About Samantha
Samantha Taitt is a counsellor registered with NCPS and has six years of experience working online with adults across the UK and beyond. She supports young adults and others with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and relationship difficulties. She also helps people dealing with career decisions, motivation, eating and sleeping concerns, and coping with life changes.
Samantha uses a collaborative, client-centred approach that focuses on what each person brings to the room. She treats clients as the experts in their own lives and works alongside them to set realistic goals. Sessions emphasise practical steps and clear tools to manage difficult feelings and day-to-day problems.
Her practice draws on cognitive behavioural therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to help people notice unhelpful thinking and build more flexible ways of responding. She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current patterns and interactions. Dialectical behaviour therapy skills feature where emotional regulation and distress tolerance are needed.
In a typical meeting Samantha helps people break down a problem into manageable parts and practise small experiments between sessions. She offers straightforward strategies for coping with anxiety, improving sleep, calming strong emotions and making decisions about work or study. Sessions move at a pace chosen by the client.
People who prefer a conversational, practical style often find this approach useful. Sessions are conducted in English and Samantha accepts international clients, using an online model for therapy. Confirm current session options before booking to ensure they match personal needs.
Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Samantha uses cognitive behavioural therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and to practise different coping responses. CBT is useful for anxiety, low mood and sleep or eating difficulties because it focuses on changing thoughts and behaviours in everyday life.She also draws on acceptance and commitment therapy, which helps people notice painful thoughts and emotions without getting stuck in them. ACT supports values-based action, which can help with motivation, career choices and relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Samantha works collaboratively with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That may mean combining CBT, ACT and attachment-based ideas over time, and adjusting the plan as progress is made.
Her practice operates online, so check the current session options before booking to know which formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around study, shifts or travel, and it can reduce time spent on commuting. It also allows shorter check-ins when days are busy and makes it simpler to access a therapist from another region or country. Registered and accredited professionals can use a range of approaches to make sessions practical and relevant to young adults managing early-career and life transitions.
