A therapist with a difference. The past 21 years in this field have taught me that besides being professional, well trained, a therapist has to be genuinely humane, humble, approachable, and compassionate with a sense of humour, whilst supporting, walking with clients on their journey to wellness. I don’t give advice, because I believe each client is the expert of their own lives. No individual person is a problem but a problem is a problem and my job is to help clients recover remember and reclaim their agency. I was not there at the start nor can change it but I can be there to empower you with choices where and how you finish

Many of my clients come to me feeling overwhelmed, uncertain, and disconnected from themselves after experiencing trauma or a life crisis. They may struggle to regain a sense of control in their lives. I specialise in affordable, trauma-focused counselling and my approach centres on creating a safe and non judgmental space where they can rebuild their emotional resilience and begin healing at their own pace.

Even as you’re getting through work, school, or family life, your mind might feel busy, tired, or overloaded. You overthink, replay conversations, and push through - even though it’s starting to feel harder to keep going. Part of you just wants things to feel calmer again, without having to pretend you’re fine or push yourself even harder.

Join me on a journey to reclaim the power you were born with. Embrace your vulnerability; within it lies the key to finding wholeness amid brokenness and forging deep connections even in loneliness. Remember, true change doesn’t come from fixing what you see as broken. It springs from the brave act of welcoming and celebrating who you truly are in all your beautiful complexity.

Samantha is a clinical psychologist, she believes the same procedure cannot work on everyone as everybody is unique. For this reason, she goes the extra mile and modifies her techniques to cater to the very personal needs of her clients. She sometimes uses multiple techniques and a combination of them to provide her clients with whatever suits the best to them. Hypnosis, Cognitive and Behavioral Therapy and Psychodynamic are some of the methods she uses. She considers the goal of her practice is to see her clients living a fulfilling life and enjoying it at its best within themselves and with their loved ones.

At times, life is hard, and we sometimes find ourselves in problem situations that we struggle to cope with. Our family and friends, who normally provide us with most of our support, are not always able to help. Indeed, though well-meaning, their advice can actually be counter-productive and increase our personal difficulties. This is where Counselling Therapy can be especially useful. We provide support to clients suffering from a range of issues that most of us face at some time, including stress & anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, relationship troubles, academic/work issues, trauma & poor personal boundaries.

Done with talk therapy? Music can do better. I am a trauma-aware, cultural-sensitive music therapist. I understand that therapy is hard work and it is great you are reaching out for support. Music therapy is a modality that taps into your unconscious headspace. Some 95 per cent of thought happens below the radar. By exploring life issues within your unconscious headspace, you essentially access the neuro-powerhouse to gain new insights, beat your bad habits and address unconscious biases. The power to heal resides in you.

"I did not change, I just woke up" (Anonymous). At some point in your life, you can be stuck in a rut and hungry to move forward and find something (be it a personal issue, work, relationship, sexual connection) that is more fulfilling and meaningful. You have read all the self-help books, journaled, and attended retreats yet still feel something amiss. The "old ways" of living and being that used to be helpful have no longer served their function and lost their spark.

My clients often feel stuck in patterns such as addiction, compulsive behaviours, anxiety, OCD, depression, or unresolved trauma. They may be functioning outwardly but feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or burdened by shame and emotional pain. They need a safe, non-judgmental therapeutic relationship and both practical tools and deeper healing work. Their goal is not only symptom relief, but lasting change—greater emotional freedom, healthier relationships, and a stronger sense of self. They seek therapy to understand themselves better, heal at the root, and live with more authenticity and balance.

My clients are often the last people anyone would expect to be struggling. They're high-functioning, consistently delivering — and quietly exhausted in a way they can't explain. Persistent anxiety that looks like conscientiousness. Burnout that looks like ambition. A constant sense of bracing for something to go wrong, even when nothing is.
What I offer isn't a coping toolkit. It's the slower work of understanding why you operate the way you do and what becomes possible when you're not spending all your energy holding it together.

Hi there! I am glad that we are already meeting for the first time. You may be reading this while looking for the "right" therapist for yourself, your child, parent or your relationship. You may thinking that the troubles that you/ your loved one face are "strange" and "alien". These are understandable thoughts. However, you are never alone as the type of issues you/loved ones face are more commonly faced by others than we think. Regardless of their issues, all clients hope to be understood, to live meaningful lives, either by reducing or learning to live alongside their problems/symptoms.

I work with individuals, couples and families who are feeling hopeless, stuck, or utterly overwhelmed. They might be facing the devastation of an extra-marital affair, struggling with constant conflict, or feeling distant from one another. I also work closely with parents facing behavioural concerns in their children, and families navigating complex crises or transitions.
My goal is to guide you away from hopelessness toward healthier patterns, stability, and meaningful growth.

Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online or over the phone can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your postcode.
What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counsellor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counsellors are all licensed mental health professionals. In many countries, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counsellor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counsellors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counsellor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counselling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
