welcome
I'm Sam De Gruchy, a BACP-registered Integrative, Relational Therapist practising in Brighton and online
If you’re carrying something heavy, feeling overwhelmed or stuck, or wondering what your life is really for - I’m here right alongside you. Therapy is a sacred space where you are fully welcome to arrive just as you are, in a relationship in which you can be genuinely seen and heard. My commitment to you is to support you growing your capacity to navigate a life that is meaningful to you, nurturing an authentic and self-compassionate understanding of yourself.
Together we make room for what’s happening now, and tend to the deeper patterns underneath - paying care and attention to both.

You’ll find details of me and my practice throughout the site. Here are some of the key details…
I’m an Integrative, relational therapist. It’s human, grounded and rooted in genuine connection (see Way of Working)
I work with individuals experiencing anxiety or depression, lack of direction meaning or purpose, relationship difficulties and those still impacted negatively by past experiences (see Who I work with). All are welcome without prejudice, regardless of lived experience.
Sessions cost £75, either in-person (central Brighton) or online (see Sessions). I offer a free 20 minute introduction call (see Contact).
My professional work is intertwined with my personal purpose and my core values. This work is deeply meaningful to me (see About Me).
