About me and my therapy practice
'Books are the mirror of the soul.' Virginia Woolf
Welcome to my bibliotherapy service 'Fiction Prescription'.
Hi, I'm Sam, an experienced and Accredited Person-Centred Therapist. I specialise in helping adults of all ages know themselves more deeply through reflecting on and exploring their unique and personal responses to the books they read.
Life is often challenging. You may be experiencing particular difficulties, or be struggling more generally with being a human in what can feel like a mad world. You may be curious about what makes you you, or may be looking for a new way to gently understand yourself and nourish your mental and emotional well-being.
Online, from my home library I can connect with you wherever you feel most comfortable, and offer you a confidential, ethical and gentle opportunity to understand yourself better, to grow and to be heard.
"Cathartic, eye opening and one of the best things I’ve done on my journey to get to know myself better"
Practice description
As a Person-Centred Therapist I work flexibly to meet the needs of each individual client and offer a variety of 60 minute online sessions, all bookable through my website. These include:
* Single Session bibliotherapy, bookable one at a time to suit the clients needs/reading routine.
* Regular bibliotherapy sessions (for example, monthly).
* One-off exploration of a client's relationship with books, leading to the 'prescription' of a book that will resonate with insights from the session. This 'Fiction Prescription' session includes the opportunity for a free 30 minute follow-up to suit the client.
More details can be found on my website: www.fictionprescription.org
I also offer packages of sessions to employers who want to support wellbeing initiatives for their staff.
