Samuel Appiah helps people facing stress, anxiety, low mood and major life changes. He supports those dealing with relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, addiction, grief and self‑esteem. Samuel also offers coaching around career questions and coping with compassion fatigue or ADHD.
He works with a broad range of issues including body image, attachment concerns and trauma-related difficulties. Samuel brings five years of professional experience as a counsellor and coach.
Background and approach
He holds the NCPS credential and a degree in counselling and coaching. His background includes working in independent practice and in wellbeing settings where he offered short and ongoing support to people with varied needs. His style is collaborative and down to earth.
Samuel centres what the person already knows about their life and helps build practical ways to manage symptoms and make choices. He uses conversation, reflective listening and concrete tools to help people try things between sessions. Samuel draws on a mix of approaches to match individual needs.
He blends Cognitive Behavioural Therapy - which looks at thoughts and behaviours - with existential and Jungian ideas about meaning and identity. He also uses mindfulness and psychodynamic thinking to uncover patterns that affect daily life. Sessions aim to be straightforward and goal oriented when useful, and more exploratory when people want to understand deeper patterns.
Samuel frames therapy as a collaborative process where the person sets the pace and direction. He works in English and accepts international clients for online work.
Approaches that guide online work and practical support
Samuel uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours; this works well for anxiety, low mood and sleep or eating difficulties. He also draws on Existential Therapy to help people face big questions about meaning, purpose and commitment when life transitions or identity concerns feel overwhelming.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Samuel will collaborate with clients to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. That might mean starting with practical CBT tools and then moving into more exploratory psychodynamic or Jungian thinking if people want to understand recurring patterns.
Online sessions are available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is useful for deeper conversations and reading non-verbal cues, phone calls can fit into a busy day and need less bandwidth, live chat suits quick check-ins, and messaging lets people reflect in writing between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family commitments and different time zones.
