Samantha Fox

Counseling Psychologist

Verified

“Counselling Psychologist in private practice. BWRT level 2 accredited. Focusing on how your self-worth, self-image impacts your daily life, how you function day to day and how fulfilled you feel.”

About Me

I help you explore how self-worth and self-image shape your daily life and sense of fulfilment. When these feel low, it impacts everything. We can work together to understand these patterns. Using focused techniques, including BWRT, we quickly address deep-seated issues. My aim is to help you build a stronger sense of self. This leads to more fulfilling days and a greater capacity to thrive.

Approach

When your self-value and self-view feel shaky, I focus sessions on practical shifts in how you show up and respond, aiming for clear, achievable change. I work with people in Gqeberha and via secure online sessions in English, keeping the pace focused, calm and collaborative for adolescents and adults. Sessions blend brief, targeted interventions with reflective exploration; between meetings you may try small experiments to test new ways of relating and coping. This way of working tends to suit those who want steady, practical progress.
