About Samuel

Samuel Murphy offers a calm, non-directive approach rooted in client-centred therapy. He helps people talk through stress, anxiety, grief, depression and life changes in an open, respectful way. Samuel uses simple, practical conversation to help clients understand themselves more clearly and make small changes that add up.

He explains client-centred work plainly: the client sets the pace and the therapist reflects back what is heard. That approach suits concerns like anxiety, feeling stuck, low mood, grief and attention challenges such as ADHD.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on building self-understanding and clearer ways of coping. Samuel has three years of counselling experience and holds the NCPS credential. He has supported people dealing with obsessions and compulsions, attachment issues, isolation and relationship difficulties such as communication and commitment problems.

He also offers help with life-purpose questions and men’s issues. Practical problems such as control issues, impulsivity, jealousy and emptiness are addressed through steady, focused conversation. Samuel also engages with neurodiverse presentations including autism and Asperger Syndrome, and with challenges linked to blended family dynamics or a cancer diagnosis.

Sessions are offered in English and are provided across video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Samuel works from the United Kingdom and does not accept international clients. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability.

How client-centred therapy works online

Client-centred therapy is built around the idea that the client knows what matters most. The therapist listens carefully, reflects what is said and helps people find their own insights. This approach is useful for issues like anxiety, low mood, grief and life-direction questions because it focuses on the person’s experience rather than on labels.

For attention-related challenges and ADHD, the client-centred approach gives space to talk about what feels difficult in day-to-day life. Conversations can uncover practical adjustments and coping ideas that fit the individual’s routine. Samuel aims to tailor sessions to each person’s goals and preferences through a collaborative process that tests what helps.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will check in about what methods feel useful and adjust as therapy progresses. This is a joint process that relies on open communication about goals, pace and what is working.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and longer conversations. Phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited or for a simple check-in. Live chat and text messaging suit brief updates, ongoing reflection or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make therapy more flexible for different schedules and situations.
