Sami creates such a safe and open space every session. The progress I've made personally in the last 3 months is more than I have made with previous psychologists and counsellors. Sami is SO easy to talk to, and honestly, she just gets it. I wish I'd found her sooner.
COUNSELLING CLIENT / DECEMBER '24
I cannot recommend Sami highly enough. Her depth of insight and ability to connect dots in ways that previous psychologists have not is such a credit to her as a talented counsellor. She has helped me gain a deeper understanding of my own difficulties and coping styles. Her approach is warm, intuitive, and incredibly effective.
COUNSELLING CLIENT / SEPTEMBER '24
I couldn't recommend Sami enough. She has helped me so much to overcome a lot of struggles - she is kind, compassionate, and just a lovely person. I always look forward to our sessions and appreciate the time and effort she puts into them.
COUNSELLING CLIENT / APRIL '24
I feel supported and empowered in ways I haven't before. Sami is a truly exceptional counsellor and I'm so grateful for her guidance.
COUNSELLING CLIENT / SEPTEMBER '24
Sami really knows how to dig into topics deeper, but in a very comfortable way. It feels like I am talking to a good friend which makes it so much easier to open up. I would 100% recommend Sami to anyone who is feeling uneasy about accessing help.
COUNSELLING CLIENT / APRIL '24
I have never felt confident discussing some of the topics that I have been talking about with Sami. She has really helped me navigate different areas of my anxiety in ways I haven't done before. I am only a couple of sessions in and I am already noticing little differences!

COUNSELLING CLIENT / JULY '22
Comfortable and helpful session, left me feeling confident moving forward with my new strategies to try out, and within myself 🙂
COUNSELLING CLIENT / JANUARY '22
I'm no longer stressing about every food choice and I'm able to take a step back and look at my triggers with a different eye and understand where they are coming from. I've been struggling with my food for years and thought I'd never get past it, Sami's support has been next to none and I really can't thank her enough 🥰
COACHING CLIENT / MAY '22
Never have I felt more comfortable with my first session with a counsellor! Thank you Sami!
COUNSELLING CLIENT / JULY '22
Sami has honestly made such an impact on me. I'm immersing myself in more positive voices and it's like a light has been turned on in my brain. I am starting to give myself permission to be happy and confident, while also enjoying food and not beating myself up about what I'm eating. I'm finally not spending my days obsessing over food and it's amazing what that makes room for in my headspace!
COACHING CLIENT / MARCH '22
I have never felt so comfortable with someone before!! I love how Sami makes me feel heard
COUNSELLING CLIENT / AUGUST '22
Thank you SO much for being so great at genuinely being a sounding board. It's awesome to talk to a third party without feeling judged. You are awesome!
COACHING CLIENT / JANUARY '22
Sami, I’m so glad I found you! I feel seen and heard. I love that you give me actual tangible strategies that help! You are amazing at what you do.
COUNSELLING CLIENT / APRIL '22
Sami was very helpful and understanding when I needed help and was feeling vulnerable, I know I still have a way to go, but I now have the tools to keep moving forward and define my own version of healthy that fits my lifestyle and values!
COACHING CLIENT / DECEMBER '21
I help my clients to:
By helping to discover the deeper origins of my clients’ problems, working through limiting beliefs, implementing self-care techniques and evidence-based strategies, and providing support and encouragement, I help my clients show up more authentically in life, armed with the tools they need to succeed in their desired goals and outcomes.
It’s important to me that my clients feel they are in a safe and non-judgmental atmosphere in order to create an encouraging and supportive space for self-exploration, and work towards positive changes in thoughts, feelings and behaviours.
Along with my empathetic and client-centred approach, I utilise various proven psychotherapy techniques to increase each client’s level of self-awareness and autonomy in life, and safely guide them along to not only create their own path with goals to work towards, but implement actionable steps to help achieve them, too!
