Sheree SamsPACFA

Sheree Sams is a warm, caring counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief and major life changes. She works with adults who want to build self-esteem, manage ADHD challenges, or find steadier ways to cope day to day. Her tone is gentle and non-judgmental, aimed at making a first step feel possible for someone who is worried or overwhelmed.

Sheree draws on 16 years of experience in schools, hospitals, community welfare and private practice. She is recognised by PACFA and has worked with people across many settings. Her practice pays particular attention to self-care and the needs of carers, and she brings a supportive stance to practical life problems.

Her approach mixes evidence-based talk work with creative and body-centred tools. She uses elements from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and psychotherapy alongside expressive arts, music and movement when welcomed by the person in therapy. These options are used to help people name feelings, regulate the nervous system and access strengths that words alone may not reach.

Sheree also supports people navigating neurodivergence, faith deconstruction and major identity shifts. She likes to include lifestyle changes and movement to support nervous system regulation and everyday coping. Sessions focus on small, realistic steps people can use between meetings.

Sheree aims to meet people where they are and to help them feel less alone. She encourages curiosity about what might help most and works collaboratively to build a practical plan for change.

How therapeutic approaches translate online

Sheree commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in her work, which helps people identify what matters to them and take small actions aligned with those values. ACT often helps with anxiety, stress and decisions about life changes.

She also uses integrative psychotherapy and creative arts methods, bringing music, drawing or movement into sessions when helpful. These approaches can reveal emotions and resources that are hard to reach through talk alone and help with regulation and self-expression.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be decided collaboratively. The therapist will work with each person to match methods to their goals, needs and preferences, and adjust the plan as progress is made.

The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so please confirm available options before booking. Online work can make therapy easier to fit around daily life, for example by avoiding travel time, allowing shorter check-ins and helping sessions slot into a busy week. It can also let creative or movement-based elements be adapted to a person’s home routine, depending on what is agreed with the counsellor.
