Sam Hough

CounsDip MBACP SupCert

I am currently a Counselling and Befriending Service Manager for a large charity, also responsible for managing the Counselling Placement Service for students along with Clinical Supervision for both trainees and established counsellors. I have over 13 years of counselling experience and truly believe we can be who we want to be with the right tools.

After completing my Counselling Diploma in 2012 and having some time to give, I volunteered at Tree Tops Counselling Charity in Salford where I counselled client's of all ages, with varying issues. I also volunteered for 2 years at Swinton High School for 11-16 year olds, through TreeTops Counselling.

I qualified in early 2025 as a Clinical Supervisor and currently see therapists and professionals both in training and in other wellbeing roles, alongside qualified counsellors. My supervision follows the Seven Eyed Model alongside the IDM (Integrative Developmental Model). This allows me to nurture and collaborate in a truly motivational way with my supervisee's, regardless of the level they are currently at.

I am a registered member of the British Association of Counsellors & Psychotherapists and have an enhanced DBS check.
