Samantha “Sam” Munro is an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker with a Bachelor of Social Work and 24 years of clinical experience. She takes a holistic view of wellbeing, recognising that multiple aspects of a person’s life influence mental health and recovery.
Sam has provided therapeutic counselling across a range of settings, including work with young people in government care, child protection, employment coaching and broader mental health services. She has a particular interest and specialist experience supporting people who have experienced trauma, including domestic violence and sexual assault. Sam has also lived and worked in remote Aboriginal communities, an experience she describes as a privilege that continues to inform her practice.
She aims to co-design tailored therapeutic programmes with each person, identifying strengths and targets for change or growth, and creating a supportive space to work toward those goals. Sam offers interventions for issues such as anxiety, stress, bereavement, parenting and family concerns, violence and abuse, and anger management.
Her therapeutic approaches include Solution Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy for PTSD, Mindfulness Cognitive Therapy, Mindful Self-Compassion and Emotion Focused Therapy for processing emotions. Sam offers sessions from Friday to Sunday and does not provide evening appointments. Under special circumstances and subject to availability, she may consider an after-hours appointment on Monday or Tuesday upon request.
Many people ask whether online therapy can genuinely help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties or managing life changes, evidence shows that remote sessions can be as effective as in-person therapy for most people.
A major benefit of online work is flexibility - clients can choose the mode that suits them best, whether that is video calls, phone sessions, live chat or in-app messaging. This flexibility often makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and maintain continuity of care.
All participating therapists are licensed professionals, and if someone finds they need a different match they can switch therapists. Online therapy offers an accessible way to engage with skilled practitioners and work on everyday mental health concerns from wherever is most convenient.
