About Samantha
Samantha Johnson is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, parenting pressures and life changes. She is also experienced with issues such as low self-esteem, depression and body image, and approaches each person with warmth and practical support. Samantha holds NCPS as a credential and practises from a person-centred perspective combined with cognitive behavioural techniques.
She keeps sessions straightforward and practical. Conversations begin with what matters most to the individual and move towards small, realistic steps they can try between meetings. Samantha blends the listening and acceptance of person-centred work with the structure and tools of cognitive behavioural therapy to help people notice patterns and test new ways of coping.
Before qualifying as a counsellor she spent over eight years working in education settings. That background gave experience supporting children and adults, and working alongside parents and school teams. She has particular experience in school mental health, including supporting families of children with additional needs.
Samantha has practised since 2020 and is registered with the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society, NCPS. Her experience informs a calm, non-judgemental approach that aims to make therapy practical and understandable.
People seeking help can expect a collaborative process where the counsellor and client set goals together. Sessions aim to be manageable and focused on what will help most in day-to-day life, including handling money and financial stress when that is part of the concern.
How therapeutic approaches work online
Person-centred counselling focuses on being heard and accepted. It helps people explore their feelings at their own pace and can be useful for stress, low mood and relationship concerns. Cognitive behavioural techniques look at thoughts and behaviours and introduce practical exercises to reduce anxiety and improve coping for issues like panic, worry and financial stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals and try out methods together, adapting the mix of listening and practical tools to what the client prefers and needs. This collaborative process helps keep sessions relevant and focused.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the exact session formats before booking as the biography does not specify them. Online work can make fitting therapy into a busy life easier, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a lunch break, or making it simpler to continue when relocating. Registered or accredited professionals can use different ways to work remotely, and the therapist will explain which options suit your circumstances during the initial matching and scheduling steps.
