Ms Sam Jahara

Psychotherapist

Short- and Long-term Psychotherapy to individuals and couples in Brighton and Lewes

About Me

I help individuals and couples navigate life's challenges, offering both short- and long-term psychotherapy. If you seek immediate clarity or wish to explore long-standing patterns, I provide a supportive, confidential space. We can explore feelings, develop new perspectives, and build resilience together. My aim is to help you find authentic, sustainable ways forward. This work fosters meaningful change for your relationships and personal well-being.

Approach

Working with clients in Brighton and Lewes, I shape sessions to balance immediate clarity with longer-term exploration, moving at a pace you feel safe with. We sit with feelings, track patterns from past hurt or cross-cultural strain, and use focused reflections between meetings to try out different ways of relating. Sessions are collaborative and steady—sometimes brief and targeted, sometimes more open-ended—so you can build resilience while staying connected to everyday life. People facing loss, trauma, relationship shifts or cultural transitions often find this rhythm helpful.
