Feel connected and alive in your relationships.

Work with me

You want to stop…

Keeping people at a distance while craving closeness — appearing strong but feeling isolated and lonely
Not being fully honest or authentic — protecting yourself through charm, control or secrecy which sabotages real connection
Giving too much — ending up unappreciated, unseen or drained
Lashing out or becoming prickly when emotions run high — pushing others away and damaging trust
Overthinking every interaction — never quite believing you’re truly loved or safe

You’re ready to…

Face what blocks closeness — build warm, mutual relationships that feel emotionally alive
Be honest with yourself and others – connect from a place of authenticity
Honour your needs and wellbeing — give and receive in balance, grounded in real self-worth
Strengthen emotional capacity — stay present and connected through intense feelings, deepening trust and intimacy
Feel secure in yourself — cultivate loving, meaningful relationships without fear

I’m Sam.

You’ve found a safe, non-judgmental space. I understand how much you're struggling — but I also believe in your capacity to grow and move forward.

I’m deeply committed to this work because I’ve seen how life-changing good therapy can be — for my clients and in my own life. When we collaborate, I bring my full presence, care and expertise to help you meet your goals. You’ll have a steady, experienced guide — someone who can help you face what’s difficult and stay with it, so real change can happen.

I have ten years’ experience helping people overcome low self-esteem, problems developing and maintaining deep intimate relationships and the effects of complex trauma. Right from the first session, you’ll gain more clarity on what’s causing your problems and what needs to shift to relieve your distress so you can have the life you want.

Many of my clients have tried other therapies before, but found that talking alone didn’t lead to transformation. My approach is grounded in depth-oriented therapy (ISTDP), which focuses on shifting the unconscious emotional patterns that keep you stuck — helping you build genuine self-worth, deep intimate relationships and emotional freedom.
