More about Samantha

  • NCPS

I have a skill set for working with trauma and childhood abuse and childhood trauma. I also work with everyday anxiety and positive thinking, addictions, family issues and relationship difficulties.

I have a background in sen needs within a prison education and secondary education setting. I have worked as a counsellor in both those settings and have a background and specialisation in counselling with autistic spectrum.

I follow an integrative approach to helping people navigate their way through whatever difficulties they are facing. Integrative is using a number of counseling frameworks. I make use of CBT, Psychodynamic, mindfulness-based and person-centred therapy in a way that is appropriate to the individual needs of each client. I also like to use creative therapy which uses creative ways in which to help people feel at ease to explore the things they feel they need to.

I have a degree in Psychology and a diploma in therapeutic counselling, I have tutored counselling students online. I am a member of the BACP (British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists) and NCS (National counselling society) and follow their ethical framework. I am trained in online and telephone counselling and a member of ACTO (Association for Counselling and therapy online)

About online counseling

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Samantha has been amazing to talk to. She creates such a safe space for me and has really helped me through some difficult time as well as many successes. She makes me feel in control of my session and free to express what is important to me at the time needed.

Samantha was a great therapist. She was kind and was very helpful.

Reviewed December 2023

Sam is awesome. She is so warm and empathetic and creates a psychologically safe space, so I feel able to be vulnerable and open. She is very compassionate, and knows when to push me and when to give me more space. She offers lots of different strategies and encourages me to think and reflect. I cannot recomend her more highly.

Reviewed November 2023

Samantha is approximately my 7th or so therapist in my (47 years) life and I really feel heard and that I’m in control of the speed and path whilst also being gently encouraged and guided. She really appreciates my personality type and coping mechanisms I have without me feeling embarrassed or weird. I don’t fear therapy as much as I used to and although we have only touched on some of the big hitters in my life (with knowledge we are going to face them together in more depth) I do see some changes in daily life and I’m feeling a little bit more positive that I actually have a future and possibly a free one ❤️
