About Samantha

Samantha Salmon is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief and low self-esteem. She brings a straightforward, supportive manner and focuses on what each person needs in their life right now. Her approach centres on listening, practical tools and working with the strengths a person already has.

She trained as a BACP practitioner, and has 12 years of professional experience working across several settings.

Background and approach

Samantha has substantial background supporting people affected by domestic violence and has experience in employee assistance programmes. That hands-on work has shaped how she helps people cope with crisis and rebuild routines. Sessions are collaborative and paced to the individual.

Samantha draws on client-centred ways of working to keep the client’s priorities at the centre. She also uses cognitive behavioural ideas to help spot the thinking patterns that keep problems alive and to test small changes in everyday life. Mindfulness techniques are used to help with overwhelming feelings and to increase tolerance for distress.

Solution-focused strategies help people set short-term goals and notice progress between sessions. Together these methods are used to handle issues like panic attacks, chronic pain, and feeling stuck. People can expect clear explanations, short practical exercises, and gentle challenge where needed.

The aim is to leave sessions with something usable for the week ahead and a sense of steps that feel achievable.

How Samantha’s approaches work online

Client-centred work means sessions begin with the person’s priorities. The therapist listens, reflects and helps clients set the agenda so conversations focus on what matters most. This approach helps when someone needs steady support through trauma, grief or relationship issues.

Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions influence each other. Online CBT sessions often include simple experiments and thought records to try between meetings, useful for anxiety, panic and low mood. Mindfulness therapy teaches attention and breathing exercises to reduce distress and increase capacity to cope with difficult feelings.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. Samantha will work together with the client to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. That collaborative planning can be reviewed as things change, so the plan evolves with progress and setbacks.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to provide flexibility. Video is good for face-to-face conversation, phone can be easier when internet bandwidth is limited, and messaging suits brief check-ins or written reflections. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family commitments and different energy levels.
