Samantha Taitt, NCPS

Samantha Taitt is a counsellor with six years of experience offering online support to people facing stress, anxiety, depression and a range of related concerns. She works with issues such as self-esteem, relationship difficulties, career worries, eating and sleeping problems, parenting strain, addiction and trauma. Samantha also supports people coping with grief, compassion fatigue and neurodiversity challenges including ADHD and autism. Her style is collaborative and client-centred. She treats each person as the expert in their own life and helps them build on existing strengths. Sessions focus on practical steps you can try between meetings and on gentle reflection about what matters most to you. Samantha draws on a mix of approaches including cognitive behavioural techniques, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-informed ideas. She uses tools from Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and other methods when they fit a person’s needs. The emphasis is on clear skills, short exercises and learning new ways to manage thoughts and feelings. Samantha works with people across the United Kingdom and internationally. Her sessions aim to be accessible and flexible so therapy can fit around work and family life. She encourages slow, steady change rather than quick fixes. If you are unsure where to start she guides the first steps, helps set goals and finds ways to measure progress. The first meetings are used to agree a plan and the practical ways of working that suit you.

How Samantha uses different therapy approaches online

Samantha uses cognitive behavioural therapy to help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and try small behaviour changes. CBT often suits worry, low mood and problems with sleep or motivation. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is used to clarify personal values and to practise skills for living with difficult thoughts and feelings rather than fighting them; this can help with long-term stress and life changes.

She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns in close relationships and intimacy. That approach can be useful when someone wants to understand relationship struggles or repeated patterns of connection and avoidance. Samantha frames all approaches as tools to be tested together rather than fixed rules, and she works with clients to find the right mix based on their needs and preferences.
