About me

Hi, I’m Sam, a Children's Creative Counsellor 💛 I bring a little sunshine into the lives of children, young people, and their families because everyone deserves to feel heard, safe, valued, and understood. 💛 Growing up, I often felt unheard, so I know how powerful it is to have a space where you can just beno pressure, no judgment, just you. That’s exactly what I offer, a warm, supportive, and empowering space where children can express themselves in their own way. 💛 I’m also a mum and a grandma, so I get it, parenting can feel overwhelming, especially when your child is struggling and you’re not sure how to help. That’s why I also support parents, helping you feel more confident in navigating the ups and downs of family life. 💛 I work creatively, using play, imagination, and a bit of silliness to help children and young people explore their thoughts and feelings. Therapy doesn’t have to be serious all the time, it can be engaging, fun, and even a little magical! 💛 If sitting in a room talking doesn’t feel right, I also offer Creative Trails, a chance to step outside, get some fresh air, and chat in a more relaxed, pressure-free way. Sometimes, moving helps the words flow. 💛 With over 25 years’ experience working with children, I’ve seen just how much of a difference it makes when a child starts to believe in themselves. 💛 My goal? For your child to leave a session feeling lighter, stronger, and thinking… "Yes! I feel good about myself." I’d love to hear from you. My inbox is always open 😊
