Background and approach
She has worked closely with first responders and veterans in the UK, US and Canada and has delivered talks and courses on post-traumatic stress and suicide awareness. Her background includes several vocational and practice-focused qualifications in counselling and therapeutic approaches. In sessions she adapts the approach to fit each person.
Conversations are collaborative and goal-focused, with practical strategies to manage symptoms and everyday challenges. She draws on cognitive and humanistic ideas to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different ways of responding. Samantha lists Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy among her approaches.
She explains things plainly and works with people to choose techniques that suit their needs and situation. She offers video calls and telephone sessions, and allows messaging between sessions for brief follow-ups. Sessions are shaped around what each person needs and the pace they prefer.
How Samantha uses different approaches online
Samantha often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in sessions, which helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for ongoing anxiety, stress and life changes.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, a practical method that looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches skills to manage panic, sleep problems and low mood. Client-Centred Therapy is another influence, which focuses on listening, empathy and building a trusting therapeutic relationship.
Choosing an approach is part of the work together. Samantha will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then tailor techniques to fit the person. That collaborative process helps decide whether to focus on skills practice, values-based action, or reflective dialogue.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video sessions let people work face to face from different locations, phone calls need less bandwidth and can fit into a busy day, while messaging or live chat can be useful for short check-ins or ongoing support between calls. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caring responsibilities or travel schedules.
