Samantha is an experienced Trauma Counsellor and Accredited Mental Health Social Worker (AMHSW). She provides trauma-responsive counselling support to her clients; recognising how stress, trauma and chronic pressure not only affect and shape our nervous system but affects everyday behaviour and interactions, our relationships, our engagement with work and workplace culture.

She specializes in working with a range of issues including:

• PTSD, Complex Trauma, Childhood Trauma

• Bullying and Harassment

• Workplace trauma, dealing with impacts of workplace and organisational changes

• Domestic and Family Violence and its impacts

• Dealing with stress and burnout-related concerns

• Experiences of Depression and Anxiety

• Grief and Loss

• Significant life changes and transition and their impacts

• Help with relational skills such as boundaries and communication

• Wanting to improve your relationship to yourself and self-image

Samantha draws on a number of different approaches in her practice and tailors her approach to your therapeutic goals and where you’re at. Some of these approaches include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Interpersonal Psychotherapy, Solution Focused therapies, Grief and Loss, Self-Compassion, Somatic therapies and Trauma-Informed frameworks.

She believes that incorporating a trauma-informed lens into her client work allows people to place the challenges they are facing in their appropriate context rather than forming unhelpful beliefs about themselves and their world.
