More about Samantha
- 15 years' experience
- Female
- NCPS
I have a skill set for working with trauma and childhood abuse and childhood trauma. I also work with everyday anxiety and positive thinking, addictions, family issues and relationship difficulties.
I have a background in sen needs within a prison education and secondary education setting. I have worked as a counsellor in both those settings and have a background and specialisation in counselling with autistic spectrum.
I follow an integrative approach to helping people navigate their way through whatever difficulties they are facing. Integrative is using a number of counseling frameworks. I make use of CBT, Psychodynamic, mindfulness-based and person-centred therapy in a way that is appropriate to the individual needs of each client. I also like to use creative therapy which uses creative ways in which to help people feel at ease to explore the things they feel they need to.
I have a degree in Psychology and a diploma in therapeutic counselling, I have tutored counselling students online. I am a member of the BACP (British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists) and NCS (National counselling society) and follow their ethical framework. I am trained in online and telephone counselling and a member of ACTO (Association for Counselling and therapy online)

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

She creates a very warm and safe space:)
Samantha has been amazing to talk to. She creates such a safe space for me and has really helped me through some difficult time as well as many successes. She makes me feel in control of my session and free to express what is important to me at the time needed.
Samantha is a great therapist, she helped me navigate many difficult situations over the past few months. She listened to me, offered advice and showed a lot of empathy and professionalism.
Samantha was a great therapist. She was kind and was very helpful.
Sam is awesome. She is so warm and empathetic and creates a psychologically safe space, so I feel able to be vulnerable and open. She is very compassionate, and knows when to push me and when to give me more space. She offers lots of different strategies and encourages me to think and reflect. I cannot recomend her more highly.
Samantha is approximately my 7th or so therapist in my (47 years) life and I really feel heard and that I’m in control of the speed and path whilst also being gently encouraged and guided. She really appreciates my personality type and coping mechanisms I have without me feeling embarrassed or weird. I don’t fear therapy as much as I used to and although we have only touched on some of the big hitters in my life (with knowledge we are going to face them together in more depth) I do see some changes in daily life and I’m feeling a little bit more positive that I actually have a future and possibly a free one ❤️
Samantha has been a big help in talking through my issues. She showed me more empathy than I thought I deserved and I'm grateful to her for it.
Samantha is gentle and totally non judgemental. I feel safe in discussing my issues and already feel the benefits from working with Samantha.
Samantha has been superb. Her discussions were so healing and positive and she supported me greatly.
just started therapy for the first time and samantha has made it so easy when i was so anxious. she is gentle and supportive and really listens, when i am unsure of my own ability to go into memories that hurt, she is beside me and makes me feel safe. i can feel comfortable in my own space when dealing with vulnerable and emotional things.
