Samuel Fawcett is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. He came to the role through his own lived experience of obsessive compulsive disorder, which shapes his understanding of anxiety and related struggles. Samuel offers a calm, direct approach that focuses on practical steps and personal meaning.

Samuel commonly helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety and relationship or intimacy-related issues. He also works with attachment concerns, guilt and shame, difficulties after infidelity, and questions about life purpose.

Background and approach

His practice includes support for men’s issues, self-love, sexual dysfunction, and obsessive compulsive symptoms. In sessions he combines behavioural work with approaches that emphasise acceptance and compassion. That mix lets him address unhelpful habits while also attending to the emotional side of problems.

He aims to help people challenge behaviours that hold them back and build a clearer sense of who they are. Samuel says some people feel alienated by behavioural methods, so he adapts his style to suit each person. He treats the whole person rather than only a diagnosis and works at a pace people can manage.

His tone is practical and empathetic; he focuses on small, achievable changes. People who want straightforward help with obsessive thoughts, anxiety, relationship strain or shame often find his background and approach useful. He offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to fit different needs and schedules.

Approaches that suit online therapy

Samuel uses a blend of behavioural work and acceptance-based approaches. Behavioural techniques involve gradual, guided practice to reduce compulsive responses and anxiety in everyday situations. This is useful for people experiencing obsessive thoughts and compulsive rituals. Acceptance-focused work encourages noticing thoughts and feelings without fighting them, which can help with chronic worry and social anxiety.

Samuel also draws on compassion-focused ideas that help people treat themselves more kindly. That approach addresses shame, guilt and low self-worth by building a gentler inner voice and practical self-support strategies. Finding the right mix is part of the process; he works collaboratively with each person to choose what fits their goals and comfort level.

Online formats make this flexible. Video calls let people work face to face from wherever they are, which is useful for deeper conversational work and role play. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit those who prefer written reflection, want brief check-ins between sessions, or find it easier to express themselves in writing. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and homework to each format so therapeutic progress continues across sessions.
