Samantha Ryan, BACP

Samantha Ryan offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can explore their lives at a pace that feels right for them. She works in a person-centred, trauma-informed way that honours each person’s story and recognises the strength it has taken to reach this point. Her work places particular emphasis on supporting survivors of childhood sexual abuse and survivors of domestic abuse, helping clients to rebuild a sense of safety, trust, and connection with who they are beneath their experiences.

Samantha combines thoughtful listening with practical support to help people process difficult thoughts and feelings and to recognise moments of growth and change. She brings experience from a range of settings, including four years with a charity supporting survivors of childhood sexual abuse, a year working with people affected by cancer in a hospital, and a year providing counselling at a women’s centre. Alongside volunteer work she works in private practice from a therapy room in England and also offers reiki as part of her healing work. She has also provided counselling through online services.

Samantha holds BACP, which indicates membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom. With ten years of clinical experience, she supports people with issues such as stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, self-esteem concerns, depression, addictions, grief, parenting challenges, and many other life changes. She meets clients with empathy, honesty, and respect, walking alongside them through difficult moments and marking progress as it appears.
