About Me

For as long as I can remember I have been interested in understanding the human mind…

Being born with cystic fibrosis, and thus given a rather short life expectancy, I carried a deep desire within me to make my life as joyful and as fulfilling as possible, and as quickly as possible.

Naturally this led me on a journey inwards and since 2011 I have been deeply committed to the process of gaining ever greater self awareness and understanding, for the purpose of learning how to truly thrive as a human being.

In 2020 this journey led me away from my concern with the activity of the mind, and into the body, and the realm of emotions.

Until this point I had been unconsciously repressing my emotions, before the grief of a relationship ending finally burst the barrel and it all came flooding out in quite spectacular fashion.

Since then I have been deeply immersed in a constant endeavour to process and integrate all that I had previously repressed, building an ever growing sense of wholeness and wellbeing within myself.

This has taken me on a beautifully painful journey through the farthest corners of my shame, self-hatred, worthlessness, anger, sadness and despair, along with all it her flavours of emotion available to us as humans.

The reward for this willingness to touch my deepest pain has been an experience of peace, joy and love far beyond anything I could have previously imagined possible.

I have also been afforded an ever greater understanding of myself and what I need in order to live a beautiful life, and personal growth and transformation on an extraordinary scale.

In 2024 I then trained with the Neo Emotional Release Institute, and became a somatic therapist in order to support others to go through a similarly transformational process within themselves. It is with this training, coupled with my own personal experience, that I bring to the world my offering: Space with Sam.

My intention is to help create the space you need to bring body and mind back into balance.

I offer this space with the conviction that our repressed emotions lie at the root of the vast majority of problems we face within ourselves, and also within the collective as a society.

I believe there is nothing more beneficial we can do for ourselves, for each other and for the world at large, than to face these emotions and process and integrate the lessons that they hold for us.

This all starts with creating a little space.

I'd never tried somatic therapy before but after lots of talking therapy wanted an approach that was more embodied. The sessions I had with Sam were really helpful for processing and releasing a lot of things that have been carried around for some time!

I went to see Sam as a bit of a sceptic about body based therapies, but looking for something that would help me with feeling more safe internally. I had sessions with him over 6 months and noticed a huge difference in my ability to sense what was going on in my body, accept my rapidly changing feelings and get a bit of space from them. I found Sam very supportive and accepting, respectful of my initial wariness and very flexible in his approach to the sessions. I would thoroughly recommend him to anyone who feels that talk based 'top down' therapy has only got them so far. And you don't have to be into energies and crystals and chakras to benefit ☺️

I valued my sessions with Sam. I’d never done anything like this before but was made to feel at ease from the first session and I particularly found the idea of connecting to the body really helpful and it has definitely had a positive impact. I learnt a lot about myself through the process and would recommend to anyone who’s considering an alternative to talking therapy.

This therapy was incredibly helpful to me in my life and I cannot recommend it highly enough. Sam expertly guides and hold the space which allowed me to really get to the root of issues and identify and move through things I was holding in my body. I got such clarity from the sessions and genuinely couldn't believe the breakthroughs I had. Trust the process and you won't find better than Sam

I partook in the 6 week emotional roadmap for men course with Sam and would thoroughly recommend to anyone. It’s such important information that I feel like we should be taught in school, but thankfully there are folks like Sam out here spreading the good word. I will miss our sessions, they were super insightful, challenging at times in a good way, rewarding and fun. Thank you Sam! Keep up the good work 🙂

I’ve just finished a 10-week course with Sam, and I genuinely feel like a whole new person. I started this journey carrying a lot of childhood trauma, which showed up in my adult life as chronic fatigue, a nervous system in shreds, constantly being stuck in a state of freeze, and struggling to speak or express myself freely. By the time I came to Sam, I felt like I had tried everything possible, so naturally I felt hopeless and wasn’t expecting miracles. I was scared of what to expect. However, from the very first session, Sam made me feel heard, understood, and completely safe to open up. Before working with Sam, I felt massively disconnected from my body. Even after the first few sessions, I began experiencing huge emotional releases. At times, it was difficult to deal with the emotions that arose, but Sam’s grounded, compassionate guidance helped me create safety and trust within myself, allowing me to process whatever needed to surface. One of the biggest breakthroughs was uncovering the root cause of my chronic fatigue, which had been a debilitating part of my everyday life for years. Through Sam’s support and insight, I’ve gone from spending my days off stuck in bed to actually enjoying my life again. After every session, I felt lighter, calmer, and more at ease. Sam has helped me build a deeper sense of self-acceptance and self-love, which has naturally radiated out to others and allowed me to form stronger, more meaningful connections with others. The only thing I regret is not doing this sooner. Thank you so much, Sam.

I’ve had a truly wonderful experience with Sam. My partner booked the session for me and since I wasn’t familiar with Sam’s work, I didn’t know what to expect. From the moment we began, Sam’s grounding presence made me feel instantly safe and at ease. We started with a conversation about my intentions for the session and then moved into the emotional release work. Sam created a beautiful, safe space and guided me into my body, helping me connect with my emotions on a somatic level. I was able to let feelings move through me, release blockages, and arrive at a place of groundedness, presence, and clarity. I left the session feeling lighter and more at ease within myself. We spend so much of our lives in our minds - rationalising, overthinking, and suppressing what the body is trying to express. Sam's somatic therapy allows you to beautifully connect to the wisdom that is inherent in your body. I’d highly recommend it to anyone wanting a deeper connection with themselves and experience of more ease, clarity and joy.

Had an awesome experience with Sam. I’ve never done anything like this before so felt quite strange about it. However, Sam made me feel very comfortable and he was an excellent practitioner in every way. He guided me into a state of relaxation and calm that I’ve never felt before. And the euphoria at the end was glorious too. I’d highly recommend giving this a go! It would work for anyone.

After finding myself feeling tired and worn down with being in a constant state of physical pain, thinking resilience meant just always having to push through with a smile on my face, I woke up one day realizing that I no longer wanted to accept this situation as my daily reality and permanent future. I decided it was time to venture away from the familiar and start tuning in to what my mind, body and soul were really trying to tell me. I was so happy when I found out about “Space with Sam”. I had never heard of neo-emotional release, but it peaked my interest enough to (although nervous) reach out to Sam, whom I found to be highly knowledgeable, skilled, welcoming and patient. Sam’s session helped me make sense of what was happening in my body through both talking and stillness, creating a safe, calm, trusting and non judgmental environment to facilitate the release of the waves of emotion and physical tension that soon were to pass through me. Some were huge, some were small, but no matter how vulnerable, puzzling and raw it felt at times, by trusting Sam’s reassuring presence and subtle guidance it allowed me to breathe, to become more self aware and present, letting my body do whatever it needed to enable healing to take place. I guess being strong doesn’t always mean having to hold it together, letting go takes strength and courage too. Thanks Sam for riding the storm with me, I slept like a baby and woke up feeling so much lighter. I know there is more to connect to and let go of, and I look forward to being able to safely explore that with your very helpful sessions!

Wow! Is the only word to describe this experience. Sam is warm, welcoming, compassionate and knowledgeable. He has a calmness that puts you at ease, providing you a safe space to find space for yourself. Went in with horrendous hip and back pain, left with none and a newfound sense of peace. I thought I was going to have to go to physiotherapy but apparently all I needed was time with Sam. My Garmin loved the session too! I slept for hours afterwards and all night long. All health stats on my Garmin were fantastic for the first time! If that’s not more evidence of the benefits then I don’t know what is! Thank you Sam 🙏
