“Everyone needs a Sammy in their lives”

  • “Sammy has an incredible ability to listen and make me think with fresh perspectives. She has a calm, warm energy and I always felt safe with her - and that I could be truly open in our sessions. I genuinely feel wiser about myself and my patterns of behaviour - and better equipped to navigate how I show up - as a result of them.”

  • “It’s actually quite hard to convey just how brilliant Sammy is … she has always been a tremendous support to me and my family. She is warm, funny, wise, intuitive, and she has an incredible ability to draw even the most shy of souls out. She brings a wealth of experience and insights, and it is abundantly clear that her heart is to see every young person flourish. Sammy's energy, sense of fun and inquisitiveness make her a natural child magnet, and my children all adore her. In short, I think everyone could do with a Sammy in their lives.“

  • “Sammy is the Child Whisperer- her abundance of wisdom and expertise she has to offer is consistently reflected in the way she supports those around her, applying all the tools in her kit appropriately to meet the needs of other… her passion for young people and healthy relationships continues to inspire me to this day.”

  • “So much to say, for now—deep appreciation for your expertise, professionalism, kindness and knowing. It’s already making the world of difference”

  • “C really enjoyed your first session and felt a connection with you. She has been telling me about shoulder tapping and her unconscious today on a walk. I’m not sure how you managed it, but she came home resolved to go to school tomorrow, she also did all of her homework without any drama”

  • I really enjoyed the first session, it's incredible what another perspective can do to your thinking and outlook! As I was doing homework with my eldest son yesterday evening (which I usually find stressful and try to rush through), he said 'THIS is how I like you, so calm, Mummy'.

  • We truly found it so helpful, and we could see ourselves putting your tools into use and it already made a massive difference in creating a much calmer and communicative setting. Looking forward to taking our husbands through it also.

  • “Every family needs a Sammy. We reached out at a true crisis point, navigating our teenage daughter’s debilitating phobia, a late neurodiversity diagnosis, and the profound exhaustion of years of masking. Sammy didn’t make grand promises, but the impact was immediate. Through gentle yet powerful weekly online sessions, Sammy helped our daughter build a completely new toolkit for managing intense emotional dysregulation. After just one term, we are watching our daughter 'emerge'—she now has simple, effective ways to understand and handle her big feelings, and has made huge strides forward in confidence and her responses to the world around her. Crucially, the sessions Sammy held for us as parents were an absolute game-changer; they provided the support we didn’t realise we were missing, providing the clarity we were seeking but hadn't found, and gave us hope. The level of reflection provided to us after each session has been hugely helpful—a true 'one-team' approach with joined-up thinking at every step. Sammy hasn’t just taught new skills; she’s leading us all toward a different path entirely. 'Thank you' truly isn’t enough.”

  • Friendly, reassuring, empathetic and it was clear that you were the right choice by the end of the first session. You were quick to grasp the situation and offer useful practical advice. You also came across as caring about our son, as well as about us and how we were getting on. This showed us that your methods were holistic, in that they addressed the problem, offered solutions, but in a way that should see benefits for all of us in our family. Sammy was able to quickly understand our situation, what we were not getting right, as parents in this context, and offer a really excellent toolkit of practical solutions which we are able to apply daily, and is making our family life happier. I cannot fault Sammy’s method. In the time frame that we had, I think we learnt a great deal, and took away concrete practical solutions, which was key to our aspirations before we started. Because I learnt so much, I did feel sad that we had to finish sessions, as face to face human discussion really helps our resilience in staying on top of this situation. I can honestly say that the cost of the sessions is entirely justified for the potentially significant outcomes that they will achieve. The refrain ‘you get what you pay for’ is met with Sammy.

  • I joined Sammy’s 6-week parenting class without much expectation other than a desire to learn something new. Our weekly sessions quickly became my favourite mornings of the week. I left every session feeling enlightened, recharged, and better equipped to be the kind of parent I strive to be. The techniques I’ve learned for connecting with my children when they are struggling have made a real difference in our family life. If you have the opportunity to join one of her courses, DO. “Because I knew you, I have been changed for good.” Thank you, Sammy

  • Thank you so much for such an insightful group of sessions, Sammy! I have so enjoyed them. For the group of ladies, for the safe space but above all, for your material. A small shift in realisation can really do so much.

    ZB, Barnes,

  • Honestly such a wonderful educational experience and also very grounding especially as a Mum/person who tends to over analyses/thinks everything! I have so enjoyed the last couple of months. Thank you

    JD, Barnes

  • Loved it! Sammy, you’re so calm, warm and welcoming and easy to talk to. It’s incredibly common as a Mum to feel judged for your parenting styles but didn’t ever feel like that with you. I appreciated you sharing your own stories and vulnerabilities with us, as it felt you really understood how hard it can be sometimes, and it was so nice to have someone genuinely empathise.

  • “Can I see Sammy again so she can make me brave for my speech”

  • “R used to be too shy to go into parties on her own, even when she knew everyone. After 5 sessions with Sammy she now she walks in like nothing ever happened“
