About Samantha
Samantha Lawson is a counsellor with four years of professional experience and a BACP membership. She has worked extensively in online settings and has supported people through addiction, relationship strain, low motivation, low self-esteem and depression. She uses an integrative way of working, drawing on a few different therapeutic approaches rather than one single method.
Sessions are collaborative and paced to each person, with a focus on practical steps and small changes that fit into everyday life.
Background and approach
Samantha helps people name and use their own strengths when things feel overwhelming. She listens for patterns that keep causing distress and helps clients practise new ways of responding to difficult thoughts and feelings. Her work covers a wide range of concerns including coping with life changes, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, sleep problems and career stress.
She also takes a focused approach to issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, body image and codependency. In sessions she mixes approaches like cognitive methods, acceptance-based practices and client-centred listening to suit what each person needs. That might mean learning new coping skills, trying mindfulness exercises, or talking about past patterns that still affect day-to-day life.
People who prefer a straightforward, collaborative style tend to find her approach useful. She aims to create clear goals, practical tools and a steady process for making change over time.

Online support
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on being heard and understood. The therapist listens without judgment and supports the person to find their own answers, which can help when self-esteem or relationship issues feel stuck.
Samantha will work with each person to find which approach or combination fits best. This is a collaborative process where goals and methods are reviewed and adapted as progress is made and priorities change.
Online sessions offer flexibility to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments. Video calls let you work face-to-face from different locations, phone sessions can be useful when video is not needed, and chat or text-based messaging supports shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to maintain regular work on goals and to try different formats until the right fit is found.
