Empowering individuals through healing, growth, and personal development
Hello
I'm Samantha Green,
a Counsellor and Play Therapist with a passion for enhancing the wellbeing of children, teens, adults and families.
Childhood experiences lay the foundations for one's life, highlighting the importance of early intervention for children who are facing social, emotional and behavioural challenges. Helping children realise their potential involves helping them overcome these challenges, process and make sense of thoughts, feelings, traumas, experiences and life changes. In my work with children, I aim to help them learn, heal, grow, build resilience and develop skills to help them cope better with their future.
​
Counselling is a supportive and confidential process that helps individuals explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences in a safe and non-judgmental space. Through counselling I aim to provide a place for individuals to talk openly about challenges, gain insights, and develop healthy ways to cope, grow, and make positive changes in their lives.
