About Samantha
Samantha Quinn is a counsellor who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and major life changes. She works with clients who face motivation struggles, ADHD-related challenges, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, and a range of other concerns. Samantha holds BACP accreditation and has four years of professional experience in the UK.
She prefers a practical, down-to-earth style in sessions. Conversations are client-led and tailored to each person’s needs.
Background and approach
Samantha aims to create a respectful space where people can speak honestly about what they’re finding hard and try new ways of coping. Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and client-centred principles. That means practical steps to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, alongside attention to values and emotional experience.
Attachment-informed ideas also shape how she looks at relationship and intimacy difficulties. Sessions typically focus on small, achievable changes. Samantha will work with people to set clear goals and try tools between meetings.
She also uses mindfulness and emotion-focused skills to help manage difficult feelings and improve day-to-day functioning. Having worked with people facing addiction, trauma, parenting strain and chronic health issues, she keeps a broad focus and adapts methods to the person in front of her. Samantha aims to support people to build steadier coping, clearer thinking, and more satisfying connections in life.
How Samantha uses practical therapies online
Samantha commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy when working online. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours with practical exercises and homework. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep and stress management. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify their values and take committed steps towards them, even when difficult feelings are present, which can help with motivation, avoidance and meaning-based goals.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Samantha will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made so the work feels useful and relevant.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who have lower bandwidth. Live chat and messaging can work well for brief check-ins, written reflection or for fitting therapy into a busy day. These options help people access consistent support and keep work moving between meetings.
