Sam Welsh

Comforting. Nurturing. Supportive.
The moment you sit down with Sam, you’ll notice her presence and warmth. Sam really listens to understand which will help you feel so seen and heard. She has such a gentle way of exploring your concerns, helping you see new perspectives and ways to address your struggles. Sam’s goal is always that you feel comfortable coming to her with anything and everything, knowing that she’s a trusted place with no judgement. 
Sam’s counselling philosophy centres around the understanding that many of our wounds happen because we are alone in our pain and suffering. When something traumatic happens, being alone during and after the event can create very deep wounds, and Sam’s priority is making sure that you are no longer alone through your struggles. As such, Sam takes a strong attachment lens in her work and centres the counselling relationship to help you heal.  
Sam’s focuses her practice on supporting folks through traumatic grief. This could mean experiencing a deep grief that feels like it isn’t shifting with time, a really sudden and unexpected grief or losses along the perinatal spectrum, such as infertility or child loss. 
For many, these struggles can leave them feeling stuck, inadequate, overwhelmed, and shutdown. Sam has specialized training in helping you navigate an experience that can be traumatizing and isolating, in a way that helps you know that you are in control at all times.  She's here to help you process in a way that is truly judgement-free. 
Sam provides both individual counselling and relationship/couples counselling in a way that is empowering, non-judgemental and recognizes that everyone is always doing the best they can, with what they have going on. Sam doesn't see your struggles as problems to be fixed, but rather as experiences to be navigated. Reach out today to book a session with Sam.
