Background and approach

Her aim is to create a space where thoughts can be spoken about without judgement. She has three years of professional experience and is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. That registration is shown as a credential and indicates her professional affiliation.

Samiyah draws on practical conversation to help people notice patterns and try small changes between sessions. Typical topics she addresses include trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, intimacy-related issues and self-harm. She also helps with body image, fertility and immigration concerns, postpartum depression and the particular stresses young adults can face.

Sessions look at what is most pressing now and what realistic next steps might be. Samiyah welcomes people from different cultural backgrounds and offers support in English. She encourages a collaborative pace so people set their own goals and move forward at a speed that feels manageable.

Client-centred therapy online and practical formats

Client-centred therapy places the person’s experience first. The counsellor listens without judgement and reflects back what is said to help people clarify their feelings and goals. This approach often helps with anxiety, low self-esteem, grief and relationship worries because it lets people feel heard and understood.

Sessions may also focus on practical coping steps and small behavioural changes between meetings. Those conversations are collaborative - the counsellor and client decide together which ideas to try and how to measure small progress. Finding the right approach is part of the work and Samiyah will help identify what fits a person’s needs and preferences.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for a full face-to-face conversation from anywhere. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier to fit around work. Live chat or messaging offer shorter check-ins and ongoing written support between longer sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and accessible for different schedules and ways of communicating.
