About Samantha
Samantha Lawson is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She has completed a year-long placement of over 100 hours and has run a large number of live client sessions. She focuses on addictions, relationships, low self-esteem, depression, coping with life changes, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related problems, sleeping difficulties, career concerns and compassion fatigue.
Her approach draws on several methods rather than a single model. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Client-Centred work, Mindfulness and psychodynamic ideas depending on the issue. Sessions aim to be practical and collaborative, with techniques chosen to match the client's pace and goals.
Samantha works in a way that emphasises clients' own strengths. She helps people notice patterns that get in the way, try small changes, and build clearer choices over time. Conversations look at thoughts, behaviours and feelings alongside personal history when that is useful.
People bring specific problems such as addiction, relationship pain or low motivation. She also supports those dealing with complex themes like attachment issues, body image concerns, caregiver stress, codependency, and domestic violence recovery. Work can cover both immediate coping strategies and longer-term patterns.
Her sessions balance skills practice with reflective discussion. The aim is to make therapy understandable and useful day to day. Before booking, readers should confirm current session formats and practical details.

How her approaches fit with online work
Samantha commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) in her work. ACT focuses on clarifying values and taking small steps in line with what matters, which can help with depression, avoidance and addictive patterns. CBT looks at links between thoughts, behaviours and mood and offers concrete strategies for changing unhelpful patterns, useful for anxiety, sleep and low motivation.She also draws on Client-Centred principles, which centre the client's perspective and pace. That means sessions aim to be collaborative: the therapist and client decide together which methods to try and when to review progress. Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the work itself rather than a one-off decision.
If you want to use online sessions, confirm the specific formats offered before booking. The benefits of remote work include fitting sessions into a busy day, making for shorter check-ins when needed, and reducing travel time. Many people find digital sessions make it easier to build therapy into work or family routines, and the therapist will discuss practical arrangements to suit each person's circumstances.
