About Samantha
Samantha Lawson is a counsellor with four years of practice in the United Kingdom and a BACP registration. She has worked extensively with people facing addiction, relationship strain, low self-esteem, depression and motivation problems. Her experience includes a year-long placement with over 100 clinical hours and a large number of live sessions supporting a range of common life difficulties.
She uses an integrative way of working that draws on a few different therapies rather than sticking to one model. Samantha adapts sessions to each person's pace and priorities. She aims to help people notice their strengths and make small changes they can sustain.
Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking as well as understanding feelings and past patterns. Techniques may include noticing thoughts and behaviours, learning ways to manage upsetting feelings, and trying new communication habits. Samantha also pays attention to how past relationships shape current reactions.
People who come to her often want help with life transitions, career stress, sleep problems, intimacy concerns, compassion fatigue or the fallout from trauma and abuse. She also supports work on issues such as codependency, body image and coping after separation.
Her approach is collaborative and down-to-earth. She helps clients set realistic goals, try small experiments between sessions, and check what is or isn’t working. If you are thinking about starting therapy, she asks straightforward questions to match the work to your needs and values.
How Samantha uses therapies online to support change
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful when someone feels stuck or unsure what matters most. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses simple exercises to shift unhelpful patterns and improve mood or sleep.Finding the best approach is part of the work. Samantha treats the choice of method as collaborative and will adapt techniques to your goals and preferences. She listens to what you want to achieve and checks in about what helps during the first sessions.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the exact session formats available before booking. Many people find online work easier to fit around daily life, for example by saving travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during busy days. Online sessions can make it simpler to keep continuity through life changes and to try practical homework between meetings. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often use video or phone in different ways, so ask which options the therapist offers when you arrange your first appointment.
