Samuel McLellan-Hall

Clinical Psychology Registrar

Samuel is a Clinical Psychology Registrar who is passionate about helping people better understand themselves and navigate life's challenges with confidence and self-compassion. He provides both psychological assessment and therapy services for children, adolescents, and adults, with a particular interest in delivering neuro-affirming care that recognises and respects each person's unique strengths, experiences, and way of engaging with the world.

Samuel believes that the foundation of effective therapy is a strong, genuine relationship. He strives to create a warm, welcoming, and non-judgemental space where clients feel safe to be themselves, explore challenges, and work towards meaningful goals at their own pace.

Drawing on evidence-based approaches, Samuel works collaboratively with clients and families to support emotional wellbeing, personal growth, and lasting change. Whether supporting someone through a difficult period, assisting with assessment and diagnosis, or helping individuals better understand their strengths and needs, he is committed to providing compassionate and person-centred care.

Outside of work, Samuel enjoys spending time on the golf course, playing hockey, and heading to the beach with his dog, Chester. He values the importance of balance, connection, and spending time doing the things that bring joy and wellbeing—values that also guide his approach to clinical practice.
