Experience

From delivering residential addiction treatment programmes in psychiatric hospitals to an outpatient programme for a charitable organisation. Samantha’s experience encompasses a broad range of clients, including individuals, couples, LGBTQ, families and significant others, offenders, ex-offenders, the homeless, corporations, schools and the American military.

Samantha understands the complex interplay of psychological, emotional, behavioural, and social aspects of addiction, approaching addiction therapy holistically by addressing every aspect of each individual’s experience. She works collaboratively with those suffering from addiction, creating a treatment plan around the needs of the individual, identifying triggers, enabling the individual to develop healthier coping skills and increasing their self-esteem.

Samantha draws from a range of techniques, including 12-step facilitation, relapse prevention and harm reduction strategies to uncover the root causes of addictive behaviours, enable those who suffer to develop healthier coping mechanisms, and foster resilience. The importance of addiction therapy in recovery cannot be overstated, and by addressing both symptoms and underlying causes, Samantha helps people break free from the cycle of addiction and empowers them to lead healthier, more fulfilling lives. Samantha provides a structured and supportive environment where individuals can gain insight into their addiction, build a strong foundation for long-term sobriety, and reclaim control over their addiction.

Addiction doesn’t just affect the individual; it ripples through relationships, impacting partners, friends, children, parents, and colleagues. Samantha emphasises the importance of involving loved ones in the healing process. She helps navigate through difficult emotions and thoughts, fostering awareness and acceptance as key pillars of recovery. Recovery is not just about abstaining from substances or behaviours; it is about rediscovering oneself and rebuilding relationships. Samantha offers support, free from judgement as you navigate your addiction therapy journey.
