Hi, I am Sam. I am a counsellor, a wife, mother, grandmother, daughter, ex-educator, and good all round human. There has been a lot of life before counselling and lived experience of mental health, both my own and family members. I understand only too well the ripple effect that mental health has on relationships. There is a way forward, to heal and repair. Having someone that isn't emotionally involved in your daily affairs, that you feel you can trust and is really hearing you, can be the first step to a healthy and long recovery. Welcome, I look forward to meeting you.
I work with neurodivergent and neurotypical clients. Many say that feeling truly heard is what brings early relief in therapy. You are the expert in your own life—I’m here to help you make sense of things again, find practical strategies, and manage stress, anxiety, and overwhelm as you move toward a healthier future.
I know how powerful it can be to feel truly heard. I’ve experienced my own challenges, and I understand how overwhelming life can feel, especially when things change and the way forward isn’t clear. Facing that alone is tough. I offer a warm, non-judgemental space where you can be yourself, as we build trust and move forward together.
