Sam Torgersen

BA Hons, Dip. Counselling, MBACP Accredited.

I am passionate about the benefits that counselling can have for people. Through my work I have experienced how therapy can improve mental health and well being. As a qualified accredited member of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP ) my work is underpinned by their Ethical Framework which provides a robust framework for my counselling practice. I attend regular Clinical Supervision to safeguard my practice as well as professional development days to enhance my skills and maintain my professional standards.

Alongside my private practice, I work at a leading independent school in Oxford offering counselling to both students and staff. I have 20 years experience of working in the NHS being employed as a Senior Mental Health Practitioner in CAMHS and a qualified Paediatric Nurse.. I have significant experience in supporting children, young people and families therapeutically.

I have worked at Oxford Brookes Counselling Service and at the Parenting Project; a Warwickshire based counselling service for adults.

I have undertaken many courses which compliment my Counselling training including Working Therapeutically with Autistic Clients, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), and Brief (Solution-Focused therapy). I have undertaken a Certificate in Counselling Young People.
