About Samantha
Counsellor Samantha Taitt is an NCPS-registered counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with six years of experience offering online counselling. She works with people who are facing stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem and career concerns, and other challenges such as eating issues, relationship difficulties and motivation problems.
Samantha takes a collaborative, client-centred approach. She treats the person, not a diagnosis. Sessions focus on what is happening now and on practical steps that people can take between meetings. She uses everyday language and straightforward tools rather than technical terms.
Her background includes work with a wide range of life issues. These include coping with life changes, grief, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, addictions, ADHD and compassion fatigue. Additional areas noted are attachment concerns, adoption and foster care, caregiver stress, chronic illness and body image.
She draws on a mix of approaches such as cognitive behavioural techniques, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based ideas. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and client-centred methods also inform her sessions. The emphasis is on simple, evidence-informed strategies and on building practical skills.
Samantha offers sessions in English and works with people across the UK and internationally. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session.
Approaches used in online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is about noting thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and choosing actions that reflect personal values. It can help when anxiety, avoidance or low motivation get in the way of everyday life.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy works on the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It teaches practical techniques to manage anxiety, depression and unhelpful thinking patterns and includes exercises to practise between sessions.
Attachment-based ideas focus on patterns in close relationships and how early experiences shape current responses. This approach can be useful for people worried about trust, intimacy or recurring relationship problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together with the client decide which methods to use. That way sessions can be adjusted over time as needs change.
The biography names video, phone and chat as possible ways to meet, so please confirm the exact formats offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work or family commitments. Phone or chat can be shorter and less bandwidth dependent, while video allows face to face contact when that is helpful.
