About Samantha

Samantha McEwan is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom who offers support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression and trauma. She works in a direct, empathetic way and aims to make sessions feel manageable for someone who may be worried or overwhelmed. Samantha listens without judgement and helps people talk through what matters to them.

She focuses on understanding what sits behind symptoms, so clients can find clearer ways to cope and move forward.

Background and approach

Sessions are collaborative and paced to suit the individual. In practice she draws on a mix of psychological approaches. Samantha uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to address past hurt and its impact, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people live by their values, and Attachment-Based ideas to look at relationship patterns.

She also uses client-centred and cognitive behavioural techniques where helpful. Her work includes supporting people with relationship and family concerns, parenting stress, eating issues, anger and low self-esteem. She also helps with complex situations such as dissociation, domestic violence effects, chronic illness and compassion fatigue.

ADHD and bipolar are among the areas she notes as within her focus. Samantha has four years of professional experience and holds BACP registration, which is recorded as BACP. She offers online sessions for clients in the UK and internationally, using video calls, phone, live chat and text messaging.

To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and sessions are scheduled according to the usual process.

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

How Samantha blends approaches for online therapy

Samantha uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to help people name and work with painful memories and their ongoing effects. This approach looks at how past events shape current reactions and aims to reduce their hold on daily life.

She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match their values. ACT is often used for anxiety, depression and life transitions where someone wants clearer direction.

Attachment-Based Therapy appears in her work when relationship patterns or early bonds affect current connections. It helps people understand relational habits and practise new ways of relating that feel safer and more effective.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Samantha treats therapy as a collaborative process and will discuss which methods might suit your needs, goals and preferences. She adapts sessions over time if something isn’t helping.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video calls suit deeper conversations and shared exercises, phone sessions work where bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a shorter check-in and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and travel.
