About Samuel

Samuel Fawcett works with stress, anxiety, relationship and intimacy-related issues using approaches he names in his biography. He is a BACP counsellor with three years of professional experience in the United Kingdom. He draws on personal experience of obsessive compulsive disorder to inform his work with related concerns.

He uses exposure and response prevention work alongside elements of cognitive behavioural therapy. He also uses acceptance and commitment ideas and compassion-focused approaches when these suit a person. He says he aims to help people challenge behaviours that hold them back and to look at what matters to them in life.

Samuel describes a practical and person-focused style. Sessions typically involve talking through current problems, noticing patterns, and trying small changes between appointments. He pays attention to feelings like shame, guilt and issues around attachment and intimacy.

He lists particular focus on OCD, anxiety, social phobia, sexual dysfunction, infidelity and relationship difficulties. He also works with questions of life purpose, forgiveness and self-love, and offers support for men’s issues.

Samuel welcomes a collaborative approach to planning therapy. He aims to agree goals and methods with each person and to adapt what they try if it does not help. He asks prospective clients to confirm current session options before booking.

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work

Samuel describes two main approaches he uses: exposure and response prevention and elements of cognitive behavioural therapy. Exposure and response prevention involves facing feared thoughts or situations in a planned way while reducing the safety behaviours that keep anxiety going; it is often used for obsessive compulsive symptoms. Cognitive behavioural elements focus on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments to change unhelpful patterns.

He also draws on acceptance and commitment ideas and compassion-focused work to help people live by their values and to respond differently to self-criticism. These approaches aim to widen what someone can do in life rather than only reduce symptoms. Samuel emphasises working together to choose which methods suit the person and their goals, and he adjusts plans if an approach does not feel helpful.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling around work and family commitments, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals often offer remote sessions because they can help people keep a thread of support while managing everyday demands.
