About Samantha
Samantha Holt is a counsellor who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship pain and trauma. She also supports those dealing with addiction, eating concerns, grief and the everyday strain of life changes. Samantha works in a straightforward, human way and aims to make the first steps feel manageable for people under pressure.
Her approach places relationships at the centre of therapy. She looks at how early attachments and current relationships shape feelings and behaviour. Sessions involve talking through difficult memories, noticing patterns in relationships, and trying small changes that make life easier day to day.
Samantha trained as a psychologist and psychotherapist and holds NCPS. She brings five years of recent practice working with people facing trauma, anxiety, mood challenges and eating or addiction issues. Her background includes work in health services and the criminal justice setting, which informs how she understands complex stress and trauma responses.
In sessions she aims to create an open, non-judgemental space where thoughts and feelings can be named and explored. Conversations are practical as well as reflective - there is room for feeling things through and for learning new ways to cope. People are supported to set small goals and try different ways of relating to themselves and others.
She is based in the United Kingdom and conducts therapy in English. International clients are accepted. Before booking, clients should confirm current session formats and scheduling options.
How her approaches shape online therapy
Samantha draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early bonds and current relationships affect feelings and behaviour. This approach helps people understand patterns in close relationships and how those patterns show up in day-to-day life.She also uses Client-Centred Therapy, which places the person's experience at the heart of sessions. That means conversations focus on what matters to the client, with the counsellor listening without judgment and reflecting back what is heard.
Deciding which approach to use is a shared process. The therapist will work with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals and preferences. That may mean trying one approach for a while and adapting it if something else seems more helpful.
For online work, confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some formats also work better when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Discussing practical arrangements at the start helps match sessions to a person's life and commitments.
