About Samavia

Samavia Chaudhary offers a person-centred approach that keeps the individual at the heart of the work. She uses the person-centred stance to build a respectful, non-judgemental therapeutic relationship. Samavia combines this with other methods to respond to each person's needs.

Samavia has eight years of counselling experience and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She provides both short-term and longer-term support, adapting the pace to what someone needs right now.

How Samavia works

Sessions focus on helping people feel heard and understand what is getting in the way of change. Common concerns she addresses include stress, anxiety, low self-esteem and depression. She also helps people cope with life changes, grief, trauma and abuse, and issues linked to eating, sleeping and work.

Other areas of focus are compassion fatigue, relationship difficulties, anger, parenting challenges, bipolar and ADHD. Her style is straightforward and collaborative. Samavia listens first, then helps people identify small practical steps that feel achievable.

Mindfulness techniques and solution-focused ideas are used when they suit someone’s goals. Sessions are offered in English and are available to people in the United Kingdom and internationally. She works remotely using a range of online formats so people can choose what fits their routine.

To get started, there is a short matching questionnaire and then sessions are scheduled according to availability.

Online support options

How person-centred and solution-focused work translates online

Samavia blends a person-centred approach with mindfulness and solution-focused techniques to guide online sessions. Person-centred therapy means the counsellor listens carefully and follows the individual's lead, helping them feel heard and understood. Mindfulness therapy introduces simple awareness exercises to reduce stress and manage anxiety in daily life. Solution-focused therapy concentrates on identifying small, practical steps and building on strengths to move towards realistic goals.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the collaborative process. Samavia will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and preferences. Together they set goals and review progress, adapting techniques as needed so the work stays relevant and manageable.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and observing non-verbal cues. Phone sessions suit those with lower bandwidth or who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging offer short check-ins or ongoing written reflection that can fit around work or caregiving. These options give flexibility and make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life.
