More about Samantha

  • 9 years' experience
  • Female
  • BACP

I offer a safe, non-judgemental space for anyone wanting to explore their lives, anyone wanting to work on personal issues and anyone wanting to do some inner work.

I also specialise in working with survivors of Childhood Sexual abuse and Survivors of Domestic Abuse. I am passionate about empowering you to heal from traumatic experiences and grow in any way that works for you and your life. Experienced in working with Survivors of Sexual Abuse and Domestic abuse, I know I can be with you every step of the way, being with you during the darker times to help you process your thoughts and feelings, and being with you to celebrate your breakthroughs and growth and healing!

I worked in an agency for survivors of sexual abuse for 4 years, an agency for people affected by cancer for 1 year and I currently volunteer at a women`s centre offering counselling to women with a range of issues. Alongside offering counselling at Betterhelp and my volunteer work I also work in private practice from a therapy room in England, UK offering counselling and also reiki.

I offer Person Centred Therapy, working together to explore your life experiences through talking therapy. For the times that words don`t come easily or it`s a struggle to connect to your experience, I work intuitively to find creative materials or relaxation techniques to aid that connection.

I will listen deeply, sharing what I`m hearing, sensing and seeing. Person Centred Therapy honours the potential for growth and healing that is present in all of us, creating the conditions needed for change rather than imposing solutions, guidance or diagnoses. I respect that we all have our own life journeys and I welcome you wherever you are on yours.

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, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

So far I've had two sessions with Sammi. I feel like she's actively listened to everything I've said, being able to pick up on the smaller details as well as offering me perspective on the larger issues I'm working through.
