About Samantha
Psychologist and psychotherapist (NCPS) with five years' experience. Samantha Holt focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, eating concerns, addictions and mood difficulties. She works with people facing grief, parenting strain, sleep problems, career pressure, ADHD and related issues. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients.
Samantha approaches emotional and relational problems through attachment-based and client-centred ways. She uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and trauma-focused work where appropriate. In practical terms this means helping people understand patterns in their relationships, notice unhelpful thoughts and try different ways of coping. Sessions aim to be straightforward and focused on everyday changes.
Her background includes work in the NHS and the criminal justice system over many years, with experience in inpatient and outpatient settings. That work included acute and chronic stress, post-traumatic symptoms, complex trauma, eating disorders, anger management and addictions. She has worked with people who have experienced domestic and sexual violence and with a range of personality and attachment difficulties.
In a session Samantha listens without judgement and helps people name what is causing distress. She checks what the person hopes to change and then uses practical strategies and conversational reflection. The emphasis is on clear steps people can try between sessions and reviewing what helps.
People choosing to work with her will find an approach that blends talking therapies with concrete skills. Samantha supports people who want to understand how past events and relationship patterns affect daily life, and who want direct, manageable ways to respond differently.

How her approaches work in online sessions
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships affect current behaviour and expectations. Online sessions using this approach help people notice patterns in relationships and try different responses to improve connection and boundaries.Client-centred therapy places the person's experience at the core. In remote sessions this means the counsellor reflects what the person says and helps them find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviours. CBT is useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and coping with change.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and then recommend which methods to try. This is a collaborative process with regular check-ins to see what is helping.
The biography does not specify session formats here. Please confirm current session options before booking so you can pick what fits your routine. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or travel, allow shorter check-ins when needed and avoid travel time, which helps people maintain continuity of care.
