Samantha Reidie

I am a Humanistic Integrative counsellor and Somatic practitioner, which means I combine a number of different modalities in the way I work. 

I offer both in person and online sessions.

I work with women and couples navigating fertility, pregnancy, birth trauma, and early parenthood & postpartum. As a Humanistic Integrative Counsellor and Somatic Practitioner, I combine talking therapy with body-based approaches. I offer a space to slow down, make sense of your experience, and reconnect with yourself.

It’s common for women and couples to feel alone, overwhelmed, or unsure of how to cope during fertility challenges, pregnancy, and early parenthood. If this is your experience, I offer a space to talk, reflect, and begin to make sense of what you’re going through. 

You’re welcome to reach out.

Individual therapy- £70

Couples therapy- £95

Are you a new mother feeling disconnected from yourself, your body, or your sense of identity?

Perhaps your birth experience felt overwhelming, traumatic, or not as you had hoped. You might be navigating intrusive thoughts, anxiety, or a sense of not feeling safe or settled within yourself. With so much advice and expectation around you, it can be hard to hear your own voice.

You may recognise yourself in some of the following:

• feeling disconnected from your body or unsure how to relate to it after birth
• experiencing intrusive thoughts or anxiety
• struggling to process a difficult or overwhelming birth experience
• feeling lost in your identity since becoming a mother
• finding it hard to tune into your own needs amongst others’ expectations

I specialise in supporting mothers through this complex and often unsupported transition. Together, we create a space where you can slow down, feel heard, and begin to reconnect with yourself.

Everything you bring is welcome.

Since becoming a mother myself, I have a deep respect for the impact this time can have on your body, mind, and sense of self. I understand how much you may be holding, often without the support you need.

Whether you are 6 weeks, 6 months, or 6 years into motherhood, I offer a space where you can be heard and supported.

I am a Humanistic Integrative counsellor and Somatic practitioner, which means I combine a number of different modalities in the way I work. 

I offer both in person and online sessions.

My approach combines talking therapy with body awareness (somatic work). This means we don’t just focus on your thoughts, but also on what is happening in your body.

In our work together, you can begin to understand your experiences more deeply to find a way back to your intuition and true self and build a more trusting relationship with yourself.

Are you a couple navigating the impact of parenthood on your relationship?

Conversations that once felt easy may now lead to tension or misunderstanding. Disagreements can escalate quickly, leaving you both feeling unheard.

Perhaps you are finding yourselves in conflict around sharing the load, a loss of intimacy, or differences in how you approach parenting. One of you may feel overwhelmed, while the other feels shut out or alone.

Parenthood reshapes a relationship. That doesn’t mean something is broken—it means something has changed.

I work with couples to navigate this transition, offering a space where you can both slow things down, feel heard, and begin to understand each other more deeply. Together, we can explore what’s happening beneath the surface and find ways to reconnect.

I am a Humanistic Integrative counsellor and Somatic practitioner, which means I combine a number of different modalities in the way I work. I offer both in person and online sessions.

My role is to provide a safe, neutral space where you can communicate openly with each other and explore the challenges in your relationship in a way that allows you to both feel heard and understood.

I can support you with the issues impacting your relationship which may include:

Communication that feels reactive or defensive

Feeling more like co-managers than partners

Constant practical conversations, no emotional connection

Different parenting approaches creating conflict

Loss of intimacy 

Feeling unseen, unappreciated, or misunderstood

Are you feeling overwhelmed on your journey to motherhood?

Perhaps you are emotionally exhausted from trying to conceive or experiencing the devastation of miscarriage.

You may be pregnant and dealing with anxiety or racing thoughts.

Early motherhood can feel isolating, leaving you disconnected or unsure of who you are.

You might be carrying the impact of birth trauma or noticing distance in your relationship since your baby arrived.

You’re not alone. I support women—and couples—through these profound life transitions.
