Dr Samuel Christmas
Specialist Counselling Psychologist
Living with persistent dizziness or tinnitus is exhausting. You may have seen multiple specialists, tried various treatments, and still struggle daily with symptoms that others can't see or understand.
I'm a counselling psychologist specialising in evidence-based CBT+ therapies for managing anxiety and distress that arises from vestibular disorders and tinnitus. Working with leading specialists in London, I help people across the UK using online therapy to reduce distress, break unhelpful thinking patterns, and regain confidence in their bodies.
“Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it” - Helen Keller
PPPD
PPPD symptoms are characterised by persistent, non-spinning dizziness or rocking sensations lasting for months
Conditions I can support you with
Meniere’s
A chronic condition associated with inner ear fluid buildup (endolymphatic hydrops), causing recurring, long-lasting vertigo, fluctuating hearing loss, tinnitus, and aural fullness.
Vestibular Migraine
Vertigo that occurs as a symptom of migraine, which may or may not be accompanied by a headache
BPPV
The most common cause of vertigo, triggered by specific, brief, and intense changes in head position.
Tinnitus
Tinnitus is the perception of sounds like ringing, buzzing, or hissing in your ears or head, usually when no external sound source exists
Vestibular Neuritis
Inflammation of the inner ear (labyrinthitis) or the nerve connecting to it (vestibular neuritis), typically caused by a virus, leading to sudden, severe, and long-lasting vertigo.
“Living with PPPD felt like being trapped in my own body. The constant dizziness and anxiety about when it would get worse was exhausting. Therapy with Sam taught me how to break my fear cycle and manage my symptoms instead of letting them control me. I'm not 100% yet, but I'm finally living my life again.”

“The vertigo episodes were terrifying, but what really wore me down was the tinnitus and the constant worry about both. I didn't realize how much the stress was amplifying everything until I started therapy. Learning to work with my nervous system instead of against it has been huge. I still have tough days, but I have tools now, and that changes everything.”
— Anon“I spent months going from doctor to doctor trying to fix my PPPD, and while the medical support was important, the therapy was what actually helped me move forward. Understanding the mind-body connection with dizziness and learning how to reduce my hypervigilance has given me my confidence back. I can drive again, I can go to the shops—things I thought I'd lost forever.”
