"Helping you move from surviving to thriving"
I’m a BACP-registered, trauma-informed psychotherapist, mental health nurse and coach with over 25 years’ experience working in mental health. I’ve helped many people work through a wide range of emotional and psychological challenges — from anxiety and depression to trauma, self-esteem issues and relationship struggles.
I offer a safe and supportive space where you can explore what’s going on for you. Together, we’ll work to understand the root of your difficulties, not just the symptoms, and help you move forward with more clarity, confidence and purpose.
Here are some of the issues I commonly support people with:
• Anxiety, panic, and overthinking
• Depression, low mood and self-esteem
• Emotional regulation
• Relationship and attachment difficulties
• Childhood trauma and complex PTSD
• Loss of identity, confidence or purpose
• Impact of chronic illness
• Eating disorders (binge eating, bulimia)
• Work-related stress, burnout, or bullying
• Family issues, including experiences of abuse, neglect, or difficult
early relationships
My Approach
My style is warm, active, and collaborative. I combine evidence-based therapies like:
• CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy)
• ACT (Acceptance & Commitment Therapy)
• Compassion-Focused Therapy
• Mindfulness-Based CBT (trauma informed)
• DBT skills for emotional regulation
This means we’ll tailor your therapy to what you need — whether you're looking to build coping strategies, process past experiences, improve relationships, or reconnect with your sense of self.
Previous clients have fed back on how they have benefited from my warm, insightful and professional approach, and that our work together helps them make real progress. It is always a privilege to be alongside my clients on their journey.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Samantha is very caring and knowledgeable
Since I started with Samantha I have felt strongly supported to the extent that the improvement in my mental health has been amazing. I was very anxious when we began and was unable to believe that I would so rapidly see an improvement. I am now able to recognize where my problems began and have been able to resume activities that previously I felt would be impossible, for example driving again. I am able to relax and to enjoy social situations that previously I had avoided. All in all this has been, and continues to be, an extremely positive experience.
Samantha is considerate, professional and will provide you with tools to start getting better and support you strongly on your journey. She creates an environment where you instantly feel safe and are ready to share more than you thought you would.
Samantha makes me feel seen, heard and understood in our sessions and in our communications between sessions. She asks me questions which are so relevant to my situation and encourages me to think about what's really important, especially those things that I might have shied away from thinking about or discussing with other people. She has set a really good pace in our conversations - my thoughts and feelings are quite complex, and I don't feel rushed to make any decisions or come to a conclusion. As someone who is very open in sharing my feelings with friends and family I was a bit sceptical about how helpful talking therapy would be for me, but I am definitely feeling the benefits.
Samantha is great! Knows how to approach the sessions in a way that I can figure out the answers by myself instead of just giving me one. Would definitely recommend!
I'm so thankful I connected with Samantha. She is professional, responsive and sensitive, while also knowledgable and straightforward with me. The way she understands me has been a long-awaited breath of fresh air. She validates my emotions and experiences and works carefully with me to identify patterns and goals. Samantha helps me process things and provides useful, enlightening perspectives for me to work with. She has been tremendously supportive and has really made a difference in my life.
She picks things up about my situation very quickly. She is so transparent and calming and gets to the heart of things. I think she is very calming is kind in her direct counsel
