Nothing is broken. You don’t need fixing. You simply need to find your way back to yourself.

I know this because I've lived it. My path to this work has been messy. It has come from my own experience of recognising the parts of me that needed healing in order to fully come back to myself.
While I had been functioning, some things still weren't right and following that intuitive nudge led me to my diagnosis of Chronic Lyme Disease. Finally understanding the root of my health battles was liberating, however, the journey to regain my health was far from easy. This wasn't just physical healing. It required a deeper connection with myself — with what my body was holding and what my emotions were trying to tell me. And it showed me that healing works in layers.
2016
Disconnected from my body, living for other people's approval and stuck in a cycle of stress — forever proving my worth and never quite feeling enough.
Early life
Diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue. My body was sending messages I didn't yet know how to hear. It forced me to slow down and begin the inner healing I hadn’t even realised I needed.
2007
Seeing the change in myself and my own health lit a passion in me to work with others. In 2015 I joined a world leading burnout clinic as a Psychology Practitioner supporting 100s of patients on their recovery from CFS.
2015
Alongside my private practice I am supporting masterclasses with Gabor Maté and Bessel van der Kolk whose work on trauma and the body sits at the heart of my own approach.
2025-Present
Established my private practice, working with the full spectrum from burnout and anxiety through to complex trauma rooted in childhood wounds and experiences.
2020
Your body is your friend, not your enemy.
I now know that no amount of pills, supplements or a perfect diet will heal a body stuck in stress. When I started to understand that the symptoms I was getting, the emotions I was unintentionally suppressing and the adrenaline I was confusing for energy were all messages from the body, everything began to change.
Dealing with ill health for over 20 years has been one of the hardest challenges of my life. I won't pretend to sit here and be grateful for the experience, because quite honestly I would love to have never had that road to travel.
But what I can honestly say is that going through such a traumatic time with my health and coming out the other side made me realise something I'm eternally grateful for...
My philosophy
The body holds the key
Knowing and understanding how you're feeling, and even where it might come from, isn't enough to create meaningful and lasting change. 95% of our patterns, beliefs, emotions and behaviours live outside the rational mind, held as implicit memory and automatic responses below conscious thought.
That's why talking therapy alone can often build understanding but not always create change. When you bring in the body you are working with the nervous system directly — with the automatic responses and conditioned patterns that shape how we feel, react and relate, often without our awareness.
Healing has to go to the roots
Some clients come to me because they know something feels off but don't always know what's playing out. Others know what patterns they're running but still can't make a change. Regardless of where we’re starting it’s always about going beyond the surface to what's actually holding you back.
It's only when the body feels safe that real change becomes possible
My person centred approach allows me to create a safe space in which you can do this work at your own pace. I believe in respecting the body's defences and working with them rather than against them. I'm here to facilitate your change, not force it.
How do I work?
I’m Samantha, a Psychotherapist and EFT Practitioner. The mind and the body are not separate and the work reflects that.
Sometimes we start with the story, the problem that's seeking a solution and we gently follow it into the body. Other times we meet the bodily sensations and emotions and through honouring them and allowing their presence the cognitive shifts happen naturally.
My training spans both mind and body, combining psychotherapeutic depth with body-based and energy practices:
What working together looks like will always be led by you. Based in Leicestershire, I work online across the UK and worldwide. If you’re ready to begin, I’d love to hear from you

I didn't know what to expect but this has been an amazing, life-changing (or should I say, level up-ing) experience! So so grateful! I feel so much at peace now, and at ease. I feel so optimistic about my future both in my personal life and in my business. I now know that I can deal with anything that comes my way because I have the tools to support myself through whatever comes next. And that, honestly, could not have happened without Samantha's help and compassion.
