About Sam

Sam Harris is a counsellor who uses a client-centred approach to help people through difficult times. He has three years of experience working with stress, anxiety, depression and grief, and he supports people dealing with trauma, abuse and family problems. He prefers straightforward, easy conversation in sessions.

He aims to build a calm, non-judgemental space where people can say what’s on their mind and make sense of painful feelings. Sam focuses on practical ways to manage difficult moments as well as exploring what lies beneath them.

Background and approach

Sam draws on several therapeutic styles to suit each person. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, helps spot unhelpful thinking and change day-to-day habits. Psychodynamic approaches look at patterns that repeat in relationships and in how people cope.

He also uses solution-focused ideas to set clear, short-term goals and hypnotherapy where appropriate. He works with people facing relationship and intimacy-related issues, addiction and compulsive behaviours, eating and sleeping concerns, and parenting stress. Additional areas he addresses include abandonment and attachment issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, codependency and communication problems.

Sessions are offered in English and take place from the United Kingdom. Sam follows the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, as his professional reference. He encourages small steps and practical experiments between sessions to help people notice progress and build confidence.

Ways of working Sam names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How Sam's approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person in front of the counsellor. It means the counsellor listens deeply and follows what matters most to the client, helping them make sense of feelings and choices. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and gives practical tools to change unhelpful patterns. Both approaches suit concerns like anxiety, depression, stress and relationship difficulties.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Sam will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and day-to-day life and together they will choose which methods to try. That plan can change over time as progress is reviewed and new challenges appear.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when tone and expression matter. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer writing or want flexible, quick exchanges. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and health demands while keeping the focus on practical steps and emotional understanding.
