About Samantha
Samantha Johnson welcomes people who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, low mood or difficult life changes. She offers a calm, warm space to talk things through and to work out practical steps forward. Samantha uses clear, down-to-earth language and aims to make therapy feel manageable for someone juggling family and day-to-day demands.
She trained as a Person-Centred and Cognitive Behavioural Therapist, and the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS) is listed as her credential. Samantha began practising in 2020 and has three years of therapy experience alongside longer work in education settings supporting children and school communities.
Her approach combines person-centred values with the structure of cognitive behavioural techniques. In practice that means listening first, then helping people notice thought patterns and try small, practical changes. Sessions often focus on breathing and grounding for panic, simple behavioural experiments, and ways to reduce daily stressors.
Samantha has experience supporting children and young people, and she has worked with parents and school staff in educational roles. That background informs how she explains ideas to carers and to people who need straightforward, usable tools.
People describe her style as warm and down-to-earth, with an emphasis on safety and ethical practice. The therapeutic work is tailored to individual goals, whether that is managing panic, building self-esteem, or navigating a life transition.
Approaches and how online therapy can help
Samantha brings together Person-Centred work and Cognitive Behavioural methods to help people manage anxiety and panic. Person-Centred work focuses on creating a non-judgemental space where feelings can be named and understood, which can reduce overwhelm and make it easier to think clearly. Cognitive behavioural techniques look at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and use simple experiments and skills to reduce anxiety symptoms, including breath work and grounding for panic.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Samantha will work with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences, and she will adapt strategies as progress is reviewed. The emphasis is on small, practical steps you can try between sessions and on checking what is useful for you.
The therapist's biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow brief check-ins when a longer session is not possible. It can also make certain exercises easier to practise at home and help people maintain continuity of care across distances.
