About Samantha
Samantha Lawson is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with four years of professional practice. She completed a year-long placement of over 100 hours and has worked through a wide range of concerns such as addiction, relationships, low motivation, self-esteem struggles and depression.
Samantha uses an integrative way of working, drawing on several therapies so sessions can be adapted to each person's needs. She aims to work collaboratively, helping clients notice strengths and develop practical steps to manage difficult feelings.
Sessions typically involve talking through what feels most pressing, trying short exercises in the session, and testing small changes between meetings. She often uses techniques from cognitive behavioural approaches and mindfulness to help with mood and sleep. There is also space to look at deeper patterns that might come from past experiences.
Her focus covers young adult issues such as starting work, leaving home, relationship pressures and feeling behind, alongside concerns like trauma, intimacy problems and career worries. She also works with people facing caregiver stress, body image and eating-related struggles, and communication or control issues.
People who choose Samantha can expect straightforward, practical sessions and a pace set by their own needs. She will help map out clear goals and check progress as therapy continues.
How Samantha uses therapeutic methods online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and try small, value-led changes. It is useful for low motivation, emptiness and ongoing worries about direction in life.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. It often helps with depression, sleeping problems and managing stress from work or study.
Client-Centred Therapy places the client’s perspective at the centre of sessions, giving space to talk and be heard while deciding on next steps. This approach supports people who need time to make sense of their feelings and find their own solutions.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Samantha will explore goals, preferences and practical needs together with each person and adjust methods as therapy progresses. That collaborative process shapes a plan rather than imposing a single method.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around study, shifts and travel. It can also allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight, reduce travel time, and offer a way to continue regular sessions during busy periods.
