More about Samantha

  • 7 years' experience
  • Female
  • BACP

I am licensed in the UK with 7 years of professional work experience. I began my career working in the field of addiction and trauma. I now have my own private practice where I work with varying issues: relationship concerns, family conflicts, boundaries, communication, and narcissistic and emotional abuse.

I believe that deep down, you have the answers to your struggles. You are the expert on you. I will help you to understand your emotions and thoughts and together we will alleviate your fears and anxieties. We will reflect on your life experiences as well as your courage and strengths.

Together we will create a way forward for you to live a full and happier life.

I am a Holistic Life and Health Coach. This means that we will explore the strong mind and body connection so that you will take control. I will help you with habit change, work/life balance, diet and exercise and much more.

I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.

I offer many interventions and tools that will help to empower you so that you can continue your life journey with more awareness and self-knowledge.

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.

Amazing therapist. Very understanding and insightful. She followed up after every interaction we had both via text and video sessions.

Reviewed November 2022

Sam made me comfortable from the first minute of our call. She didn’t waste time with small talk and dove right into the core issue. Not only was she compassionate and an amazing listener, she made me come to several conclusions on my own, which made the sessions well worth while.
