Clients Words

“I recommend this Counsellor to literally everyone I know- no matter the need (big or small). It feels like such a comfortable safe space and has really helped me grow. I’ve worked through some very traumatic experiences, and she was there every step of the way. I felt seen, heard, and supported. I came into counselling because of child abuse, but it has helped me more than I could have imagined. I have learned that it is ok to ask for help. I felt very understood from my sessions. I felt that I was able to move on from the past. My favourite part was how welcoming and understanding Samantha was. I felt truly cared about and like I mattered. I have felt so welcomed and supported by Samantha. This is truly the most important resource in my personal opinion. Samantha has changed my life. I just appreciate how much Samantha cared about me to be quite honest. I’ve learned a lot of things, but I guess most importantly I’ve learned some better coping mechanisms. I learned to understand my hidden internal processes and frameworks that were holding me back and how to overcome them! I love that Samantha leads me to these discoveries myself! My experience has been life changing and there have been topics and trauma well outside of grief that we have continued to tackle. I have gained an appreciation for self-love. I can't explain in words how much transformation I've gone through. I can't thank you enough for everything you've done for and with me.” NC, Queensland, Australia

"Sami. I wanted to let you know how much I appreciate the sessions we have.
Each time we chat, I walk away with another tool in my tool kit and a better way of treating myself.
It is easy to listen to the old voices, and slip into the negative and judging ingrained path.
By reminding myself and showing my family that I am able to be empathic and kind to myself, and give time to be curious instead of judgemental, has been what gets me through each day. Just wanted to say thank you."

"Thank you so very much for holding such a kind and gentle space for me yesterday, Sami. You are a remarkable and incredibly gifted woman." NF, Perth, WA

The counselling session was beautiful and a very safe place. It was a space to allow some of those feelings that are very close to the surface all the time to come out, so thank you for providing that. YF, Perth, Western Australia

Ordinarily, I find it hard to open up to people around personal issues. Sami’s lack of judgment made it easy to talk about some very difficult emotions and memories. I felt safe. LK, Perth, Western Australia

Thank you so much for all of your hard work. It feels nice to have you in my corner, instead of feeling like I’m in a round room, with no corners and nobody there for me” MP, New South Wales, Australia
