Connect Attune Strengthen
I am an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker with therapeutic counselling experience across acute mental health services, gender services, sexual assault, trauma, family violence, crisis response, and the education system. I offer clients acceptance, warmth and a non-judgmental space to move towards healing.
Provision of confidential counselling and psychological support for adults, adolescents and children who are seeking to improve their mental health.
I care about helping individuals heal, improve quality of life, resolve issues that have been getting in the way, achieve growth, and become aware of strengths with which they may have lost touch. I work in a trauma informed and responsive way, aiming to reduce suffering. Ultimately, I aim to support clients to empower themselves through counselling.
Some of the issues I work with include stress, depression, anxiety, sexual assault, PTSD, parenting issues, life transitions, advocacy and trauma. I integrate a range of evidence based therapeutic approaches including TF CBT, CFT, polyvagal theory, somatic awareness, solutions focused, EMDR, Mindfulness, Single Session Thinking and Strengths. Significantly, my approach is client centred, client led, and is an integrated experiential therapy approach.
As a social worker, I believe in supporting other professionals in the field, and as such I offer professional supervision. Please email or phone me for a discussion about your needs, interest areas, and potential fit.

Almost every day I refer to the advice that Sam gave me to assist in the healing process for the children and I. Sam's warm, empathic approach and strong advocacy provided me with the strength and confidence to get through this phase in my life. My encounter with Sam was a turning point for me and I would like her to know how much of an impact she has had on my recovery. Yours sincerely, N
I am writing this to convey my sincere and heartfelt appreciation of Sam for all the extraordinary help that she provided me with during counselling. In one session, Sam provided me with more insight and suggestions than I received after years of counselling elsewhere. Above anything else, I felt understood, validated and respected as a person.
I'd like to thank you for your guidance and counselling over the past few months, you're a champion. I've received a huge amount out of seeing you and have learnt so much about myself. All the best, Z
