About Samantha Love
Samantha Love brings fifteen years of professional experience supporting people through trauma, childhood abuse, relationship difficulties and everyday anxiety. She combines practical strategies for managing stress and anxiety with longer-term work on self-esteem, grief, family dynamics and intimacy-related concerns, adapting her approach to each person she sees.
Samantha has worked in special educational needs (SEN) roles within prison education and secondary education settings and has counselling experience in both environments. She has a particular specialism in supporting people on the autistic spectrum and has worked extensively with clients affected by abuse, dissociation, panic and other trauma-related difficulties.
Her practice is integrative, drawing on a range of counselling frameworks so treatment can be tailored to individual needs. She commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thinking and behaviour, psychodynamic ideas to explore patterns from the past, mindfulness-based methods to build present-moment coping, and person-centred work to create a nonjudgmental space for exploration. Creative therapy techniques are also used when they help people feel more at ease and express difficult material in different ways.
Samantha holds a degree in Psychology and a diploma in therapeutic counselling. She lists NCPS among her credentials and is a member of the BACP (British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists), the NCS (National Counselling Society) and ACTO (Association for Counselling and Therapy Online). She is trained in online and telephone counselling and has tutored counselling students online. Samantha aims to respond to inquiries and communications within 24 hours, Monday to Friday. Clinic hours typically include weekday mornings and evenings on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, with Saturday afternoon availability; further details can be found at samanthalovecounselling.com.

Therapeutic approaches available online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is an approach that helps people clarify their values and take committed action toward a meaningful life while learning skills to handle difficult thoughts and feelings. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviours to reduce symptoms of depression, panic and anxiety and to improve day-to-day functioning. Client-Centered Therapy prioritises the client's own pace and perspective, offering empathy and nonjudgmental support to strengthen self-awareness, self-worth and emotional processing.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Samantha works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, adapting techniques over time so the work feels relevant and manageable.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, family and other commitments, and allow people to engage from locations that suit them while maintaining continuity of care with registered professionals and therapists.
