trauma therapy
for people in melbourne
(Supporting you with childhood trauma, religious trauma and difficult life experiences with clarity, compassion and connection.)
you’re welcome here
Hey there, I’m Sam.
I’m a Level 2 ACA Registered Counsellor, and I provide online trauma therapy for people across Melbourne, regional Victoria 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.
online therapy (telehealth)
Online therapy allows you to access support from anywhere across Melbourne, whether you're in the CBD, the outer eastern suburbs, the west, the north, the Mornington Peninsula, or somewhere in between.
Rather than spending time travelling across the city, you can connect with your therapist from the comfort and privacy of your own space.
Online therapy can be especially helpful if you're balancing work, family responsibilities, study, health challenges, or simply prefer being in a familiar environment during sessions.
Benefits of Virtual Therapy:
feel more comfortable, cozy, and safe
no travel or waiting rooms
flexible and accessible sessions
show up as you are, with a cup of tea and fidget toys if needed
how i can support people in melbourne
Therapy for
childhood trauma
Counselling support for Adult Survivors of Childhood Abuse and Childhood Trauma, including Childhood Sexual Abuse (CSA), helping you move from feeling overwhelmed by your past to feeling more grounded, understood, and hopeful about healing.
Therapy for religious + spiritual trauma
Counselling support for people healing from Religious Trauma and experiences in high-control environments, including Pentecostal church settings and MLMs, helping you move from confusion, self-doubt, and disconnection toward clarity, self-trust, and a stronger sense of who you are.
neuro-affirming therapy
Counselling support for late-diagnosed or self-diagnosed adults with Autism, ADHD, or AuDHD, offering a neuro-affirming approach that sees neurodivergence as a natural variation rather than a deficit, helping you move from masking and self-doubt toward self-acceptance, clarity, and a stronger sense of self.
supporting people across melbourne
I work with people throughout Melbourne, including the eastern suburbs, western suburbs, northern suburbs, bayside areas, the Mornington Peninsula, and surrounding regions.
Whether you're in Ringwood, Croydon, Box Hill, Doncaster, Hawthorn, Richmond, Fitzroy, Brunswick, Coburg, Footscray, Werribee, Sunbury, Frankston, St Kilda, or somewhere nearby, online therapy allows you to access support from the comfort of your own space.
You might be looking for support if you're:
feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or emotionally exhausted
carrying the impact of childhood trauma or difficult life experiences
struggling with people-pleasing, perfectionism, or self-doubt
feeling disconnected from yourself or unsure why certain patterns keep repeating
navigating religious trauma, identity shifts, or questions about who you are
wanting a deeper understanding of yourself and your experiences
starting therapy
Reaching out can feel like a big step. I know how nerve-wracking it might feel.
But just so you know:
You don’t need to have the right words (that’s kind of my job!).
You don’t need to have it all figured out (we’ll get there together!).
And you certainly don’t need to talk about your trauma (until you’re ready).
You’re allowed to come exactly as you are.
When you feel ready, you can book a session below — there’s also an option for a free 15-minute meet & greet if you’d prefer to start there.
Or, if you’d like to know a little more first, you can visit the FAQ.
