About Samantha
NCPS. 5 years' experience. Samantha Holt works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, eating concerns, anger, addictions, grief and a wide range of related issues including sleep problems, parenting strain, career stress and ADHD.
Samantha uses approaches that include Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Existential Therapy and Trauma-Focused Therapy. She frames work around relationships and attachment, and pays attention to how past experiences shape current behaviour and emotional responses.
In sessions she offers a straightforward, conversational style. People talk about what is worrying them, how it affects daily life, and practical steps they can try between meetings. She also addresses more complex presentations such as dissociation, personality and attachment-related concerns, and problems arising after domestic violence or sexual violence.
Samantha has five years' experience as a practising counsellor and psychotherapist and holds the NCPS credential. She works with people who have experienced long-term or repeated trauma as well as those facing single-event trauma, and with issues linked to addiction and eating disorders.
The first meetings focus on establishing what the client needs and setting practical goals. Where helpful, therapy looks at patterns in relationships, thoughts and behaviour and tests small changes to reduce distress. Sessions aim to be direct and practical while still allowing time to reflect on meaning and values.
People who want to start are asked to complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session using the service's online booking flow.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current connections and emotional responses. It is often used when people notice recurring relationship patterns, trust difficulties or strong reactions to closeness. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour. It usually involves practical exercises and short experiments to test new ways of thinking and acting, which can help with anxiety, sleep problems and mood symptoms. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and then agree a way of working together. This is a collaborative process and may draw on more than one method depending on what helps. Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm the available options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow quicker check-ins when needed. It can also make some sessions shorter or more flexible to suit work or family commitments.Areas of expertise
