Samantha Love, NCPS

Samantha Love helps people who are facing relationship strain, trauma, anxiety and major life changes. She writes plainly and listens closely. Her approach aims to make conversations feel manageable for someone under stress. Samantha has 15 years of experience and holds NCPS. She trained in psychology and completed a diploma in therapeutic counselling. She has worked in prison education and secondary education, and has experience supporting people on the autistic spectrum. Her way of working is integrative. She draws on cognitive behavioural techniques, person-centred listening, mindfulness and psychodynamic ideas to match what each person needs. Sessions often include practical steps to reduce anxiety and clearer ways to think about difficult feelings. Creative exercises are sometimes used to help people express things that are hard to say. She also uses approaches that look at attachment and emotions to help with relationship and intimacy concerns. Trauma, childhood abuse, bereavement and post-traumatic stress are among the areas she addresses. Samantha has tutored counselling students online and is a member of professional bodies including the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapists and the National Counselling Society. She aims to respond to enquiries within 24 hours Monday to Friday. Clients can expect calm, straightforward sessions that focus on what matters to them. Practical tools, gentle reflection and a tailored mix of therapeutic methods are combined to support coping, improve sleep, and restore a sense of direction.

How Samantha’s approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and then commit to actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression and coping with life changes. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people name and change emotional responses to feel more connected. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches specific ways to shift thinking and behaviour to reduce panic, worry and low mood.

Finding the right way of working is part of the process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and then decide together which approaches to use. This collaborative planning means methods are tried out and adjusted to suit how a person responds.

Session formats are not listed here, so please confirm the current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow a shorter check-in when needed. It also lets people use tools such as screen-sharing worksheets or guided breathing exercises during a session. Registered and accredited professionals can adapt exercises to work well through remote sessions, helping clients build practical skills that carry over into daily life.
