About Samantha
Samantha Lawson is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She completed a year-long placement with more than 100 clinical hours and has carried out over 1,000 live sessions on an online platform supporting people with addiction, relationship strain, low motivation, self-esteem concerns and depression.
Samantha works in a practical, straightforward way. She draws on several approaches and picks techniques that fit the person in front of her. Sessions focus on what matters most right now and on small, achievable steps people can try between meetings.
Her background includes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, psychodynamic ideas, mindfulness work and client-centred practice. That mix means she can look at thoughts and behaviours, patterns from the past, and how people want to act differently going forward.
People often come to Samantha when they feel stuck after a life change, when intimacy or communication causes pain, or when sleep and mood are affected by stress. She also supports those dealing with caregiver strain, codependency, body image or difficulties linked to trauma and abuse.
In sessions she aims to help people notice strengths, name unhelpful patterns, and test out new ways of coping. The focus is on practical tools and clearer thinking so decisions about next steps feel less overwhelming.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Samantha uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and to clarify what matters to them. This approach can be useful for people wrestling with motivation, low mood or ongoing worry.She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical strategies to break unhelpful cycles. CBT can help with sleep problems, anxiety and depressive patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Samantha treats therapy as a collaborative process and will help figure out which methods match a person’s goals and preferences. She adapts techniques over time as needs change.

Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time.
