About Samantha

Samantha Taitt helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, grief and major life changes. She supports clients facing relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, addiction issues, low self-esteem and career uncertainty. Samantha also works with people affected by chronic illness, caregiving stress, ADHD and compassion fatigue. Her practice includes end-of-life and hospice-related counselling as one of the areas she addresses.

Samantha brings six years of online counselling experience across the United Kingdom and Europe, and she also sees international clients. She sees each person as the expert in their own life and builds sessions around their needs. Conversations are collaborative and paced to feel manageable rather than overwhelming.

Her work draws on evidence-based methods such as cognitive behavioural therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy and attachment-based ideas. That means sessions can include practical skills, values-based planning and attention to relationship patterns. Skills practice and short exercises are used to help with day-to-day coping.

Samantha aims to create a non-judgemental space where people can talk things through honestly. She focuses on clear goals and small, achievable steps. Where helpful, she blends approaches to suit the person rather than relying on a single method.

To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange sessions according to the therapist's schedule. Billing is handled via a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

How Samantha’s approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking small actions that align with those values. It can help with anxiety, low mood and motivation by turning values into practical steps. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches concrete skills for managing mood, sleep and unhelpful thinking. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to relationship patterns and how early bonds influence current connections, which can be useful for intimacy issues and grief.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Samantha uses the first sessions to understand your concerns, goals and preferences, and then recommends which methods to try. She adapts techniques from different approaches when that better fits your needs, so therapy is a collaborative process rather than a fixed plan.

The therapist's biography notes that sessions can be offered by video, phone or chat, so please confirm the current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit therapy around work, care commitments or travel, and it often allows for shorter check-ins when a full session isn't needed. Many people find that the flexibility of remote sessions helps them sustain regular work on goals and practice new skills in their everyday life.
