Samantha Smith

My practise is called - Future You Counselling - because our sessions will be focused on creating the best future for your mental health.

I strive to create a meaningful connection and develop a deep understanding of you as an individual. I want to know who you are and how we can work together to empower YOU. Our online sessions together will be empathy-based and focused on your needs and goals. Our aim is to unpack past experiences, unhelpful thought patterns, overcome challenges, shift perspective, and promote personal growth.

I fiercely advocate for my clients and strongly believe everyone deserves to have affordable and exceptional mental healthcare. I work with clients suffering with a broad range of psychological challenges, both adults and teenagers. Our first session will involve exploring the main areas causing you distress. This will give me a good idea of how we can address whats bothering you. You are the expert of your own life, so with your collaboration, our aim will be to relieve you of unpleasant symptoms and boost your overall mental wellbeing.
