About Samantha

Samantha Taitt works with people on stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, career concerns, depression and life changes using a collaborative, client-centred approach. She has six years of experience and is registered with the NCPS.

Samantha makes the sessions practical and straightforward. She treats clients as the expert in their own lives and helps them clarify what they want to change. Conversations focus on identifying coping strategies, workable goals and small steps that fit into everyday life.

Her approach draws on cognitive behavioural techniques and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help with unhelpful thoughts and values-based action. She also uses attachment-informed ideas to look at how past relationships affect current patterns.

Samantha offers tools for common issues such as sleep disturbance, eating concerns, anger and relationship difficulties. She also supports people managing chronic illness, caregiving stress, neurodivergent needs and parenting strain.

Sessions are collaborative and aim to build practical skills over time. The focus is on change that can be tried between sessions, reviewed and adjusted. People often work on clear, achievable aims such as reducing anxiety symptoms, improving sleep, or managing urges and cravings.

She works with people from varied backgrounds including those dealing with trauma, grief, addiction, bipolar mood management and intimacy-related issues. Samantha also accepts international clients and offers sessions that can fit around work and family commitments.

How Samantha uses evidence-based approaches online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and problems where avoidance has become a habit.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behaviour that keep problems going, and then testing small changes. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, sleep and eating concerns.

Attachment-based ideas look at how early relationship patterns affect current ways of relating and managing emotions, which can help with intimacy and relationship difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Samantha will talk through different ways of working and agree what to try first, then adjust methods based on progress, goals and preferences.

Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a busy week and to keep continuity while travelling or living abroad. The original biography lists video, phone and chat options, so confirm which formats are available when booking. Online work can make it simpler to use brief practical exercises, regular check-ins and between-session tasks that fit into everyday life.
