About Sheree

Sheree Sams is a PACFA counsellor with 16 years of experience working across schools, hospitals, community welfare and private practice. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, coping with life changes and ADHD, and offers practical support for everyday pressures.

Her background includes mentoring other therapists as a clinical supervisor under the Step-Up Model. She has experience supporting carers and people managing work-life balance, and draws on that experience when clients are feeling overwhelmed by role demands or ongoing stress.

Sheree uses evidence-based talk therapies alongside creative methods. She brings arts, music and movement into sessions when that helps a person express things words do not reach. She also looks at lifestyle elements such as exercise and routines to help nervous system regulation.

She is comfortable working with neurodivergent clients, including people with autism and ADHD, and with those navigating faith changes or religious trauma. Sheree also helps people untangle attachment or abandonment concerns and address relationship communication issues on an individual basis.

Sessions are practical and paced to each person. Expect a mix of conversation, creative activity and simple behaviour changes to try between meetings. People often come for help after a transition, during chronic stress, or when their sense of self-worth needs rebuilding.

How therapeutic approaches meet online sessions

Sheree works with evidence-based talk therapies alongside creative and body-oriented methods. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying values and taking committed action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present; it can help with anxiety, stress and low motivation. Integrative psychotherapy-style work combines talking with arts or movement to access feelings that are harder to reach through words alone, useful for grief, identity shifts and attachment concerns.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Sheree discusses options with each person and adjusts methods based on their goals, comfort level and how they respond in early sessions. Together they try small changes and check what helps most.

The therapist's biography did not specify session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Many people find remote sessions make it easier to fit therapy around study or work, allow for shorter check-ins on busy days, or let creative activities be shared in ways that suit the client. If you need a particular setup or have questions about how a creative element would work online, raise it when you schedule the first meeting.
