Therapist & Counsellor

Hi, my name is Samantha and I am a therapist and counsellor. I am very passionate about what I do.
Offering face-to-face therapy sessions based in London, online and telephone therapy.

I am an autism-informed practitioner working in a specialist educational setting with young adults.
I also have a specialisation in trauma and PTSD with a background in care and healing work with;

● Autistic spectrum, ADHD and neurodiversity.
● PTSD
● Trauma and childhood abuse
● Sexual abuse
● Intimacy issues
● Anxiety
● Family/relationship issues
● Self-esteem and confidence,
● Positive thinking
● Bereavement

Following an integrative approach to helping people navigate their way through whatever difficulties they are facing.
Integrative is using several counselling frameworks. I use Psychodynamic, mindfulness-based and person-centred therapy in a way that is appropriate to each client's individual needs.
I use my skills to go in-depth with clients to explore past experiences and fears to release pain and help make peace to move forward.

I also like to use creative therapy, which uses creative ways to help people feel at ease to explore the things they feel they need to.

Having experience within a prison and secondary education setting as a therapist and support teacher. This combination of therapy and education has allowed me to gain a deep understanding of the unique challenges faced by individuals in educational and institutional settings.

I have pioneered a unique technique for trauma memory recovery that helps clients connect to their past experiences in a reframed way. The technique is the Retrace Therapy Technique© (RTT). This process helps unlock, process, and alleviate symptoms of post-traumatic stress PTSD and past trauma. I run workshops for other therapists to share and teach this technique.

One of my key offerings is longer therapy sessions. Research suggests that longer sessions, without the common 50-minute time constraint, allows clients to speak more freely and work through emotions without feeling rushed or measured. I offer these extended sessions when appropriate, following an initial assessment.

Above all, I create a safe, non-judgmental space where clients are met with empathy, respect, and understanding, ensuring they feel heard and supported throughout their therapeutic journey.
