About Sam
Sam Harris is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with three years of experience in the United Kingdom. He works with adults facing stress, anxiety, family difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, and depression. Sam also supports people dealing with addictions, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting strain, and life changes such as career transitions.
In sessions he uses straightforward conversation to help people name what feels overwhelming. He listens for patterns in thinking and behaviour, and explores practical steps that can reduce day-to-day distress. Sam draws on Client-Centred and Solution-Focused methods to highlight strengths and set short-term goals.
When deeper history matters he brings in psychodynamic ideas to look at recurring relationship patterns or feelings of abandonment and attachment issues. He also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy techniques to help people try new ways of thinking and to change habits that worsen anxiety or low mood. Hypnotherapy is available as an option for people interested in focused relaxation and imagery work.
Sam works with common problems linked to chronic illness, caregiver stress, anger, codependency, and difficulties with communication and commitment. He aims to help people manage symptoms like disrupted sleep, low self-esteem, dissociation, or compulsive behaviours by combining talking and practical exercises.
Sessions begin with a short assessment and a discussion of goals. People are encouraged to use the early meetings to see how the approach feels and to adjust focus as needed. Sam offers his practice to adults in the UK and conducts work in English.
Therapeutic approaches and remote working
Sam commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy in online sessions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioural changes to reduce anxiety or low mood. Client-Centred Therapy prioritises the person’s experience and uses reflective listening to help people clarify what matters to them.He also offers psychodynamic perspectives when patterns from past relationships affect present choices. That approach looks at recurring themes such as abandonment or attachment issues and how they show up now. Choosing an approach is collaborative; the therapist will discuss options, try methods in early sessions, and adapt based on your goals and preferences.
The practical aim of remote work is to fit therapy into everyday life. Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online sessions can make it easier to schedule meetings around work or caregiving, allow quieter check-ins that do not require travel, and offer a way to continue work after a major life change. Registered or accredited professionals can help you weigh which approach and format best suit your circumstances.
