Sam Cartwright
Counsellor
Sam is a second-year student in the Bachelor of Counselling and Addiction Practice programme at Whitireia. He came to Wellington as a backpacker in 2015 and never left. Sam was lucky enough to have lived in Australia and Brazil during his childhood, as well as his native UK. This exposure to diversity at a young age has fueled his curiosity and openness to new cultures and perspectives. Sam is a strong believer in equality and social justice and enjoys board games, travel, and exploring nature in his free time.
