About Samantha

Samantha Taitt is a counsellor registered as NCPS with six years' experience working online from the United Kingdom. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, relationship and family concerns, parenting strain, and issues around identity including LGBT matters. She also supports people facing addictions, trauma, grief, sleeping and eating difficulties, ADHD and bipolar concerns.

Samantha uses a collaborative, client-centred style. Sessions are conversational but goal-focused. She listens to what matters most and helps people notice their strengths. Practical strategies and short exercises are often part of the work.

Her background includes methods drawn from cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT). She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at relationship patterns. These approaches are used to address mood, anxiety, loss, and recurring relationship difficulties.

When parents or adult children come for help, Samantha aims to untangle the daily pressure and find doable steps forward. That might mean working on boundaries, sleep and routine, or improving communication at home. She explains tools in simple terms and checks they fit everyday life.

To begin, Samantha asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and then book a first session. She sees clients across the UK and internationally and offers options to suit different schedules and needs.

How sessions work

How her approaches are used in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and life changes where direction and acceptance are needed. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on changing patterns of thinking and behaviour with practical exercises and simple experiments. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating problems. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current relationships and helps people understand and change those patterns. Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, preferences and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they will try out methods and adjust the plan as therapy progresses, keeping things practical and focused on daily life. The biography indicates Samantha offers sessions that can fit into a busy life, but the exact formats should be confirmed before booking. When arranged, online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings around work and parenting commitments, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Ask about available formats and scheduling when you complete the matching questionnaire so sessions can be organised to suit your routine.
