He uses simple tools and steady listening to help people find clearer ways forward. Samuel has five years of experience as a counsellor and coach and holds an NCPS credential.
Background and approach
He has worked in independent practice and in wellbeing settings, giving him a mix of one-to-one and community-focused experience. That background helps him blend reflective listening with hands-on techniques. His approach mixes cognitive behavioural methods with psychodynamic and Jungian ideas, alongside mindfulness and existential perspectives.
In practice that means sessions can include thinking about thoughts and behaviours, exploring personal meaning, and noticing present-moment experience. Samuel adjusts methods to what each person finds useful. Sessions are collaborative and respectful.
He aims to make goals practical and manageable, breaking larger problems into small steps. People often come for coping strategies, clearer decision making, or to work through painful events and patterns. Samuel is comfortable discussing topics such as intimacy, alternative sexual cultures, adoption and attachment concerns, compassion fatigue, and recovery from trauma or substance issues.
He offers English-language support and accepts international clients. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability.

Therapeutic approaches and what online therapy offers
Samuel commonly uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which focuses on spotting unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns and trying small changes to improve mood and daily functioning. It is useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems, and coping strategies.He also draws on Existential Therapy, which helps people talk about meaning, choice and the bigger questions that come up during life transitions. That approach suits people wrestling with purpose, loss or major life change.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss your goals, preferences and what has helped you before, then suggest ways to combine methods. You and the therapist decide together what to try and review how it is going as you progress.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different days and needs. Video calls are good when face-to-face conversation matters, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text messaging helps with ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel while keeping continuity of care.
