About Samuel
Samuel Appiah is a counsellor and coach who helps people manage stress, anxiety, low mood, relationship and intimacy concerns, addiction, grief, and changes in life. He brings a calm, non-judgemental presence and practical tools to sessions. Samuel uses his experience to help people build coping skills and regain steadiness when things feel overwhelming.
He combines body-focused work with talking therapies to help people notice how feelings show up in the body.
Background and approach
Somatic approaches are used alongside Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Mindfulness to offer both practical strategies and awareness of physical sensations. This mix supports people who struggle with sleep, anger, self-esteem, or trauma-related reactions. Samuel trained in counselling and coaching and holds NCPS as a listed credential.
He has around five years of practice in personal and wellbeing settings. That background informs a straightforward, respectful style that focuses on what people want to change now. Sessions are collaborative.
He listens first, then offers exercises, breathing practices, or thought-based strategies that match a person’s goals. Conversations aim to be clear and down-to-earth rather than clinical. Samuel accepts people from the United Kingdom and international clients.
He conducts sessions in English and offers a range of online formats to suit different schedules and needs.
How somatic and practical approaches work online
Samuel blends somatic work with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Mindfulness to create a straightforward approach that fits online sessions. Somatic work helps people notice bodily sensations connected to emotions and uses simple practices to regulate those sensations, which can support issues like trauma, anxiety and sleep problems. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours connect and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns, useful for anxiety, depression and anger. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention and breathing skills to reduce stress and improve focus.Finding the right combination of methods is part of the work. Samuel will listen to what matters to each person, try different exercises, and agree together what feels most helpful. That collaborative process aims to match techniques to the client's goals and comfort level rather than imposing a single method.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, which makes it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel. These options let people practise breathing or grounding exercises during the session, review written notes from chats, or use shorter check-in messages between meetings for continuity and flexibility.
