Samantha Love , NCPS

Samantha Love is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who brings 15 years of clinical experience to work with trauma, childhood abuse, everyday anxiety, family conflict and relationship difficulties. She combines a background in special educational needs - developed through roles in prison education and secondary education - with specialised counselling experience supporting people on the autistic spectrum. This mix of settings has shaped a practical, person-focused style that aims to meet each client where they are.

Samantha follows an integrative approach, drawing on a range of frameworks so interventions match the individual. Her practice commonly uses cognitive behavioural techniques, psychodynamic ideas, mindfulness-based skills and person-centred methods, alongside creative therapy tools that help people feel more at ease when exploring difficult topics. She adapts these methods to address issues such as grief, sleep problems, anger, low self-esteem, bipolar and depression, panic and post-traumatic stress, as well as intimacy and sexual difficulties.

She holds a degree in Psychology and a diploma in therapeutic counselling, and she has experience tutoring counselling students online. Samantha is trained in online and telephone counselling and holds NCPS, a recognised professional counselling credential. She typically replies to inquiries within 24 hours Monday through Friday and accepts international clients, offering practical, collaborative support for people navigating life changes and complex emotional concerns.

Integrative Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support

Samantha commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as part of her online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then identify personal values and take meaningful action - it is often helpful for anxiety, stress and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and teaches practical skills to shift those patterns, which can be useful for depression, panic, and sleep difficulties. She also incorporates Attachment-Based ideas to explore how early relationships shape current patterns - this can support work on intimacy, family issues and relationship repair.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Samantha treats this as a collaborative conversation. She will work with each person to choose or blend approaches based on the client’s needs, goals and communication preferences, adjusting as progress is made.

Online therapy with Samantha is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, providing flexible access for people with busy schedules, mobility limits or who live far from in-person services. These options allow continuity of care across life changes and accommodate different ways of expressing experiences, while enabling licensed professionals to provide structured, evidence-informed support at a distance.
