About Samantha
Samantha Johnson helps people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety or low mood. She welcomes those who are trying to cope with life changes, parenting pressures, or worries about self-esteem and body image. Samantha uses plain talk and practical steps to make therapy feel manageable from the first session.
Samantha trained and holds NCPS, which stands for the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society. She has three years of direct therapy experience and several additional years working in educational settings supporting young people and parents.
Background and approach
That background shaped her practical way of working and her focus on everyday problems. In sessions she blends person-centred listening with cognitive-behavioural techniques. That means she gives space to how someone feels while also suggesting small, practical changes to thinking and routine.
The work often includes learning new coping skills, building self-compassion, and trying different ways to handle stress or panic. Samantha pays attention to problems like attachment issues, caregiver stress, communication difficulties, and the emotional fallout of separation. She also helps people address guilt, shame, isolation, and questions about life purpose and midlife change.
Sessions are adapted to each person’s situation and stage of life. Practical matters such as pregnancy, childbirth, money worries, and parenting strain are taken seriously in her work. Samantha aims to make sessions straightforward and useful, so people leave with ideas they can try between meetings.

Online support
Cognitive-behavioural techniques involve noticing unhelpful thoughts and trying small experiments to change them. Typical work includes simple breathing practices for panic, testing beliefs that fuel low self-esteem, and setting manageable behavioural steps to reduce avoidance. These tools are useful for anxiety, depression and stress-related problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Samantha will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. She adapts the balance between listening and practical tools as sessions progress, so the plan changes with what helps most.
Online formats offer flexibility and practical benefits. Video calls let visual cues guide the work, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit during a short break, live chat works for shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around busy lives.
