About Samantha

Samantha Lawson is a counsellor who trained in the UK and holds BACP registration. She brings four years of professional experience and practical time working with people facing addiction, relationship strain, low motivation, and depression. Her way of working is straightforward and respectful.

She values each person’s own knowledge about their life and builds therapy around what they already do well. Samantha uses a flexible mix of methods rather than one fixed model.

Background and approach

She adapts sessions to suit a person's goals and pace. Conversations are collaborative and aim to help people notice strengths, manage difficult emotions, and try small changes that add up. Her background includes a year-long placement with over 100 hours of face-to-face work and more than 1,000 live sessions delivered online.

That variety means she is used to both in-person style work and remote formats such as video and phone contact. People come to her with a wide range of concerns. Alongside addictions and depression, she supports those feeling low self-esteem, coping with life changes, trauma or abuse, intimacy worries, sleep disruption, and career stress.

She also addresses issues like compassion fatigue, body image and communication problems. Sessions are grounded, practical and paced to the individual. Samantha aims to help clients make sense of what they are living through, try out clearer ways to cope, and slowly build more satisfying routines and relationships.

How Samantha’s approaches work online

Samantha commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy in her online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values; it is often used for anxiety, depression and motivation problems. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and building a trusting relationship so someone can explore their feelings at their own pace; it is useful for self-esteem, relationship concerns and processing distress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Samantha will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then adapt methods as therapy progresses. That collaborative process means plans can change if something doesn’t feel right or new priorities emerge.

Online sessions can be arranged as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, which makes therapy more flexible. Video calls let people use visual cues and a fuller conversation. Phone sessions can fit into a break at work or suit those who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are useful for shorter check-ins, writing through thoughts, or keeping momentum between longer sessions. These options help people access therapy around work, family and day-to-day life.
