About Sam

Sam Pitt is a counsellor who aims to help people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood or painful past experiences. She offers a calm, steady presence and practical support so people can start to feel more in control. Sam makes space for people to move at their own pace and to talk about what matters most to them.

She has seven years of professional experience alongside many years working as a frontline medic in central London.

Background and approach

That background contributes to a measured approach when difficult or traumatic events come up in sessions. Sam draws on trauma-informed and attachment-aware ideas to help people rebuild a sense of safety and connection. Sam uses a mix of approaches depending on the person and the problem.

Sessions can include talking through patterns from past relationships, looking at how thoughts affect feelings, and developing clearer ways to communicate. She pays attention to emotional safety and to practical changes people can try between sessions. Sam works with a wide range of concerns, including LGBT issues, relationship problems, addiction, anger, self-esteem and coping with life changes.

She also supports people dealing with ADHD-related challenges, body image and attachment difficulties. Her style is respectful, collaborative and down-to-earth. For someone taking the first step, Sam tries to make the start straightforward.

The focus at the beginning is on understanding immediate worries, setting clear goals, and agreeing simple tasks that feel manageable. Over time the work is reviewed and adjusted to suit each person.

Ways of working Sam names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How these approaches translate to online therapy

Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people name and work through distressing memories in small, manageable steps. It is often used when past events continue to cause strong reactions and daily difficulties.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. In sessions this can mean noticing how trust, closeness and boundaries play out now and practising different ways of relating to others.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Sam will talk with a person about their goals, hopes and preferences and then try methods that fit those aims. This is a collaborative process and plans are reviewed as therapy progresses.

Online formats support flexible access to therapy. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when seeing expressions matters. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, note-taking or people who find writing easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit sessions around work, travel and daily life while still using recognised therapeutic approaches.
