Hello and Welcome.....

 

I'm Samantha, and I'm an experienced and highly qualified Psychotherapist based in Ilkley, Bradford near Leeds. I've been helping adults for 25 years in the Voluntary Sector, NHS (Staff Counsellor and Adult Mental Health Therapist) and in Private Practice for the last 20 years.

A bit about Me

​

In my 20s, I recognised I was struggling with depression and anxiety and my personal journey of learning why, as well as desperately trying to change it, began. I engaged  in Psychotherapy, because taking medication wasn't the answer for me, and this is where my life began to change, including my career. Throughout all this time, I have learnt depression and anxiety for example, are symptoms, signs that there is a much deeper root cause to be given attention to, as well as the day to day - this is why I work as I do. 

​

20 years ago, when I decided to work privately to fit around my children, advertising wasn't online like it is now, it was mainly the Yellow Pages! I wanted to be found first when customers were starting to search from A-Z so came up with Arnica as it's a flower that heals, and thought it fit as a Business name.
