About Samantha

Samantha Taitt is an NCPS counsellor working in the United Kingdom with six years of online practice. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, anger, relationship worry and work-related concerns. Samantha also helps with self-esteem, motivation, eating and sleeping problems, and coping with life changes.

She treats each person as the expert on their own life and takes a collaborative approach. Sessions focus on practical steps and clear strategies rather than jargon. Samantha uses conversational, problem-solving work to help people spot patterns and try new responses.

Her methods are drawn from cognitive behavioural techniques, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based ideas. She mixes these with client-centred listening and DBT skills where useful. That combination is used to build coping skills, manage distressing feelings and improve day-to-day functioning.

Samantha commonly works with people facing grief, trauma and abuse, addictions, ADHD and compassion fatigue. She also supports those dealing with career transitions and identity-related concerns including LGBT issues. The emphasis is on small, workable changes that fit into everyday life.

People who choose to work with her can expect a straightforward, supportive tone in sessions. The aim is to develop tools that help reduce reactive responses and increase calm in difficult moments. Samantha asks clients to set practical goals and checks progress as therapy continues.

How sessions work

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that fit their values. It can help when anger or frustration keeps getting in the way of goals. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and gives clear techniques for changing reactive behaviour and managing mood. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to patterns from close relationships and how they affect present-day reactions and connections.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Samantha will discuss these methods with each person and agree a plan based on goals, needs and what feels manageable. That collaborative decision means methods can be tried, adjusted or combined over time.

The original biography refers to video, phone and chat sessions, so confirm which formats are currently offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine, allow a shorter check-in when time is limited, and let people choose whether to be on camera. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often use online work to keep continuity of care when travel or schedules make in-person meetings difficult.
