About Samuel
Samuel Appiah is a counsellor and coach who focuses on helping people manage anxiety, stress and life transitions. He approaches work with warmth and respect, recognising that clients bring knowledge and strengths. Samuel uses straightforward conversation and practical tools to help people find clearer ways forward.
He blends person-centred listening with elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and mindfulness practice. That means sessions often involve exploring patterns of thought and behaviour, and trying small experiments or exercises between meetings.
Background and approach
Samuel aims to make ideas easy to use in day-to-day life. Samuel holds NCPS and has five years of professional experience in counselling and coaching. He has worked in independent practice and wellbeing settings, supporting concerns such as low mood, relationship and intimacy questions, self-esteem, grief, addiction and trauma.
His style is collaborative and pragmatic. He will help set clear goals and check progress together, while keeping space for reflection and understanding. People come away with practical coping strategies and a clearer sense of choice.
Sessions are offered in English and Samuel accepts international clients. He supports coaching-style work alongside therapy, so conversations can focus on short-term goals or deeper emotional exploration depending on what a person needs.
Approaches you can access online and how they help
Samuel commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy when working online. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and testing small changes to improve mood and reduce anxiety. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase present-moment awareness.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Samuel will discuss goals and preferences with each person and adapt methods as needed. The process is collaborative - he helps choose tools that match day-to-day needs, whether the focus is short-term coping or deeper emotional exploration.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for shorter reflections, notes between sessions or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine and to connect across time zones.
