading psychological thriller and crime mystery books as well as being engaged in crime tv dramas and documentaries. I also love being cuddled up with my Nintendo switch to play my cosy games & playing the Sims 4 to creatively play with life
