More about Samantha
- 4 years' experience
- Female
- BACP
I am qualified integrative therapist. I work with a person centred foundation incorporating aspects of attachment informed therapy, psychodynamic therapy, psychoeducation, CBT, mindfulness etc. I have experience in supporting clients struggling with stress and/or anxiety. I am a registered member of the BACP and follow their ethical framework. I have a PG Cert. in Attachment theory, research and practice and am currently completing an MSc.
For many struggling, mental health has been exacerbated by the global pandemic, current economic climate and stresses of everyday life. I offer a space to process, make changes and move forwards whilst being compassionate to yourself.
I support relationship issues, part of this work can be supporting clients to improve communication skills, work through transitions in relationships and put healthy boundaries in place.
I have experience supporting individuals and families coping with grief and loss. I also have training in supporting those bereaved directly or indirectly by suicide.
I offer space to work on self esteem, motivation and confidence. I offer an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
