About Sheree

Sheree Sams is a PACFA practitioner with 16 years of experience in schools, hospitals, community welfare and private practice. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, coping with life changes and ADHD. Sessions are suited to people who recognise old family patterns are still shaping their choices and reactions.

Sheree uses evidence-based talk therapies alongside creative methods. She combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and integrative psychotherapy ideas with arts, music and movement when clients want that. Those creative elements can help express feelings that are hard to put into words and reveal strengths that might be overlooked.

She also pays attention to body-mind connections and nervous system regulation. Practical lifestyle changes, simple movement or exercise and grounding activities are options she may suggest to reduce overwhelm. Sheree has experience supporting people who are neurodivergent, including those with Autism and ADHD, and she addresses attachment and abandonment concerns when these come up.

Her background includes mentoring other therapists through the Step-Up Model as a clinical supervisor. That experience informs how she discusses clinical material and guides reflective work with adults. Sheree aims to help people untangle stress and anxiety and to build steadier day-to-day coping.

People considering sessions are encouraged to think about what they want to change in relationships and patterns from childhood. Booking starts by selecting the online therapy options button, completing a short matching questionnaire, then scheduling the first session. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.

Approach and how online sessions work

Sheree commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values rather than being driven by avoidance. ACT can be useful for anxiety, stress and shifting long-standing patterns linked to family of origin issues.

She also uses integrative psychotherapy principles alongside creative and somatic elements. Integrative work mixes talking therapies with arts, music or movement to reach feelings that words alone may not access, and to support nervous system regulation for those experiencing overwhelm.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Sheree collaborates with each person to identify what feels useful, adjusting the balance of talk, creative methods and practical lifestyle suggestions based on goals and preferences.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online delivery can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving or travel. It can also allow shorter check-ins or sessions without video when that better meets a person’s needs.
