New Start Counselling and Psychotherapy
Welcome to New Start Counselling and Psychotherapy
Struggling through a challenging change or situation in your life? If so, you are in the right place.
I specialise in empowering women who are parenting through the challenging teen years and those navigating the complexities of a MS (Multiple Sclerosis) diagnosis.
Let's turn roadblocks into stepping stones together.
​
I understand how overwhelming and lonely it can feel but I want you to know—you are not alone.
Let's navigate your roadblocks together, let's get you back on track and empower you to thrive. I'm here to understand your unique journey and create a safe space where you can express yourself freely.
Drawing from my personal experience, I specialise in guiding women through life's challenges with empathy and understanding.
​
Specialisations

Empowering women (aged 14 and up) to embrace their true selves and lead joyful, meaningful lives.

As someone with MS (Multiple Sclerosis) herself I specialise in supporting other women with diagnoses like MS (Multiple Sclerosis).

My Counselling Approach
Unlock Your Strength: Are you seeking a counsellor who truly understands and values you as an individual? Look no further. At New Start Counselling and Psychotherapy, I offer more than just therapy—I offer a genuine connection built on empathy, authenticity, kindness, and compassion.
​
Tailored Support, Tailored Solutions: As a woman navigating life's challenges, you deserve a safe space where you can be authentically you. My approach isn't about fitting you into a preconceived mold; it's about empowering you to embrace your unique strengths and navigate life's twists and turns with confidence.
​
Your Experience Matters: Your journey matters deeply to me. As a qualified and accredited Counsellor, I prioritise your unique perspective, values, and needs. I understand that the standard "one size fits all" approach rarely works because each of us has our own story to tell.
​
When you step into my Counselling space, you're not just another client. I've intentionally moved away from the clinical setting to create a comfortable, welcoming, and authentic space where you can feel truly heard and understood.
​
Tailored Approach: I believe in putting you in control of your healing journey. Whether you're seeking empathetic understanding, authentic connection, or kindness and compassion, I'm here to support you every step of the way.
​
Your Journey Starts Here: Together, we'll embark on a journey of self-discovery and growth, unlocking your inner strength and empowering you to thrive in every aspect of your life. Take the first step toward a brighter tomorrow—book your session today.

About Me
Welcome to New Start Counselling and Psychotherapy! I'm Samantha, but you can call me Sam, and I'm here to be your guide on the journey to mental health and well-being.
​
As a dedicated Counsellor, motivational speaker, and author, I'm fueled by a passion for empowering people to navigate life's challenges with resilience and strength. At New Start Counselling, I believe in creating a space where you feel not just heard, but truly understood.
​
Whether you're seeking support for mental health concerns, looking for inspiration through my motivational speaking, you're in the right place. Together, let's embark on a journey of self-discovery, growth, and transformation.
​
Welcome aboard – your new beginning starts here.
THE VALUE OF LIVED EXPERIENCE
I want to share something close to my heart: our experiences shape us in ways we often underestimate. It's the connections we forge and the wisdom we gain that truly build our strength and reveal our essence. I'm a firm believer that when we open up, learn from each other, and embrace our journeys, we pave the way for a brighter tomorrow filled with hope and resilience.
​
In my practice, I'm all about breaking free from the conventional mold of counselling and therapy. Instead, I'm passionate about fostering inclusivity and empowering individuals to take charge of their own growth. Life's diversity and unpredictability offer far more valuable lessons than any classroom could contain.
​
Let's embark on this journey together, celebrating the uniqueness of each experience and the strength we find in solidarity. Together, we'll redefine what it means to thrive and support each other every step of the way.
