About Me

Life can feel overwhelming. I’ve been there.

Many young people and athletes struggle with anxiety, low confidence, pressure, performing & enjoying sport, dealing with change or managing difficult emotions.

I provide a safe, supportive space for teens, young adults and athletes to help them:

  • Reduce anxiety, worry and over-thinking.

  • Build confidence and self-belief.

  • Improve focus, motivation and resilience.

  • Navigate stress, injuries, big changes or everyday life.

  • Improve performance, mindset and well-being.

Testimonials

  • “Absolutely blown away with how well this worked for me… half the time I didn’t even feel like I was in therapy—I felt like I was chatting to a mate. It has honestly changed my life.”

    S, 24.

  • "She's doing really well! She's just had a her trials and she's really pleased with how it went. A huge change... I'm actually amazed at the difference, to think where we were two weeks ago!"

    Parent of B, 14.

  • "Working with Sam has been a major positive for me this season. I would encourage other athletes to do the same!

    R, 22.

  • "I just wanted to say thank you! I asked him to do the exercise from your session and within 5 seconds she calmed right down! I've never been able to do that with the kids... absolute game changer!"

    Parent of W, 9.

  • A lot has been going on but I'm functioning and dealing with it all really well! I'm able to handle adversity so well at the moment and deal with the emotions that come with it!

    K, 26.

  • Sam worked with our son over three sessions to support his self confidence. The impact was immediate. Since those sessions, he's noticeably calmer in high-pressure situations and far more confident in trusting his own ability - not just in sport, but in everything he does.

    Parent of M, 13

My Approach

I believe therapy should be tailored to YOU as an individual.

Therefore, I combine evidence-based techniques with a person-centred approach where we can talk openly, while developing practical tools that actually work.

  • Integrative talk-therapies such as (Cognitive Hypnotherapy, CBT)

  • Solution-Focused Therapy.

  • Neurolinguistic Programming. (NLP)

  • Somatic Therapies.

I’ve found by exploring the patterns beneath our thoughts, emotions and behaviours and resolving any underlying causes, we can understand what’s been holding you back AND create a lasting change that supports long-term growth.
