She is based in the United Kingdom and works in English. Samantha favours a person-centred way of working.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to follow the client's pace and priorities. Conversations focus on what matters now, and on practical ways to make things feel more manageable. People can expect a calm, relaxed space to talk and be heard.
Her practice draws on somatic approaches that link body sensation with emotional experience. She also uses psychodynamic ideas to look at patterns from the past, and solution-focused steps to set clear, achievable goals. These methods are used together to match each person's needs rather than as a one-size-fits-all package.
Samantha holds NCPS, which appears as her listed credential. She has five years' experience working with adults in the UK. Sessions are offered through video calls, phone, live chat and text messaging to suit different preferences.
Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time and fees vary by location and availability. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Samantha combines somatic work and client-centred practice to support people in online therapy. Somatic work helps clients notice bodily sensations linked to emotions and can be useful for stress, trauma and anxiety. Client-centred work places the person’s own goals and pace at the heart of each session and helps people feel heard and understood.She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to look at repeating patterns and early influences when that is helpful. Together these approaches are explored collaboratively; Samantha will work with the client to decide which methods suit their needs and goals rather than applying a single fixed approach.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. These options give flexibility for people who prefer speaking face to face on screen, a phone conversation, real-time chat, or ongoing messaging. For many this makes it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life while still accessing therapeutic support from a registered or accredited professional.
