"As an individual, and as a business, we are committed to embracing diversity and fostering inclusivity, and wholeheartedly support, and are deeply committed to biculturalism in New Zealand. We recognize the significance of honouring the Tangata Whenua, the indigenous people of Aotearoa, as well as respecting and celebrating the diverse cultures of all peoples in this nation. I acknowledge the principles of Te Tiriti o Waitangi, the Treaty of Waitangi, which forms the foundation of our nation's partnership, participation, and protection. I believe that by upholding the values enshrined in Te Tiriti o Waitangi and embracing our bicultural heritage, we can work towards a more equitable and prosperous future for all." - Sam Mitchell Director

About Sam, the Director of Your Focus Ltd

Ms Sam Mitchell is a registered psychotherapist with 26 plus years working as an integrative psychotherapist and specialising in EMDR.

For many years Sam has worked as an ACC registered trauma therapist, as well as working in private practice and a number of agencies and services.

Sam has always had entrepreneurial leanings and business interests alongside her practice and other positions. She originally trained as a nurse, then a teacher and has done a wide range of jobs while away on her years of overseas adventures.

At this stage of her career, Sam has focused her energy, interest and experience into developing Your Focus Ltd into a rapidly growing therapeutic services business within Aotearoa and online. Sam prides herself on this business being therapist owned, led and operated.

Sam has always had a drive to support other therapists, and her own training and experience provides her with the ability to support, not only clients, but also therapists as they do the therapy mahi that helps to transform people’s lives.

Sam has a personal relationship with each provider who contracts to Your Focus and provides them with support to be approved under contracts. We have a robust, supportive and practical approach to helping providers become ISSC registered and then provide them with personal support and resources for them to carry out the contract.

Our point of difference, one we are proud of and enjoy, is that Sam has a personal relationship with all of our providers, and supports them as much as possible, and over and above other suppliers. This is one of the reasons we are now one of the biggest ACC suppliers in NZ, Aotearoa, and this is mostly due to word of mouth.

Sam maintains a small private practice, mainly on Waiheke Island where she lives, in order to retain and enhance her therapy skills, particularly EMDR. She also provides some free therapy to adults, adolescents within her island community, who are or have faced adversity and loss.

Sam is a mother, and a grandmother to two adorable boys, who luckily for her, all live on Waiheke Island. She feels privileged to live in such a beautiful place. Sam also has the constant company of her adorable cavoodle, Lotte.
