REMOTE ACROSS NORFOLK

Samuel Tawn

PgDip in Counselling, Norwich Centre
Years in practice: 3
Offers:  Remote Therapy

I work in a Person-Centred approach, which means offering and holding a space of understanding, acceptance and authenticity, that is ultimately led by you. It’s an approach that I feel attuned to due to its philosophy, its attempts to address power and how it can facilitate people in their process and journey of change, whatever that may be. I am interested in concepts of masculinity and the complex feelings of mixed heritage being born into a family with a background of different nationalities.

PhD, University of Nottingham & MSc Existential Psychotherapy, Middlesex University
Years in practice: 1
Offers:  Remote Therapy

Do you feel like you’re performing your life instead of living it? Maybe everything looks fine on the outside, but inside you feel anxious or uncertain – without knowing exactly what you want to change, or why. You’re not alone in feeling this way.

I help men explore the deeper questions behind their identity, relationships or life struggles – not just what’s happening, but what it means to them – so they can reconnect with themselves, make clearer choices and move from acting in life to authoring their future. My approach is warm and respectful, so you can be honest without fear of judgment. You’re welcome to book a free intro call – no pressure, just a chat.

I work with men who have suffered complex trauma and abuse and can help with the consequences of those experiences. I can help those with addictions and/or destructive relationships and/or behaviour. I have significant experience of working with men in conflict with their gender or sexuality.

Counselling, psychotherapy and coaching in Soho, London and online.

Therapy for stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and sexuality issues, substance use, health conditions and HIV.

Many of us experience low mood, stress or anxiety in our lives and the talking therapy that I offer provides a safe space to really help. Sometimes clients just can’t put a finger on what is troubling them or causing them to feel blocked – early stages of our work together would sensitively explore this and help to establish goals so that you can, over time, appreciate your progress.

I have specific Cognitive Behavioural Therapy training to help you if you are experiencing sleep problems, panic, phobias, and some forms of trauma and OCD.

Men sometimes carry their problems around, being strong on the outside, like a suit of armour. They leave the talking to others, often women. Your friends might be doing the same, but if you’re the one to admit it, you fear losing your credibility as a real man. There may also be an inner voice telling you to man up and not show vulnerability, but this can be part of the problem.

I think counselling can help men become better friends, partners, fathers and lovers. Learning to talk about yourself without fear of judgement can help your state of mind and relationships. When I work with men, they often find it’s a relief to finally let it all out. They feel lighter and open up to change, rather than closing down or “manning up” just to fit in.

I offer both remote and in-person appointments and have experience working with English-speaking clients who live outside the UK in all parts of the world.

We do what we do in life because of how we feel. When we’re happy, we think happy thoughts and feel buoyant, and are resilient and flexible. When we feel bad inside, we may become angry and resentful, or collapse in on ourselves, or worry about everything. Changing how we feel is not an easy task, because it is a manifestation of so many fundamental inner processes: how we talk to ourselves in our head, how we process and make sense of what happens to us, and how we feel about ourselves. Change, thus, comes from within; from delving into who we fundamentally are, facing what’s inside, and learning to relate to ourselves in a new way, so that we actually enjoy being alive. I am here to help you with that journey.

Years in practice: 2
Offers:  Remote Therapy

Feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure why you react the way you do? I can help you understand your emotions, break old patterns, and feel more grounded, confident, and in control.

I’m a qualified Humanistic counsellor working in Tring, Leighton Buzzard, and online. I help adults untangle their emotions, understand their patterns, and move toward a life that feels more authentic, grounded, and fulfilling.

In practice, this might mean I reflect what you’ve told me so you can hear it in a new way, ask questions to clarify your thoughts, or offer a different perspective for you to consider. Sometimes we might work through compassion exercises, thought experiments, or mindfulness tools like breathing and grounding techniques. Whatever helps.
