Integrative Psychotherapist | Relationship Specialist | Trauma-Informed Clinician.

Samantha is a highly regarded integrative psychotherapist, relationship counsellor, accredited coach, and mindfulness-based practitioner with over two decades of clinical experience supporting individuals and couples through complex psychological, relational, and developmental challenges.

Her practice draws upon an advanced interdisciplinary framework, informed by contemporary neuroscience, trauma theory, somatic psychology, and attachment-based relational psychotherapy. Samantha specialises in the treatment of complex trauma, co-dependency, emotional dysregulation, relational ruptures, and neurodivergence, offering deeply attuned care that is both evidence-informed and intuitively responsive.

She holds formal training in Psychosynthesis, Compassionate Inquiry (Dr. Gabor Maté), Advanced Couples Therapy, IFS-informed practice, and Professional Energy Psychotherapy, and works within the BACP Ethical Framework, supported by regular clinical supervision.

Samantha is known for her warm, direct, and emotionally intelligent therapeutic presence. Her clients consistently describe her as deeply empathic, grounded, and clear-sighted — a therapist who is unafraid to walk with them through uncertainty, grief, shame, and transformation. She creates an environment of psychological safety, relational depth, and embodied insight, allowing clients to access the parts of themselves that have long been suppressed or exiled.

In addition to her clinical expertise, Samantha brings a unique depth to her work through her background as a Reiki Master, wild herbalist, and Earth-based ritualist. Her personal commitment to daily contemplative practice — including silent time in nature, sea immersion, and meditation — informs her capacity to help clients regulate, reset, and reconnect to their own inner healing intelligence.

She offers a rare therapeutic space that honours the whole person — cognitive, emotional, somatic, and spiritual — while maintaining high standards of psychological depth, ethical integrity, and relational attunement.Samantha follows an Ethical Framework – please download the pdf of the BACP guidelines
