About Samantha
Samantha Taitt is a counsellor with six years' experience offering online support to people managing stress, anxiety, depression and related concerns. She also helps with self-esteem, career questions, relationship difficulties, grief, trauma, eating or sleeping problems and ADHD. Samantha welcomes clients from the United Kingdom and internationally and works through video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging.
Samantha starts from a collaborative, client-centred stance. She believes people know their own story and brings practical strategies to help them move forward.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on clear goals and small steps that fit a person's day-to-day life. Her work draws on cognitive behavioural methods to spot unhelpful thinking and build new skills. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas are used to clarify values and respond differently to difficult thoughts and feelings.
She also uses attachment-informed ideas to look at how earlier relationships can shape current patterns. In a typical session Samantha listens without judgement and helps people try manageable exercises between meetings. She uses straightforward language and avoids jargon so people can apply what they learn straight away.
Sessions are paced to suit each person's needs and capacity for change. Practicalities such as session format and rhythm are arranged together. Samantha explains how the subscription-based sessions work, and helps people choose a schedule that fits work, family life or other commitments.
She encourages small, steady progress rather than quick fixes.
How these approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful when someone wants to reduce avoidance and build a meaningful life despite ongoing stress or anxiety. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep problems going and then testing new ways of responding. CBT is often helpful for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current reactions. It can help people understand recurring relationship struggles and develop different ways of connecting.Samantha treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will work with each person to discuss goals, try techniques, and adjust methods if something is not helping. The focus is on matching tools to practical needs rather than on sticking to a single model.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to fit different routines. Video suits conversations that benefit from face-to-face contact, phone calls can be shorter check-ins or suit low bandwidth situations, and chat or messaging work well for regular, flexible check-ins. These options make therapy more accessible for people balancing work, family or travel, while keeping the emphasis on steady, practical progress.
