Background and approach

Samantha pays particular attention to trauma, grief and issues around intimacy and relationships. In practical terms, sessions involve listening, reflection and gentle guidance. Samantha offers space to talk through difficult memories, understand patterns such as avoidance or control, and try different ways of responding.

She also addresses concerns like sleep, eating, burnout and low self-esteem. Her background includes five years of therapeutic practice and work with people processing bereavement and childhood abuse. The BACP credential is shown as BACP and indicates her professional registration with that body.

Samantha combines different therapeutic influences to adapt to each person’s needs. She works with a wide range of concerns including addiction, ADHD, anger and compassion fatigue. The focus is on helping people develop clearer self-understanding, practical coping strategies and a stronger connection between body sensations and emotions.

How Samantha's approaches work online

Somatic Therapy helps people notice how emotions appear in the body, such as tension, breath changes or numbness, and uses gentle body-focused awareness to work with stress, trauma and anxiety. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful, non-judgemental space where people can find their own answers and feel heard. Existential Therapy addresses questions of meaning, choice and responsibility, useful when life changes, grief or feelings of emptiness feel overwhelming.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and the therapist will work collaboratively to decide what fits best. Conversations at the start shape whether sessions lean more on body-awareness, reflective listening or exploring life values. The plan can change as needs and goals evolve.

Online therapy via video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging offers flexibility for busy schedules and for people in different regions. These formats make it easier to keep continuity of care, try shorter check-ins or use written chat to reflect between sessions. Working remotely can help people access consistent support while balancing everyday responsibilities.
