Helping individuals and families reconnect, heal, and thrive beyond substance use.
At Attuned Life, I provide trauma-informed support for individuals and families affected by substance use. My work is centred on helping people reconnect with themselves, rebuild relationships, and move forward in a way that feels safe, empowering, and sustainable.
Substance use can often create a deep sense of disconnection—from ourselves, from others, and from the life we want to live. Through compassionate, tailored support, I help you become more attuned to your thoughts, emotions, and experiences, supporting meaningful recovery and long-term healing.
With over 20 years of experience across social care, mental health, safeguarding, and substance use services, I bring a depth of understanding to the challenges individuals, parents, and families face. Whether you are navigating recovery, supporting a loved one, or looking to strengthen parenting and relationships, Attuned Life offers a space to heal, grow, and rediscover your authentic self.

About Me
Hi, I am Sam and I am an Independent Practitioner offering compassionate, trauma-informed and attachment-focused support for individuals and families affected by substance use. My approach goes beyond traditional models, recognising that addiction is often rooted in deeper emotional pain and disconnection.I work holistically—supporting you to reconnect with yourself, understand your experiences, and create meaningful, lasting change. With over 20 years of experience across Children’s and Adult Services, including mental health, substance use, and safeguarding, I bring depth, professionalism, and a strong foundation of safety to my work. You will be met with a calm, non-judgemental presence, where your experiences are respected and your pace is honoured. My work is grounded in compassion, authenticity, and a genuine commitment to your healing and growth.Whether you are seeking support for yourself, your family, or your organisation, Attuned Life offers a space where you can begin to reconnect, rebuild, and move forward.
Alongside my professional experience, I bring a personal understanding to this work. I am a mother of three, and I have lived experience of supporting loved ones affected by substance use. This gives me a deeper empathy for the complexities, emotions, and challenges that individuals and families can face.
Outside of my work, I am passionate about living in a way that supports wellbeing and balance. I value exercise, nourishing my body through healthy eating, and living as naturally as possible. I find great importance in slowing down and appreciating the simple things in life. Spending time outdoors, particularly in nature, plays a key role in helping me regulate, manage stress, and stay grounded—something I also gently encourage within the work I do with others.
How I work
With experience across numerous social care settings, including mental health, drug and alcohol services, adult services, and children’s services, my work is deeply rooted in trauma-informed practice. Throughout my career, I have focused on understanding human development, attachment, and the lasting impact of trauma on individuals and families. I am an accredited Drug and Alcohol Professional with Addiction Professionals (formerly FDAP) and trained in trauma therapy, bringing both professional credibility and depth to the support I offer.
My approach goes beyond surface-level behaviours. Together, we explore what sits beneath—gently understanding where patterns come from and how past experiences may still be shaping the present. I support you to understand the connection between the body and the brain, including how trauma is experienced, processed, and often held within the body.
I offer a flexible and relational way of working, outside of traditional clinical settings. Support can take place online, over the phone, or in person within the community—whether that’s a relaxed coffee shop, a walk in the park, or the comfort and safety of your own home. The focus is always on creating a space where you feel at ease, supported, and able to engage in a way that feels right for you.
