More about Samantha
- 9 years' experience
- Female
- BACP
I offer a safe, non-judgemental space for anyone wanting to explore their lives, anyone wanting to work on personal issues and anyone wanting to do some inner work.
I also specialise in working with survivors of Childhood Sexual abuse and Survivors of Domestic Abuse. I am passionate about empowering you to heal from traumatic experiences and grow in any way that works for you and your life. Experienced in working with Survivors of Sexual Abuse and Domestic abuse, I know I can be with you every step of the way, being with you during the darker times to help you process your thoughts and feelings, and being with you to celebrate your breakthroughs and growth and healing!
I worked in an agency for survivors of sexual abuse for 4 years, an agency for people affected by cancer for 1 year and I currently volunteer at a women`s centre offering counselling to women with a range of issues. Alongside offering counselling at Betterhelp and my volunteer work I also work in private practice from a therapy room in England, UK offering counselling and also reiki.
I offer Person Centred Therapy, working together to explore your life experiences through talking therapy. For the times that words don`t come easily or it`s a struggle to connect to your experience, I work intuitively to find creative materials or relaxation techniques to aid that connection.
I will listen deeply, sharing what I`m hearing, sensing and seeing. Person Centred Therapy honours the potential for growth and healing that is present in all of us, creating the conditions needed for change rather than imposing solutions, guidance or diagnoses. I respect that we all have our own life journeys and I welcome you wherever you are on yours.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

I’ve never felt so supported and understood before. I’m truly listened to in every session and I feel much better since starting a couple of months ago. Thank you so much, Sammi ❤️
Samantha provided a very safe and warm space to open up various subjects of my life on my terms and provided support on my worries. Highly recommend for talking theropy

I feel like she's actively listened to everything I've said, being able to pick up on the smaller details as well as offering me perspective on the larger issues I'm working through.
