Firstly, let me say how much I admire you for being here. Admitting you’re struggling and something needs to change can be scary and confronting. It's easy to listen to your mind telling you to just get on with it, life isn’t that bad, and that you should be able to figure this out on your own.
And underneath all of it, you find it hard to trust others because deep down you don't fully trust yourself.
Maybe you've found yourself crying without really knowing why, or snapping at someone you love and feeling immediately guilty. Or perhaps it's more of a quiet numbness, a sense that you're going through the motions but not really living.
I’m here to help you quieten that critical voice and remind you that working on yourself takes true strength. It’s not easy to be vulnerable and ask for help, especially when you’ve spent so much of your life focusing on the needs of those around you.
That’s why my work is about meeting you where you are and gently, at a pace that feels right for you, uncovering the roots of what keeps you disconnected from yourself.
When you're stressed, anxious and on the verge of burnout, when your body is exhausted but your mind won't stop, it can feel impossible to imagine another way of living.
Through our work together you'll learn what's possible.
What gets to be different...
You no longer need to fill every moment of your day and now rest without guilt. Your mind has learned to quieten and the endless looping thoughts have finally settled
Your daily anxiety and overwhelm have been replaced with a sense of inner peace and contentment, allowing you to feel joy and playfulness in your life
You begin to feel at home in your own body for the first time, no longer bracing for the next thing
You’ve stopped second guessing yourself and looking to others for approval and you now have full confidence in the choices you make
You start to uncover who you are beneath your current patterns of protection and come to accept the version of you that exists underneath
Your fear of saying no and letting other people down has been replaced by boundaries that feel natural and protective
This isn’t about becoming someone different. It’s about connecting back to who you were always meant to be.
The way I work
Sessions are guided by me, led by you. My role isn’t to tell you what to do, it’s to offer a safe, non-judgmental space that meets you where you are. The mind and body are worked with interchangeably. Some sessions may start with what’s on your mind and we’ll carefully slow that down so we can check in with what your body is holding. Other sessions may require us to start with what your body is bringing you at that moment and see where that takes us.
Therapy isn’t about being broken and needing a fix. It’s about being in a safe space that allows you to uncover the beliefs and past experiences keeping you from living a life that feels truly like yours. Nothing is wrong with you. You simply have a body living in survival mode that needs to learn how to feel safe enough to relax and let go.
In order to experience lasting change it’s not enough to simply retell and understand our experiences. When we’ve experienced chronic stress and trauma the body gets switched into a mode where it’s constantly scanning for the next threat. This feeling lives in the body and so that’s where we need to work with it.
What you think and believe is important, but too often staying just in the story keeps you stuck in the same cycle. Through this work together we can gradually reconnect into your body and meet the sensations and emotions that haven’t yet had the space to be held.
1:1 Private Therapy
My 1:1 therapy sessions offer open ended support that allows the work to take as long as it needs. It means you never feel rushed or pressured to figure things out within a set time frame and allows us to work across different aspects and layers as they emerge. Working together over time enables a deepening relationship built on trust, essential for the vulnerable parts of us to feel safe to be seen and supported.
I’m Samantha, a Psychotherapist and EFT Practitioner based in Leicestershire and working online with clients across the UK and worldwide. I understand the importance of finding the right person to work with. I offer a complimentary 30-minute connection call, which gives us the opportunity to explore the support you’re looking for in more detail and to see whether working together would be a supportive fit.

Working with Sam was one of the best investments that I made in myself in 2023. Throughout the whole process from start to finish I felt supported and guided. After working with Sam, I now feel a lot more confident and comfortable making decisions for both me and my business. It's really helped me see the importance in looking after me and putting myself first, as for so long I came at the bottom of the list.
Sophie
Working with Samantha challenged me to think more clearly and was a relief for my mind.
I now have new skills after just a few sessions that will help me in my business and personal life. For me as a mum to be able to calm my mind and relax more it really helps my work life balance. I can be calmer and less stressed for my children and strive for the creative challenges as an entrepreneur.
Lorna
I have been working with Sam for over a year now and the results I have personally and professionally experienced throughout the past year have been extraordinary. Sam has been very understanding of my situation and helped me overcome some challenges I never thought I would have survived through. Every time I was feeling particularly low or lost Sam would pick me up and get me back on the right path within minutes of chatting.
