About Samantha

Samantha Salmon is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety and relationship problems. She supports people coping with trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem concerns and related life changes. Samantha works in a straightforward, respectful way and aims to make first steps feel achievable for someone who is worried or uncertain.

Samantha has 12 years of direct counselling experience in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration. Her background includes work in domestic abuse services and employee assistance settings, where she supported people facing workplace difficulties and personal crises.

Background and approach

That experience shaped a practical approach to short and longer term concerns. In sessions she listens for what matters to the person in front of her and builds on their strengths. She uses a mix of client-centred listening, goal-focused problem solving and mindfulness practices to help people notice patterns and try small, manageable changes.

Sessions aim to be collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. People often come for help with communication problems, control issues, or challenges such as chronic pain and illness that affect everyday life. Samantha also works with people dealing with panic, self-harm thoughts, feelings of isolation, and the fallout of separation or domestic violence.

She keeps language plain and practical so people can apply what they talk about between sessions. Her style is practical and compassionate. She invites people to explore what would feel different for them and to test new ways of coping.

Samantha helps clients plan small steps and reviews progress together over time.

How Samantha’s approaches work online

Samantha commonly blends client-centred counselling with cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness. Client-centred work means she listens carefully and follows what matters most to the person, helping them make sense of their experience and use their strengths. Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link, and uses small experiments to reduce anxiety or change unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness involves simple attention exercises to reduce stress and increase awareness of mood and bodily sensation.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Samantha will discuss different options in early sessions and test what helps most based on a person’s goals, preferences and the issues they bring. The plan can change as progress is reviewed so the approach stays useful and practical.

Online therapy lets people work in ways that fit their life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a longer discussion is needed. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or to fit a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing or need flexibility across the day. These options make it simpler to keep continuity of care while using client-centred, CBT and mindfulness techniques remotely.
