Sheree Sams, PACFA

Sheree Sams is a warm and compassionate counsellor who helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem and big life changes. She brings a calm, non-judgemental presence and aims to make starting therapy feel manageable and human.

Sheree has 16 years of experience working across schools, hospitals, community welfare and private practice. She describes her style as nurturing and creative, and she often blends talk-based work with arts, music and movement when it suits the person in front of her. This approach can help access feelings that are hard to put into words.

Her work pays attention to how the body and brain connect, and she supports practical lifestyle steps alongside conversation. That can include simple movement, exercise suggestions and routines to help regulate the nervous system and reduce everyday overwhelm.

Sheree also supports people navigating neurodiversity, including Autism and ADHD, and those dealing with attachment or abandonment issues. She is interested in faith deconstruction and identity shifts, and in helping carers manage stress and find better balance.

Clients can expect a collaborative, down-to-earth process. Sheree aims to uncover strengths and build realistic coping tools so people feel steadier and more capable in daily life.

Approaches that translate well to online and creative work

Sheree uses evidence-based talk approaches alongside creative and body-focused elements. For example, Acceptance and Commitment style work helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values, which can reduce rumination and increase clarity about life choices. Psychotherapy and integrative arts methods use storytelling, drawing or music to access emotions that are hard to reach with words alone, helping people process grief, identity shifts and attachment wounds.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Sheree will discuss goals and preferences, and together with the client decide whether more talk-based sessions, creative exercises or simple movement practices will best support progress.

The profile does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow brief check-ins when needed. It can also allow creative tasks or movement practices to be explored in the person’s own environment, with planning for what will work best during sessions.
