About Sam
Sam Cox is a counsellor who focuses on men’s wellbeing and on helping people who feel stuck by life’s pressures. He keeps sessions paced to each person and centres the relationship between counsellor and client. Sam aims to create a calm space where people can talk about what is worrying them and begin to make small, practical changes.
Sam has four years of experience working as a professional therapist. He practises as an integrative psychotherapist, drawing on person-centred and psychodynamic ways of working to help people understand feelings and patterns. This means Sam often looks at how past relationships and experiences shape current responses.
He trained in psychotherapy at The Mary Ward Centre and Kingston College, London. His work history includes roles in the NHS, the English prison service, student wellbeing centres, Shelter housing centres, the UK criminal justice system, family health centres, GP services, and addiction centres. Those environments inform his practical, down-to-earth approach.
In sessions people can expect questions about current concerns, history, relationships, and goals. Sam encourages talking about strengths as well as difficulties, so planning for change feels realistic. He adapts the pace and focus to what each person needs.
Sam offers support for a broad range of issues including stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and depression. He also works with related concerns such as attachment, body image, caregiving stress, chronic illness, bereavement, and commitment issues.

How therapeutic approaches fit with online work
Sam uses person-centred work which focuses on listening, empathy, and helping people identify their own goals; this approach helps when someone needs space to be heard and to build confidence. He also uses psychodynamic ideas that look at past relationships and patterns to make sense of current reactions, which can help with long-standing issues like attachment or repeated behaviours.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Sam will work collaboratively to decide what to try first and will check in about whether the way of working feels helpful. Together you can adjust the focus based on your needs, goals and preferences rather than committing to a single method from the start.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and lowering cost and time barriers. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed, or sessions that suit quieter surroundings or less screen time if that is helpful.
