Hear what people had to say about their experience
"This is the guy you need to see when life gets challenging"
"The therapy sessions were exceptional. I have spoken to many therapists in the past, but Sam was able to help me with his skilful techniques. He helped to reactivate all the tools I had within myself to overcome my challenges and help me on the path to recovery. His methods are truly exemplary, and they were perfectly tailored to my needs.
While seeing him, he felt like more than just a therapist. At this point, all I can say is well done and many thanks.
This is the guy you need to see when life becomes challenging.
Thank you so much, Sam.”
"I was quite nervous about it, but working with Samuel was very comfortable"
"When I first started the therapy, I was quite nervous about it but working with Samuel was very comfortable, he soon put me at ease. He explained everything in a very clear and understandable way by giving different examples relating to me and my situation. He helped me to describe how I was feeling and to be able to verbalise it. He was patient, he personalised the therapy so that it was tailored to me and was involved in the practical examples. He has pushed me to face the problems I had, giving me the confidence to complete tasks that I didn't think I was capable of doing. He is the best therapist that I have ever had and has taught me methods to use for my anxiety and OCD, ensuring that I have every chance of coping with my anxiety in the future. "
"From day one he created a trusting, safe space where I felt valued and heard"
“I have just completed 12 sessions on HI CBT therapy with therapist Samuel Blake. From day one he created a trusting, safe space where I felt valued and heard. I felt each session helped me become better equipped to face the week ahead. He helped me understand my emotions, thought processes and ultimately helped me overcome negative ways of thinking, which in turn has lead to a more positive mindset and brighter future. I felt Samuel was very knowledgeable and understanding. He quickly adapted my sessions as the weeks went on when different difficult situations arose. I’d like to thank Samuel for all the positive work we have done and all the progress that has been made. I wish Samuel all the best in the future - keep up all the great work.”
"It’s been like talking to a friend"
“I would like to say that therapy has been a big help for me , my therapist Samuel Blake has really been a huge help to me by helping me to learn how to cope with my anxiety and OCD, he’s been really nice and always helps me on the problems I needed help with each week I could not of asked for better, it’s been like talking to a friend thoughout the sessions he’s made me feel really comfortable and would like to say big thank you to him , I will now try to continue the work that I have learned.”
"You have given me so many amazing tools and provided me a safe place to understand myself, grow as a person and get better"
"Thank you so much for all your support. You have given me so many amazing tools and provided me a safe place to understand myself, grow as a person and get better.
You have been an amazing positive influence on my life and I cannot thank you enough. Without you I would not have been able to finish my first year of uni, handle sharp objects, have fun when playing games I like, not check the door, and so many more things.
You have helped me tackle every hurdle this tricky period of my life has thrown at me and have helped me reframe my mindset.
I wish you all the best in your future endeavours and will miss you lots."
"My experience with CBT has been fantastic [...] I would highly reccomend Sam to others"
“My experience with the CBT has been fantastic and it has made a big difference to the difficulties I was experiencing following the early birth of my son. The CBT sessions helped me understand my thoughts and feelings and gave me the practical tools to manage them better.
Sam was extremely supportive, patient and compassionate throughout the process. He was very knowledgeable and professional, while also creating a safe and comfortable space where I felt able to talk openly about some very difficult experiences. He guided me through the therapy at a pace that felt right for me, and I always felt listened to, understood and supported.
The therapy has made a real difference to my daily life. I feel more able to manage my thoughts and emotions, and I no longer feel defined by the trauma of my son's early arrival. I feel more confident, positive and able to enjoy family life without being overwhelmed by the anxiety and distress I was experiencing before.
I am incredibly grateful for the support I received from Sam and for the positive impact the therapy has had on my wellbeing. The skills I have learned will continue to help me long after the therapy has ended, and I would highly recommend the Sam to others.”
The way he explains things makes it so much easier to understand - I often would catch myself thinking “why didn’t I ever think this before?"
“Samuel was friendly and comforting from the very beginning, allowing me to feel at ease straight away.
He is so knowledgeable! The way he explains things makes it so much easier to understand - I often would catch myself thinking “why didn’t I ever think this before?” because it makes so much sense once he has explained it.
He has helped me massively - after reading my goals that I set at the start, to how I feel now, is a huge leap and I wouldn’t be anywhere near that without Samuel’s help.
I will continue to use all of the strategies he provided, to further improve myself and I cannot thank him enough for all of his help!”
"Samuel helped her overcome all these challenges and gave her lessons she will carry with her for the rest of her life"
“I want to thank Samuel from the bottom of mine and my daughter's heart for all the support, care, guidance, encouragement and all the assistance he provided both my daughter and as a result the rest of our family. From the very beginning of our journey with him right to the end. Without Samuel's help, my daughter would not be able to study at university and her everyday life due to her struggles with anxiety and OCD. Samuel helped her overcome all these challenges and gave her lessons she will carry with her for the rest of her life. We will miss him very much and he has a very special place in my daughter's and my family's hearts forever.”
"My children are happier. My husband is happier. Most importantly, I'm happier."
"When I first decided to try CBT talking therapy, I honestly didn’t think there was anything wrong with me. I thought everything was fine and that everyone thought and behaved the way I did. My husband suggested that I might benefit from some help, so I thought, “Why not give it a go?” But deep down, I never really believed it would work. I couldn’t understand how simply talking to someone could help me change the way I think or help me see that some of my behaviours weren’t helping me.
I genuinely thought it would be a waste of time, but for the sake of my family, my husband, and myself, I decided it was worth trying. After all, what harm could it do?
When I finally got my appointment, I was assigned Samual Blake. I was nervous at first because I didn’t know him, and he didn’t know me. The idea of opening up to a complete stranger felt daunting. I was relieved that the sessions were online rather than face-to-face, as that felt a little less overwhelming.
From the very first session, Sam made me feel comfortable. He was calm, relaxed, kind, and incredibly easy to talk to. He helped me see things from a different perspective and understand how some of my behaviours were affecting not only me but also my family.
Throughout our sessions, he helped me retrain my thinking and realise that not everything has to be done immediately, perfectly, or in a certain way. He taught me that some things can wait and that the world doesn’t fall apart if I leave them for later.
Talking therapy turned out to be a completely different experience from what I expected. I went into it believing there was no point, but after these weeks of working with Sam, I can honestly say I’ve never felt so relaxed in my life.
My children are happier. My husband is happier. Most importantly, I’m happier.
We’re spending more quality time together as a family. I’m no longer constantly worrying about getting home to clean or tidy. Instead, I can enjoy being present with the people I love, knowing that the cleaning will still be there when I get back.
Before therapy, I never would have allowed myself to do that.
Thanks to Sam, I’ve realised that there’s so much more to life than cleaning and constantly worrying about keeping everything perfect. He listened without judgement, gave thoughtful advice, set helpful homework, and supported me every step of the way.
I truly cannot thank him enough.
For the first time in a very long time, I feel relaxed, content, and able to enjoy my life. As we head into the summer holidays, I feel excited about spending time with my children and appreciating the wonderful family I have.
I’ve realised that my husband and children don’t care if the floor hasn’t been mopped, if the house is a little messy, or if the lounge isn’t perfectly tidy. What they care about is me. They want me to be happy. They want us all to be happy. Most of all, they simply want to spend time together as a family.
That realisation has changed my life.
So, thank you, Sam. Thank you for your time, your patience, your support, and for helping me see life differently. You have made a huge difference to me and my family, and I will always be grateful for everything you’ve done."
