~ Counselling & Trauma Therapy
Welcome.
My name is Samantha, but most people call me Sami. It's good to have you here.
I am a social worker specialising in counselling for adults who are affected by trauma, including survivors of childhood sexual abuse. I also provide a gentle, safe, trauma informed space for women wishing to reconnect to themselves, their bodies and their lives. My therapy rooms are based in Fremantle, Western Australia, and I offer video and phone support nationwide.
​
Are you a survivor of childhood sexual abuse?
â–¹Perhaps you’ve never disclosed the abuse to anyone, because you’ve felt ashamed.
â–¹Perhaps you did disclose, but you were not believed, and so you shut down.
â–¹Perhaps you’re having flashbacks, nightmares or intrusive thoughts.
â–¹Perhaps you struggle to feel safe or to trust others.
â–¹Perhaps the abuse is impacting your intimate relationship/s.
â–¹Perhaps you are becoming easily triggered by sounds, smells, images, people, places.
â–¹Perhaps you’ve tried counselling but it just felt like you were repeating your story over and over and you don’t feel any better.
​
We can work together to lessen the impacts of trauma and help you acquire tools to self-regulate and feel more peace, joy and connection.
"Trauma blocks love and connection and healing our wounds provides access to the love and good that is inherent to us all"

"The essence of trauma is disconnection from ourselves"

​
â–¹Are you feeling disconnected from yourself, your life, or your partner?
â–¹Are you wondering 'is this all there is?'
â–¹Are you tired of looking after everyone else, but don't know how to care for yourself?
â–¹Perhaps you struggle to connect with your emotions and your body.
â–¹Perhaps you carry old pain that still shows up in your body and in your relationships.
â–¹Perhaps you struggle to rest and relax, feeling that your nervous system is always 'on edge or overwhelmed.
​
I hold a safe, gentle space for women wanting to find reconnection and come home to their bodies. If you have tried talk therapy, and want something deeper, reach out.
