Samara Wall
Hello, I’m Samara.
I am an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker with over 20 years of experience supporting children, young people, adults and families through some of life’s most challenging experiences.
My passion is helping people feel heard, understood and supported as they work towards meaningful change.
I have experience working with:
• Trauma and complex trauma
• Family violence recovery
• Child and adolescent mental health
• Foster care and kinship care
• Parenting support
• ADHD and Autism
• Anxiety and emotional regulation
• Grief and loss
• Relationship difficulties
• LGBTQIA+ affirming practice
My Approach
I believe healing happens through safe relationships, curiosity, compassion and connection.
I aim to create a welcoming and non-judgemental environment where people can explore their experiences, develop practical strategies, and build confidence in themselves and their future.
No two people are the same, which is why I tailor support to each person’s unique needs, strengths and goals.
