Samantha Vidler

TRAUMA THERAPIST / AMHSW

My aim is to create a warm and compassionate space where you feel heard and empowered with knowledge and strategies to make meaningful, lasting change.
 
I’m an Accredited Mental Health Social Worker (Medicare-registered) and Trauma Therapist with over 20 years of clinical experience. Throughout my career I’ve also worked as a clinical supervisor, educator and facilitator, with a particular passion for supporting adults to heal from trauma and adversity.
 
My approach is trauma-informed, strengths-based and grounded in the belief that you are not broken. Together, we’ll explore how your experiences influence your nervous system, emotions, relationships and sense of self, while building on the strengths and resilience that have helped you get this far.
 
I tailor therapy to your needs, integrating evidence-based approaches including EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing), IFS (Internal Family Systems/parts work), SP (Somatic Psychotherapy), attachment-informed practice and IPT (Interpersonal Psychotherapy).
 
I have extensive experience supporting adults impacted by PTSD, complex trauma, anxiety, depression, burnout and relationship difficulties. Clients often tell me they appreciate that I balance professionalism with warmth and authenticity, creating a space where healing feels both safe and hopeful.
