I’m Samantha, a qualified Humanistic Existential Counsellor and a Trauma-Informed Practitioner from Barry in South Wales.

My work is grounded in the belief that each person holds the potential for growth, change, and a deeper understanding of themselves, even in the most difficult of times.

Counselling is not about fixing or giving answers—it’s about connection, reflection, and building the confidence to navigate life on your own terms. My role is to listen, support, and accompany you in that process.

Counselling is available for adults 18+. This can take place on the phone or an online video session. Or in-person counselling takes place in a calm setting, face-to-face across locations such as Barry, Cardiff and Swansea in South Wales.

If you are unsure where to start, please get in touch.
