My name is Sam and I have been part of the Marymead CatholicCare Student and Family Counselling team, and working at St Patrick’s, since 2021.

I am a psychologist and I have been working as a school counsellor since 2019, whilst gaining my full registration. I have also previously worked as a primary school teacher in the UK and the UAE. I love working with children and their families and am very happy to be continuing my work at St Patrick’s for another year.

Feel free to touch base with any questions or concerns relating to the counselling service at your school. I am at St Patrick’s on Wednesdays and alternate Thursdays.

I can also be reached via email: Samantha.hessenthaler@mccg.org.au

In order to make a referral to the school counselling service for your child please get in touch with the school, or follow the below link: https://mccg.my.site.com/housing/s/school-referral-form

I look forward to working with you and your school throughout 2024!
