Samantha Salmon
Compassionate practical support for stressful times
About Samantha
Samantha Salmon works with people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma, grief and struggles with self-esteem. She introduces herself simply and listens first. The tone is calm and practical so families and individuals can focus on small, steady steps forward.
Samantha uses clear, down-to-earth conversation to help people make sense of painful feelings. She draws on person-centred ways of working that place the client’s experience at the centre of sessions.
Background and approach
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy ideas are used when helpful to spot patterns and try new ways of coping. She has 12 years of professional experience in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration. That background has included work with domestic abuse and employment assistance programmes.
These roles shaped her focus on practical problem solving and safety planning where needed. Samantha pays attention to the whole picture, including long-term health concerns such as chronic pain or illness. She also supports people dealing with communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, and feelings of isolation or shame.
Sessions aim to help people find clearer thinking and calmer responses. Her approach is collaborative and solution-focused when appropriate, so clients leave with simple strategies they can try between meetings. Samantha encourages clients to set realistic goals and reviews progress in a straightforward way.
She offers sessions in English using a range of online formats to fit different needs.

Approaches for online therapy and how they help
Samantha uses client-centred therapy which focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person in front of her. This approach helps people feel heard and notice their own strengths as they work through difficult emotions.She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, a practical method that looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. CBT ideas can help with anxiety, panic, low mood and repetitive negative thinking by testing small changes and building new habits.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Samantha will work together with each client to decide which methods fit best for their needs, goals and preferences. The plan can be adjusted as progress is made and new priorities emerge.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for people balancing busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation without travel, phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option, and live chat or text messaging suit shorter check-ins or those who prefer not to use video. These formats make it easier to fit regular sessions around work, caregiving or mobility limits, while still using person-centred and CBT-based techniques in a collaborative way.
