About Samuel Fawcett

Samuel Fawcett is a BACP-registered counsellor practicing in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. He draws on personal lived experience of obsessive-compulsive disorder, which first led him into therapy and later inspired his decision to train as a counsellor. That background gives him a distinct understanding of anxiety, OCD and the way those difficulties can affect relationships and self-worth.

Samuel’s clinical work includes exposure and response prevention - a targeted approach for obsessive-compulsive symptoms - alongside elements of cognitive behavioural therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and compassion-focused therapy. He aims to work with the whole person rather than reduce someone to a diagnosis, combining practical strategies for shifting unhelpful behaviours with a focus on values, self-compassion and personal meaning. Samuel has particular experience helping people with attachment and relationship concerns, shame, trauma-related issues and intimacy or sexual difficulties.

In sessions he supports clients to challenge patterns that hold them back while also exploring who they are and what drives them, helping them move toward clearer purpose and greater self-understanding. Samuel’s BACP credential indicates membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, reflecting professional training and adherence to sector standards.

Approaches for Online Support with Anxiety and Relationship Concerns

Exposure and response prevention (ERP) is a focused behavioural method designed to help people gradually face anxiety-provoking thoughts or situations without performing compulsive responses. It is commonly used for obsessive-compulsive symptoms and supports clients in reducing avoidance and ritual behaviours.

Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values and committing to small actions that align with those values. This approach can be helpful for anxiety, obsessive thinking, and finding direction when life feels stuck.

Compassion-focused work encourages gentler self-talk and the development of self-directed kindness, which can reduce shame and harsh self-criticism and support recovery from relationship wounds and attachment difficulties.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. Samuel works collaboratively with each person, exploring needs, goals and preferences alongside the variety of techniques available so that registered professionals and therapists can match methods to what will be most useful for the individual.

Online therapy offers flexible options - video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging - making it easier to fit sessions around work, family and other commitments. These formats can increase access to consistent support and allow therapeutic work to continue from different locations while maintaining the same professional therapeutic relationship.
