Samuel Appiah, NCPS

Samuel Appiah welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, low mood, relationship and intimacy concerns, or major life changes. He introduces himself plainly and recognises how hard it is to reach out for help. Samuel draws on five years of practice to help people find clarity and coping strategies in difficult times.

He combines a warm, person-centred way of working with practical tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). That means conversations that prioritise the person’s experience, alongside exercises and small steps to try between sessions. He also makes use of mindfulness and psychodynamic ideas when these suit a person’s goals.

Samuel has a degree in Counselling and Coaching and holds NCPS as a listed credential. His background includes independent practice and roles in wellbeing settings, which shape a grounded, collaborative style. Sessions aim to be respectful and non-judgemental while focusing on what the person wants to change.

People come for help with a wide range of concerns beyond mood and anxiety, including grief, addiction, parenting stress, body image, attachment questions and career stresses. He also works with issues around kink and alternative sexual culture and with adoption and foster care matters.

Samuel uses a coaching mindset when helpful, setting practical goals alongside space for reflection. He offers a straightforward process: talk, try a manageable step, review what helped, and adjust as needed. This approach helps people build resilience and make steady changes over time.

How Samuel’s approaches translate to online therapy

Samuel often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and try small behavioural changes. CBT gives clear exercises and steps to practice between sessions, which can work well when checking progress remotely.

He also draws on Existential and Jungian ideas to look at meaning, values and personal stories. These approaches encourage reflection about what matters and can help with questions about identity, purpose and deep emotional patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Samuel treats this as a collaborative process and will help clients choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. He adapts tools as needed and reviews what is helping over time.

Please confirm the current online session options before booking, as the biography does not specify formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use written exercises, screen-shared worksheets or audio-guided mindfulness in between meetings to support progress.
