Therapeutic approaches and online support
Samantha uses evidence-informed approaches to help people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, and related concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and developing practical skills to reduce distress and change behaviours; it is often used for anxiety, panic, and sleep difficulties. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises a warm, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship where the client’s perspective guides the work, which can be helpful for building self-esteem, self-love, and communication skills. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports people to clarify values, accept difficult feelings, and commit to actions that align with what matters most, useful for chronic stress and coping with traumatic memories.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Samantha works collaboratively with clients to find the best fit based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors methods and the pace of work to suit each person rather than following a one-size-fits-all model.
Online therapy with Samantha is offered primarily by video and telephone sessions, and she permits messaging between sessions for brief follow-ups. These remote options increase flexibility and make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, or relocation, while still allowing registered professionals to deliver structured, goal-focused care.
