my services

I specialise in supporting women experiencing:

Birth Trauma: Emotional and physical effects of a distressing or traumatic birth
Postnatal Anxiety: Deep worry, fear, or feeling unsafe after birth
Clinical Negligence: Trauma resulting from inadequate or harmful medical care during labour or birth
PTSD: Intrusive memories, flashbacks, or avoidance following a specific traumatic event
Complex PTSD (cPTSD): Ongoing emotional distress from repeated or long-term trauma
Anxiety & Depression: Persistent feelings of fear, sadness, or disconnection
Overwhelm: When even small tasks feel too much, reflecting a nervous system in need of care

As a trauma practitioner I am trained with the ability to recognise the impact traumatic events have on the whole individual, and most importantly why.

Trauma therapy is designed to target the emotional, physical, and neurological impact of a traumatic experience.

what to expect

The key to healing trauma is to understand it

When we experience a traumatic event, the nervous system becomes overwhelmed. To cope, the brain bypasses the regions responsible for language and rational thinking and puts the body into survival mode.

This protective response, however, can disrupt the processing and integration of the event, causing traumatic memories to fragment, preventing the brain from storing them as something that happened in the past.

As a result the body becomes stuck in survival mode instead of releasing from it, unable to move on from the experience at all.

stages of working with trauma

As a trauma therapist I am trained with the ability to recognise the impact traumatic events have on the whole individual, and most importantly why.

Trauma therapy is designed to target the emotional, physical, and neurological impact of a traumatic experience.

Whilst every therapeutic journey is unique, trauma work often involves three interconnected stages; stabilisation, reprocessing and integration.

Together, we will work to regulate your nervous system and allow the brain to reprocess and integrate the experience without becoming overwhelmed. As your therapist I will hold whatever comes up as a result.

The aim is not to erase the past, but to help you hold the experience differently, transforming painful memories into manageable ones and enabling them to become part of your story without continuing to control or define your life.

Your therapy, your pace

There is no one size fits all approach to therapy.

My practice is designed to offer flexibility and allow you to access sessions in a way that fits around your life and individual needs.

choose the frequency of sessions that feels right for you

Following your initial consultation, the frequency and duration of our sessions are entirely your choice.

Every woman is different. Some clients choose just a few sessions to process and make sense of their birth experience, while others continue for a deeper therapeutic journey.

There are no prescribed number of sessions and no expectation to commit beyond what feels useful for you.

I offer a service that allows you to access what you need, when you need it. You are the expert in your lived experience, and I am here to support you.

'Samantha manages to create such a safe space and has a gift for lovingly listening whilst pulling on threads that I find myself surprised at what comes up and always relieved and uplifted when I walk away. She has so many tools and techniques and delivers them so carefully and skilfully you can't help but feel better than when you turned up. Thank you for sharing your gift with the world during these uncertain times, I can’t imagine not ever having your sessions to help me navigate it.'

‘It’s a powerful thing to feel held when you feel lost. The techniques Samantha uses to really process the trauma and then to be able to hold what comes up are another level. I can talk about what happened to me now without collapsing. I would say to any mama to please go and be held by her.’
