How Samantha works
Sessions can include mindfulness exercises, emotion-focused work and attachment-based ideas to better understand how relationships affect wellbeing. Her background includes work in prison education and secondary special educational needs (SEN) settings. That experience shaped her approach to supporting people who are neurodivergent, including autistic spectrum needs.
She has also tutored counselling students online. Samantha holds a degree in Psychology and a diploma in therapeutic counselling and lists NCPS as a credential. She is a member of professional bodies and follows their ethical frameworks.
She is trained in online and telephone counselling and is a member of the Association for Counselling and Therapy Online. Sessions are offered through video calls, phone, live chat and text messaging. Communication enquiries are normally answered within 24 hours Monday to Friday.
The aim in sessions is practical next steps and clearer thinking rather than technical language.

Online support options
How Samantha uses evidence-based approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then choose actions that match their values; it is useful for anxiety, depression and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting patterns of unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviours to reduce symptoms such as panic attacks or persistent worry. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current bonds and can help with intimacy-related issues and family worries.Samantha treats finding the right approach as a shared task. She will discuss goals and preferences and then blend methods in a way that suits each person. Sessions involve practical exercises, reflective conversation and small steps you can try between meetings to test what helps.
Online therapy offers flexible options like video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video sessions allow a face-to-face style conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low, live chat supports shorter check-ins and text messaging works for ongoing, brief reflections between appointments. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy around work, childcare or mobility limits while keeping a consistent course of support.
