About Samantha

Samantha Taitt is a counsellor with six years of online practice. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, career worries and relationship concerns. She also works with issues around addiction, grief, trauma, parenting strain and ADHD, and supports LGBT clients too.

Samantha takes a collaborative, client-centred approach. She starts by listening and then shapes sessions around each person’s priorities. Practical tools and simple steps are used alongside space to talk things through. The aim is to help people find clearer thinking and steadier coping in everyday life.

Her work draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and try alternative responses. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to help people act in line with what matters to them. Attachment-based ideas inform how she reads relationship patterns and emotional responses.

Samantha encourages noticing strengths and building small routines that make life more manageable. She offers straightforward exercises for mood, sleep and motivation, and ideas for handling anger or cravings. Sessions focus on what matters most to each person rather than theory.

Clients who choose Samantha will be guided through a short matching process and then offered a schedule that fits their situation. Sessions are conducted in English and she works with people in the United Kingdom and internationally. The practice uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How these approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small actions in that direction. It focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck and is often used for anxiety, low mood and life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. It uses practical techniques to challenge unhelpful thinking and build new routines for sleep, mood and coping with stress.

Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early and current relationships shape emotional reactions and patterns. It can help people understand why they repeat certain relationship habits and find different ways of connecting.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Samantha will discuss options with each person and decide together what methods suit their goals and preferences. That collaborative choice is reviewed as therapy progresses so things can be adjusted if needed.

Online counselling can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a work break, or let someone use a phone call when bandwidth is low. The biography indicates several formats such as video, phone and chat, but confirm which of these are offered before booking. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often use online work to make sessions more accessible and practical for everyday routines.
