About Samantha

Samantha Johnson helps people manage stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, low self-esteem and depression using person-centred work combined with cognitive behavioural techniques. She is a member of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS) and has three years' practice since starting in 2020.

Samantha blends person-centred values with structured cognitive behavioural approaches. Sessions involve talking through thoughts and feelings, and practising practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. She offers straightforward tools people can use between meetings to manage panic, mood dips or overwhelming days.

She has experience supporting children and adults and has worked in educational settings for over eight years. That background includes roles supporting pupils with additional needs and advising parents and school staff on emotional wellbeing. Those roles shaped how she notices stress responses and communication patterns in daily life.

With adults she works on issues such as emotional overwhelm, low self-esteem, grief, relationship concerns, trauma and personal development. For parents she offers help with the strains of raising children, caregiver stress and communication problems within families. She also supports people coping with life changes like divorce, midlife reassessment or pregnancy and childbirth adjustments.

Samantha lists other focus areas including attachment issues, body image, guilt and shame, isolation and money-related stress. Her NCPS registration is noted as her professional credential. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange a first session.

How Samantha uses evidence-based approaches and online work

Person-Centred counselling focuses on listening without judgement and helping a person make sense of their feelings. It supports clearer self-understanding and can help with low self-esteem, grief and relationship concerns.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and teaches practical skills to change them. It is often used for anxiety, panic, low mood and stress management by breaking problems into manageable steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Samantha will discuss goals and preferences and agree a way of working together. That means trying techniques, reviewing progress and adjusting the focus if needed in a collaborative way.

The therapist's biography does not specify which session formats are used, so please confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people continue work with a registered professional from different locations, including international clients where applicable.
