About Sheree

Sheree Sams is a PACFA practitioner with 16 years of experience in schools, hospitals, community welfare and private practice in Australia. She works with adults who are managing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, life changes and ADHD. She also listed blended family issues among her focus areas and helps people dealing with stepfamily pressures and changing household roles.

Her background includes clinical supervision using the Step-Up Model and mentoring other therapists and health professionals. She brings together talk-based approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and broader psychotherapy with creative practices from integrative arts therapy. That can mean using music, drawing or movement alongside conversation.

Sessions may include simple practical tools for nervous system regulation. She sometimes suggests movement, exercise or lifestyle adjustments to support coping and everyday functioning. The emphasis is on concrete strategies people can try between sessions.

Sheree states she works with neurodivergent clients, including people on the autism spectrum and those with ADHD, and she supports people navigating parenting challenges and identity shifts such as faith deconstruction or religious trauma. She also lists caregiver stress, chronic illness and body image among other concerns she addresses.

Her language of practice is English and she sees clients in Australia. The service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Sheree uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in many sessions. ACT focuses on noticing thoughts and values-led action, and it can help with anxiety, stress and coping with life changes. She also uses integrative arts therapy, bringing music, drawing or movement into sessions to access feelings that words alone may not reach.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sheree treats approach selection as a collaborative process and will discuss options with clients based on their goals, needs and preferences. Together they try methods and adjust them if something does not fit.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and let people use creative tools from their own environment. For practical reasons such as quieter surroundings or reduced travel time, many people find online sessions help them maintain continuity of care while managing daily responsibilities.
