Samson Tshuma,

BA,

Psychology Intern I

Hi, I’m Sam, a student intern in my final year of my Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology degree (MACP) at Yorkville University. I provide counselling to individuals and couples craving a new level of fulfillment. I am supporting clients under the supervision of Kingsley Moyo offering counselling to individuals and couples.

Relationships can sometimes be messy. Whether you are longing for a deeper emotional or physical connection in your relationship, struggling to find common ground with your partner, feeling overwhelmed or stuck in your current situation. I want you to know that it’s okay.

I believe that everyone’s story is unique, shaped by different aspects and life experiences. I’m here to listen and understand how all these pieces come together to impact your well-being. My goal is to support you as the whole person you are, with all your complexities, and to create an inclusive, culturally sensitive and non-judgmental environment.

In my sessions with you, I want you to feel heard, safe and confident to work through your emotions. Together we will explore and set meaningful goals to uncover your strengths as you develop the right tools to navigate your current challenges.
