KNOW SAMIRA
Samira Wiemer is a warm, understanding, experienced psychologist passionate about supporting individuals, parents, and couples through life transitions and family challenges. She believes that often, everyday life can become too busy; we can feel pushed around by life or like we are rushing through life with no direction. During these times, we can lose track of what really matters in life, such as our values and dreams. This disconnection can lead to feelings of depression, anxiety, dissatisfaction, and persistent stress. Samira aims to provide a space for individuals,
parents and couples to press pause, regain control and refocus on what is most important in their lives. By reconnecting with what matters most, clients can create a greater sense of joy, fulfilment, and control, ultimately improving mental health.
