About Samantha
Samantha Johnson is a Person-Centred and Cognitive Behavioural therapist registered with the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS). She has three years' practice as a therapist and additional experience working in educational settings over eight years. She works with stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, low self-esteem, depression and coping with life changes.
Samantha blends Person-Centred values with the practical tools of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. Sessions are conversational and paced to what the person needs. Practical steps and thinking-work are used alongside time to explore feelings. This means there are both listening moments and concrete strategies to try between sessions.
Her background includes a role as a School Mental Health Lead where she worked alongside parents and school staff. That experience informs how she understands family pressures and everyday parenting strains. She also has experience supporting people linked to additional and complex needs through educational settings.
People come to her for help with relationship tensions at home, feelings of overwhelm, panic or low mood, and for support through life transitions such as separation or changes linked to pregnancy and childbirth. She also addresses issues like attachment, body image, guilt, and caregiver stress.
Work with Samantha usually focuses on clear, manageable goals. Practical coping skills are taught alongside reflection on feelings and patterns. Her NCPS registration is stated as NCPS.
How sessions work
Approaches for practical change and emotional understanding
Person-Centred work focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience. It helps when someone needs space to talk through feelings about parenting, relationships or life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviours and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, panic or low mood. These techniques suit people who want structured strategies alongside talking.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together they will choose which methods to try. Sessions can shift over time if different tools or ways of working seem more useful.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, for example by cutting travel time or allowing a shorter check-in during a lunch break. It can also be useful for maintaining continuity when life changes make in-person appointments difficult. Registered or accredited professionals will explain how they plan sessions to suit your schedule and the practical needs you bring.
