About Samantha

Samantha Taitt is a counsellor with six years' experience offering online support to people dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and life changes. She works with issues such as addictions, eating and sleeping problems, career worries, grief and intimacy-related concerns. She also supports people navigating ADHD, compassion fatigue and LGBT-related challenges, among other difficulties.

Samantha believes clients know their own stories and brings a collaborative, client-centred style to sessions. She aims to make therapy practical and focused, helping people identify strengths and small steps that fit daily life. Conversations are paced to suit each person and to build confidence over time.

Her work draws on a mix of approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, attachment-based ideas and cognitive behavioural techniques. These methods are used to help people notice patterns, try out new ways of coping and clarify personal values.

Sessions are described as calm and non-judgemental, with attention to what a person needs next rather than following a fixed script. Samantha encourages clear goals and practical exercises between meetings when useful.

She offers support to international clients and works in English. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the available times.

Approaches that shape online counselling

Samantha uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy among other approaches. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values, which can be useful for stress, anxiety and motivation. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Samantha takes a collaborative approach and will discuss which methods fit a person’s goals and preferences. Together they decide what to try, review progress and adjust the plan as needed.

The therapist’s original biography mentions video, phone and chat as possible session modes, but readers should confirm current formats before booking. Online appointments can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow short check-ins when needed. Some formats use less bandwidth or do not require being on camera, which can make sessions feel more manageable for busy days.
