Samantha Holt welcomes people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief or difficult life changes. She is a counsellor who aims to make early conversations straightforward and easy to manage. Samantha uses a down-to-earth style so someone who is worried can say what matters most and be heard without jargon.

Samantha works with people on relationship and intimacy-related issues, trauma and abuse, eating concerns, addictions and anger. She also helps with sleeping problems, parenting strain, career pressures and the emotional effects of illness.

Background and approach

Other areas she focuses on include attachment difficulties, codependency, and coping with divorce or separation. Samantha trained to NCPS standards and has five years of experience in therapeutic practice. She draws on a mix of approaches to match what a person needs rather than offering a single fixed method.

Sessions tend to be practical, rooted in everyday thinking and feelings, and paced to suit the individual. In sessions she encourages open conversation about how past events affect current behaviour and relationships. That can include gentle work on trauma responses, looking at unhelpful thinking patterns, and noticing how attachment styles shape expectations of others.

The aim is to help people make small changes that feel achievable. Samantha tailors sessions so people can move at their own pace while tackling difficult topics. She supports people to build coping strategies, improve relationships and manage intense emotions.

Practical tools and clear steps are used alongside time to process feelings. People who choose Samantha often say they want straightforward support, clear ideas to try between sessions, and a counsellor who listens without judgement. She offers therapy in English and can work with international clients by online methods.

How Samantha’s approaches work online

Samantha commonly combines Attachment-Based Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to help people understand relationships and change unhelpful thinking. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape expectations and responses in current relationships, which can help with intimacy, trust and patterns of conflict. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviours to reduce anxiety, low mood and sleep problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Samantha will talk with the person about goals, past experiences and what feels most useful. Together they choose or adapt methods so sessions match the person’s needs and preferences in a collaborative way.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits for this kind of work. Video calls let people read facial cues and have a closer conversational experience, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a lunch break. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for regular check-ins, brief reflections or when writing helps someone organise thoughts. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care and to fit therapy around daily life.
