Background and approach
He blends practical tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with reflective approaches to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try different ways of coping. Sessions are collaborative and focused on small, achievable change. He also draws on existential and Jungian ideas to help people explore meaning, identity and deeper patterns that can affect mood and relationships.
Mindfulness techniques are offered to help with stress, rumination and sleep. Psychodynamic ideas inform attention to past relationships that shape present difficulties. Samuel trained in counselling and coaching and holds NCPS as a recognised credential.
He has worked in independent practice and wellbeing settings, helping people find clearer ways forward during transitions and crises. Sessions can address a wide range of concerns such as family and parenting stress, compassion fatigue, attachment issues, body image, commitment and communication problems, and challenges linked to adoption and foster care.
Samuel accepts international clients and offers a mix of online session types to suit different needs.
Approaches for online therapy and practical support
Samuel commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - a short-term, practical approach that helps people spot thinking and behaviour patterns that maintain anxiety or low mood and then try different coping strategies. It is often useful for stress, sleep problems, and anxiety.He also draws on Existential Therapy to help people talk about meaning, values and life choices. This approach can help when someone feels stuck during major life changes or is questioning identity and purpose.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Samuel will discuss goals and preferences with each person and adapt techniques accordingly. He treats therapy as a collaboration where methods are chosen to fit what feels most helpful for you.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into a busy life. Video calls allow a face-to-face style conversation, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be simpler to fit into a break, live chat can suit shorter check-ins and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options aim to increase flexibility and accessibility for people arranging therapy from different locations.
