EMILY SAMUEL, MA, LPC,

UKCP REGISTERED PSYCHOTHERAPIST

I am a child psychotherapist with a Masters level in Integrative Child Psychotherapy. I offer long and short term therapy to children and adolescents. I also offer parenting consultations. I have 12 years of experience of working in multi-disciplinary outpatient psychiatric clinics and in schools. I am experienced in liaising with student support in schools and advocating for children and young people’s needs to be met when necessary. I offer both in-person and online therapy at my office in central Bath.

I bring a compassionate and empathic perspective to each individual, whilst allowing space for challenge when this is needed. I am integrative in approach which means I take strands from various schools of therapy and tailor my approach to each individual client.
