Samantha Duroska
Hi, I am Sammy.
I am a Clinical Psychologist and have the privilege to work on Gumbaynggirr Country, on the beautiful Mid North Coast of Australia. I grew up in Germany and trained there to become a psychologist (Psychologische Psychotherapeutin in Verhaltenstherapie).
If you’re looking for a German-speaking therapist to express yourself in German or in perfect ‘Denglish’, we might be a good fit.
Sessions can take place over Zoom, or some people prefer to attend in person and even travel to Bellingen - it’s a great place for a getaway!
Feel free to reach out to me. I look forward to connecting with you.
My Therapeutic Approach
I have a passion for creating a pathway toward emotional transformation - helping you feel differently, more at peace, and more like yourself again.
People often seek me out when they’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or burdened by anxiety or past trauma.
My experience in trauma therapy has helped me understand how to reprocess difficult emotions. This approach is not only effective for PTSD, but also for a wide range of challenges, including anxiety and trauma, bullying, stress, adjustment difficulties, panic attacks, phobias, and the lasting impacts of childhood trauma and neglect.
Behind the scenes: After running my own private practice and training in Germany, I transitioned my clinical qualifications to Australia.

In therapy, my goal is to help you explore what’s keeping you stuck.
Sometimes it’s an unprocessed emotion or a painful memory that hasn’t yet been fully understood.
Other times, it’s a disconnection from your emotions and needs that makes it hard to engage in self-care that truly feels restorative.
Based on the feedback I’ve received, some sessions may feel emotionally intense. Some clients express relief and report feeling lighter and more confident.
