About Samantha
Samantha Taitt is a UK-based counsellor with six years of experience offering online support for common and complex concerns. She helps people cope with stress and anxiety, depression, sleep and eating problems, low self-esteem, career worries, addictions and grief. She also supports those facing intimacy issues, trauma and compassion fatigue, and people exploring LGBT or parenting-related strain.
Samantha uses a collaborative, client-centred style that treats the person as the expert in their life.
Background and approach
Sessions are practical and paced to suit each person. She listens, reflects, and helps clients try out small changes between sessions. Her work draws on body-aware methods alongside psychological approaches.
Somatic techniques invite attention to physical sensations that often hold stress. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions to find manageable steps forward. Samantha also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and attachment-informed ideas to help people notice what matters most and build more connected relationships.
These approaches aim to increase psychological flexibility and clearer emotional understanding. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to suit different needs. Samantha works with people across the UK and internationally, and sessions are conducted in English.
To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability.
How Samantha blends approaches for online therapy
Samantha uses Somatic-informed work to help people notice how stress shows up in the body and to learn simple ways to regulate physical responses. This can be useful for anxiety, trauma-related tension, sleep problems and chronic stress.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) which helps people clarify their values and take small committed actions even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. ACT is often used for anxiety, depression and life transitions.
Attachment-based ideas inform her way of looking at relationship patterns and emotional connection. These ideas help people understand how early connection styles can affect present relationships and intimacy concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Samantha will discuss options with each person and collaboratively choose methods that match goals, preferences and practical needs. She adapts technique and pace over time as progress and challenges become clearer.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls let people meet face to face from home, while phone sessions suit those who prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging provide shorter, more frequent check-ins or an option for people who find typing easier. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and travel.
