More about Samantha

  • 4 years' experience
  • Female
  • BACP

I am a UK‑credentialed practitioner with four years of professional experience, including a year‑long placement of over 100 hours. I have completed over 1,000 live sessions on BetterHelp, supporting clients through challenges such as addiction, relationship issues, low motivation, self‑esteem and confidence concerns, and depression.

My practice is grounded in an integrative approach, meaning I draw from a range of therapeutic methods to meet your individual needs. No single model works for everyone, so I tailor our work together in a flexible, collaborative way that honours your strengths, your pace, and your personal goals.

I believe that you are the expert of your own life. Even when things feel overwhelming, you carry resilience and inner resources that can guide you forward. My role is to help you recognise those strengths, navigate difficult emotions, and move toward meaningful change.

Reaching out for support is a courageous step toward a more fulfilling life. If you’re ready to explore what’s holding you back and work toward the version of yourself you want to become, I’m here to support you with compassion, understanding, and a grounded, integrative approach.

About online counseling

Affordable.

Convenient.

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.
