Working With Me
I offer a supportive trusting counselling service where your voice can be heard.
How I Can Help
You may be struggling with issues from your past that are impacting you in the here and now, you may be experiencing difficulties in the present and want to make sense of this, you may be consumed with negative thoughts, anxious thoughts, difficulties in relationships and may feel overwhelmed and exhausted.
Working Together
I will work collaboratively with you, softly guiding you towards self-awareness. Together we will unearth patterns, core beliefs, learnt behaviours and past experiences so that you can understand your inner world. During this process you may feel listened too, gain a sense of understanding, be empowered to make the positive changes that you want for yourself and reach a point of acceptance and contentment in your decisions.
My Approach
My approach is based on empathy, compassion, understanding, and empowerment, where you are placed at the centre of the therapy. You can expect a warm, safe, compassionate, non-judgemental space to explore your thoughts and feelings.
About Me
SB Counselling & Wellbeing Services operates as a counselling service founded by myself Shakerra Samuels-Bakie. I am a qualified and registered Humanistic Integrative Counsellor with the BACP.
I provide online sessions, as well as face to face sessions. As well as working in private practice I work as a counsellor for The Awareness Centre and Headstrong.
I have an advanced diploma in Humanistic Integrative counselling, BSc degree in Psychology and MSc in Health Psychology.
I therefore combine an integrative approach to counselling which means that I draw upon a rich and diverse range of theories, combining various therapeutic techniques to gain a true sense of who you are and what suits your individual needs.
My Experience
I have a wide range of experience working with a diverse range of clients groups and presenting issues from my work within various mental health organisations, Children's social services, NHS and the Finance sector.
