Hi, I'm Samuel (He/They/She/Any) and I'm a non-binary/genderfluid Arts Psychotherapist.

I offer a gentle, non-judgemental and inclusive therapeutic space for you to reveal yourself as we explore struggles, hopes and what growth and resolution looks like for you at this time.

I provide psychological therapy for adults by telehealth and specialise in working with LGBTQ+ clients with an identity affirming perspective.

I work with many people who are trying to move beyond the impacts of trauma, who have struggled with intrusive memories, nightmares, and physical symptoms and the inability to feel safe or who feel that they don't have worth. I also help people with attachment issues, people experiencing difficulties in their relationships, people dealing with grief, loss and bereavement, or who are going through health or life role transitions such as chronic illness or a divorce.

Some things are hard to name — and even harder to carry alone. If you're living with the weight of trauma, navigating life across cultures, or working through challenges that feel too layered for a short-term fix, you've found the right space.
I work with people from diverse cultural backgrounds ready for something deeper: real, ongoing work that meets you where you are — not where a system expects you to be. Migrant, refugee, and multicultural communities — people who grew up between worlds, navigating anxiety, depression, complex trauma, OCD, or borderline presentations and never quite finding a service that reached them.

Navigating the world as a neurodivergent person can be incredibly challenging, especially without adequate support. If you're autistic, have ADHD, are part of the LGBTQIA+ community, or are a trauma survivor, you know the unique hurdles that come with higher rates of trauma and PTSD. Life can feel overwhelming when you're managing sensory differences, executive functioning struggles, and the exhausting work of masking.

Living far from home has its own kind of weight. The guilt of missing important moments. The loneliness that doesn't go away even when life looks good on the outside. The strange feeling of loving where you came from and loving where you are now, and not fully belonging to either.
When you're an immigrant, the everyday comes with extra. Feeling overwhelmed, anxious or exhausted while trying to make everything work, and often doing it quietly, because the people around you don't always understand it.
I know what that feels like. I'm an immigrant too. That's part of why I do this work.
