Open to new clients.

I currently offer sessions Online and In-Person in Taunton, Somerset, on Thursdays and Fridays between 9am and 5pm. I have a small number of evening and Saturday morning appointments available on request. 

My name is Samantha, welcome to my counselling practice here at Ember Sky Therapy. In my practice I strive to create a safe place where your story will be heard, where warmth and comfort can be found, and where we can step out of the darkness and let the embers of hope light up the sky. 

I am deeply committed to supporting survivors of childhood trauma and abuse and have dedicated many years to researching and understanding the lasting emotional imprints these experiences leave. Trauma can affect every part of our lives, from relationships to self-worth and resilience, as well as impacting our physical and mental well-being. Having a compassionate space to process these effects can be a transformative step towards healing and reclaiming your sense of self.

In addition to my work with survivors, I have supported adults navigating mental health challenges through my experience with Mind, a national mental health charity. Mental health difficulties don’t exist in isolation—they can profoundly affect not only the individual but also the friends, family, and loved ones who stand beside them. I deeply value working with both those experiencing challenges first-hand and the people who offer them care and support

Over the years, I have helped clients facing a range of difficulties, from generalised anxiety and work-related stress to mental and physical health concerns. I have also worked with survivors of domestic abuse, childhood abuse, rape, and sexual assault. My focus is on helping you reconnect with yourself, build resilience, and rediscover the spark that brings meaning and vitality to your life.

If you’d like to explore how we might work together, please reach out to arrange a free introductory call. We can discuss your needs, address any questions you may have, and ensure that you feel comfortable and supported throughout this journey.

As an integrative therapist, I bring a compassionate, trauma-informed approach to our work together, tailoring therapeutic styles and techniques to meet your individual needs. My priority is to offer a safe, welcoming, and confidential space where you can share your story without fear of judgment and feel truly heard and supported.

Therapy is not just about addressing pain, it is also about reclaiming a sense of hope, exploring new possibilities, and working towards a life that feels more fulfilling and aligned with who you are.

Together, we will gently explore your experiences, emotions, and thoughts, finding approaches that resonate with you and provide a foundation for healing. We will discover the tools that empower you to navigate challenges and foster meaningful change in your life.

As a registered member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), I adhere to their ethical framework, ensuring that our work together takes place in a safe, confidential, and respectful space

I work from private therapy rooms in Taunton, Somerset offering both online and in-person sessions. Close to the town centre with parking nearby and easy access from Taunton and the surrounding areas. My therapy room is easily accessible for those with mobility challenges or who utilise a wheelchair. 

We can arrange a complimentary 20-minute telephone consultation before our first session, allowing us to determine if we are a good fit and explore how we can work together to build a path forward. 

I offer both long-term and short-term therapy, available face-to-face in Taunton and online via remote sessions. 

I can offer either weekly or fortnightly sessions.
