Hey there, I’m Sam.

I’m a Level 2 ACA Registered Counsellor, and I provide online trauma therapy for people across Melbourne and throughout Australia who have been through really hard and overwhelming experiences, including childhood trauma.

I grew up in Melbourne’s outer eastern suburbs, so there’s something meaningful for me in supporting people who are navigating life in and around Melbourne I once called home.

I help people make sense of what they’ve been through, understand their patterns, and move towards healing in a way that feels safe and manageable. Healing is possible, even if it doesn’t feel that way right now.

I’ve worked in the trauma space for over 20 years, and I understand how heavy it can feel to carry all of this on your own.

You don’t have to do this alone. Together, we create a space where you can explore your story safely, at your own pace.

My work is trauma-informed and relational, and I often draw on Internal Family Systems (IFS) to help you explore your inner world with curiosity, care, and self-acceptance.
