Discover the Power of Support at the Samson Centre

At the Samson Centre, we understand that living with multiple sclerosis brings unique challenges – not just for those diagnosed, but also for their families, carers, and loved ones. That’s why we’re proud to offer a professional, compassionate counselling service designed specifically for our community.

Whether you’re managing the daily realities of MS, supporting someone who is, or attending the Centre for oxygen therapy, you don’t have to navigate it all alone.

Our counselling service offers a safe, confidential space where you can talk openly, explore your feelings, and find new ways to cope, adapt, and thrive.

Counselling can help you:

  • Manage feelings of anxiety, sadness, anger or uncertainty
  • Strengthen your emotional resilience
  • Navigate relationship challenges and improve communication
  • Build confidence and new ways of coping
  • Process difficult emotions around change, loss and identity
  • Find clarity, hope and renewed motivation for the future

Our BACP qualified counsellor is here to listen to your experience and the emotional impact it can have. Whether you’re facing a specific issue or just need someone to listen without judgement, we are here to support you. We offer up to 6 free, confidential  counselling sessions, with a friendly approach and tailored to your individual needs.

You are an important part of the Samson Centre family. Let us walk alongside you with empathy, understanding and support.

Reach out today and find out how counselling can make a positive difference in your journey.

What support does the Samson Centre offer to those struggling to cope with a new diagnosis of MS / changes in their MS?

We offer a friendly and informal level of support to all those living with MS.  A relaxed place to have a cup of coffee and talk to others who understand what it’s like living with MS. Our staff can advise on lifestyle factors which can contribute to general good health such as diet, stress management and keeping active.  We follow the latest research on optimising brain health and understand the importance that a healthy lifestyle can have on the symptoms and progression of MS.

Carers and family members have an opportunity to meet others in a similar situation as themselves and have a rest, a riverside walk or just a cup of tea.  (We aim to restart our carers class soon).

We also run Zoom relaxation sessions and two stretch classes with a focus on breathing and mindfulness.

Where else can I go for support such as counselling?

We have close contacts with local services, such as Dorking Talking Therapies (web address below), who have supported some of our members over the years. Other MS specific services, such as MS UK run a counselling service that our members can refer themselves to.
