Hi, I’m Sammy.
I am a Counsellor and previous Full Service Sex Worker. I provide a therapeutic space for sex workers that is built on evidence based clinical interventions and a deeply person centred philosophy.
My Process
I take an integrative approach, which means I don’t force your story into a single rigid framework. Instead, I draw from a toolkit of evidence-based interventions to create a plan that is tailored to you and where you want to go. I balance broad psychodynamic exploration with practical, actionable strategies. Here are some examples of some approaches I draw on;
Gestalt Therapy: We focus on the "here and now," helping you become more aware of how you experience emotions in your body and mind in the present moment.
CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy): We’ll identify and reframe the thought patterns that keep you stuck, helping you shift your perspective and your reactions.
Psychodynamic Therapy: We explore the unconscious, your childhood experiences and internal conflicts that make sense of who you are today
Family Systems: We explore the "invisible threads" of your upbringing and relationships, understanding how your family dynamics have shaped your current worldview.
"The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change." — Carl Rogers
Views on Sex Work
II believe that sex work is work and that the safety and well-being of those in the industry are frequently compromised by the systemic impacts of stigma, discrimination, and violence. My practice is dedicated to dismantling these barriers by providing professional, rights-based support that honors the dignity and agency of every worker.
Lasting impact
My approach to counselling focuses on empowering you to bridge the gap between where you are and where you want to be, facilitating deep, sustainable growth.
