About Samuel

Samuel Appiah is a counsellor and coach who helps people with stress, anxiety, parenting and relationship concerns. He works with issues such as trauma and abuse, addictions, grief, low mood and self-esteem. He also supports people facing career change, sleep or eating difficulties, anger, ADHD and compassion fatigue.

Samuel holds NCPS as a credential and has five years of practice experience in the United Kingdom. Samuel aims for a calm, straightforward style in sessions.

Background and approach

He listens without judgement and treats each person as the expert in their own life. Practical tools from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy are used alongside reflective conversation to help with day-to-day coping and decision making. He frames work around the client’s goals and preferences rather than a fixed programme.

Background and approach: Samuel trained in counselling and coaching and has provided support in independent practice and wellbeing settings. He combines person-centred warmth with a range of approaches, including psychodynamic and mindfulness ideas, to respond to different issues. This blend helps bring immediate strategies as well as deeper exploration when that is helpful.

Samuel pays attention to identity and intimacy-related concerns and can discuss topics such as attachment, adoption and alternative sexual cultures in an affirming way. He also works with complex stressors like domestic violence, addiction and major life transitions, keeping the focus on what the person wants to achieve. Sessions aim to be collaborative and clear.

Samuel offers practical suggestions, reflective questions and short exercises you can try between meetings. The aim is to help people feel steadier, understand patterns that cause distress and build everyday coping skills.

Online support

Approaches that guide online work and practical support

Samuel uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and to develop small, practical changes that reduce anxiety and low mood. CBT often involves short exercises you can try between sessions and clear goals to track progress.

He also draws on Existential Therapy to help clients reflect on meaning, values and life choices when facing big transitions or uncertainty. This approach supports people who want deeper reflection about purpose and long-term direction.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Samuel will talk with clients about their goals and preferences and suggest one or a blend of methods that fit. That choice is made together and can change as needs evolve.

Online therapy here is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to make sessions flexible. Video calls suit those who prefer face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is lower, live chat allows shorter check-ins and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or travel.
