Samuele Porche

I’m a qualified Integrative Psychotherapist and Counsellor, drawing on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), humanistic and psychodynamic approaches to support you with a range of challenges such as depression, anxiety, hoarding, relationship problems, existential dilemmas, sexual identity, phobias and long-term health conditions. I've worked in the NHS, charity and private sectors for five years delivering CBT and acceptance and commitment therapy for people wanting a more solution-focused approach. My recent PG Dip in Integrative Psychotherapy and Counselling focuses on relationship problems and existential dilemmas.

I use CBT for short-term, problem specific issues such as phobias. We will collaboratively identify and work through any vicious cycles that maintain anxiety, such as through setting up behavioural experiments to test your predictions. For more long-term, relational challenges, we will explore how you have navigated these issues so far, and what you feel needs to change.
