About Samuel

Samuel Packwood is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of practice. He aims to create a calm space where people can talk about what feels hard. Samuel emphasises understanding each person’s story and helping them feel heard as they work through stress and anxiety.

He often supports people dealing with panic, social anxiety and low self-esteem, and he has experience with trauma and depression. Samuel adapts sessions to what each person needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan.

Background and approach

He describes his style as patient and non-judgemental, offering room to explore feelings at the client’s pace. In sessions Samuel commonly draws on cognitive approaches and related evidence-based techniques to help people spot unhelpful thinking and try new ways of coping.

He works with men on issues that can feel difficult to talk about, and with people facing panic attacks and social fears. His practical focus is on small steps that can make daily life feel more manageable. Samuel describes therapy as a collaborative process.

He listens, reflects, and helps people set goals they find meaningful. Plans are reviewed as things change so sessions stay relevant to the person’s current needs. To start someone selects the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and then schedules sessions according to the listed availability.

The subscription used for sessions can be cancelled at any time.

Focus areas and approaches

Everything Samuel lists on their public professional profile, in their own terms.

Practical approaches and online therapy options

Samuel commonly uses cognitive approaches that help people notice thinking patterns and try new responses. These methods involve identifying unhelpful thoughts, testing them out in day-to-day life, and building alternative ways of coping; they are often used for anxiety and low mood.

He also draws on other evidence-based techniques that focus on managing panic and reducing avoidance. These involve gradual steps to face feared situations and breathing or grounding methods to reduce intense symptoms, which can help with panic attacks and social anxiety.

Finding the right approach is a joint process. Samuel works with people to identify goals and chooses methods that match their situation and preferences. He adjusts plans as progress is made so the work stays relevant and manageable.

Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to make therapy fit around life. Video sessions are useful for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging allows ongoing reflection over time. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, family and travel while keeping continuity of care.
