Samantha is extremely understanding and supportive. She has gotten to grips with my situation really fast and has helped me to explore my feelings and find practical solutions. She is extremely down to earth, sensitive but also direct, which is exactly what I need.

Really like the way Samantha phrases her questions, really helps me direct my thoughts and say what I feel, gives me the space to say things out loud and helps me realize what my words mean.

Sam is utterly brilliant! I have had many therapists over the years but no one has quite got the results out of me like Sam has and I cannot thank her enough. Highly recommend!

Working with Samantha as my therapist for the last few months have been so helpful for me in dealing with anxiety and overwhelming emotions, she seems to always know the right questions to ask, and have a really thought through balance between professionalism and casual talk.
She never minds me going of on my own trains of thought, and brilliantly picks up on small details in what i'm trying to say in our sessions.
I would highly recommend Samantha!

An understanding person, doesn't un-necessarily push the direction of conversation, she lets you get your feelings out in the open and doesn't mind if you go on tangents.

After talking with my psychologist for a few sessions, I started to feel calm. I started to focus on myself rather other people. It’s really good talking with professionals because they can go deep and help you understand the mean reasons behind your actions.
