Samantha Taitt, NCPS

Samantha Taitt is a counsellor who specialises in helping people facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship strain and grief. She also supports people dealing with eating or sleeping problems, addiction and the challenges that come with life changes and career transitions. Samantha works online with clients in the United Kingdom and internationally, and has six years of experience in counselling. Her approach is collaborative and client-centred. She treats each person as the expert in their own life and focuses on practical steps that fit a person’s situation. Sessions are paced to suit the individual and aim to build on existing strengths. Samantha uses a mix of evidence-based techniques to make therapy practical. She draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-informed thinking and skills from dialectical behaviour therapy. These methods are used to help people notice patterns, manage difficult feelings and develop small, useful changes. In sessions she listens without judgement and helps people name what matters most to them. Together they set goals and try out strategies between meetings. This often includes short exercises, new coping routines and clearer ways of talking about problems. Samantha’s practice welcomes people from a range of backgrounds, including those navigating identity and LGBT questions, parenting stress, neurodiversity-related issues and long-term health concerns. She aims to make therapy straightforward and relatable for people who may be anxious about taking the first step.

Therapeutic approaches for online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It supports finding what matters to you and taking small steps toward those values. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and offers practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns and improve mood and coping. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss different methods and decide together which fits your situation, goals and preferences. That collaborative process can include trying one way for a few sessions and adjusting if needed. Online counselling can make it easier to include therapy in a busy life and to keep continuity when circumstances change. Some people prefer shorter check-ins by chat when a quick touch-base helps, while others choose video to use non-verbal cues in conversation. Please confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking so you can choose the option that fits your routine and needs.
