About Samantha
Samantha Taitt is a counsellor with six years' experience offering online support to people coping with stress, anxiety, depression and parenting challenges. She works with individuals on self-esteem, career decisions, addictions, grief and intimacy-related concerns. Samantha also helps with sleep and eating difficulties, anger and compassion fatigue.
Her style is collaborative and client-centred. She treats each person as the expert in their own life and builds on existing strengths. Sessions move at a pace the client finds manageable and focus on practical steps as well as reflection.
Background and approach
Samantha draws on a mix of approaches to suit different problems. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to spot thinking patterns and try out new behaviours. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports values-led action when emotions feel overwhelming.
Attachment-based ideas help when past relationships affect current ones, and elements of dialectical behaviour work are offered for managing intense feelings. Samantha blends these methods to create clear, short-term goals and longer-term coping plans. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging for people in the United Kingdom and internationally.
Sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to therapist availability.

Approaches that guide online support
Samantha commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in her online work. ACT helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while identifying what matters most to them and taking small steps in that direction. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and trying practical experiments to change behaviours and improve day-to-day functioning.She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy ideas when past relationship experiences affect current connections. This approach looks at patterns in how people relate and helps build more supported ways of relating in future. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process, and Samantha works together with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences.
Online therapy offers real flexibility. Video calls let people work face-to-face from wherever they are, phone sessions can be a good low-bandwidth option, and live chat or text messaging suit shorter check-ins or clients who prefer writing. These formats make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare and travel, while keeping the focus on practical tools and steady progress.
