Sam Pitt , BACP

Sam Pitt is a UK-based therapist with more than seven years of professional experience and a prior 19-year career as a frontline medic in central London. That clinical background contributes to a calm, grounded therapeutic presence and a practiced ability to work safely with complex or distressing material.

She focuses on LGBTQ+ related concerns, relationship difficulties, attachment challenges, and trauma, including CPTSD, PTSD, and histories of abuse. Her work is informed by attachment and trauma perspectives, and she places strong emphasis on building trust, emotional safety, and collaboration throughout the therapeutic process.

Sam creates a respectful and compassionate space where people can explore what is bringing them to therapy at a pace that feels manageable. Interventions and the overall plan are tailored to each person’s individual needs, with the goal of supporting meaningful change while helping clients feel more grounded and connected in their day-to-day lives.

Recognising that beginning therapy can feel daunting, Sam aims to make the initial steps as supported and approachable as possible. She holds the BACP credential, which indicates membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy in the United Kingdom.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Sam integrates Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into her online practice. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people understand and change how they relate to others, which can be useful for attachment issues, abandonment concerns, and relationship difficulties. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on providing nonjudgmental, empathic support that helps clients explore their feelings and values at their own pace - it is especially helpful for building self-esteem and working through life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers structured tools to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, and can be effective for anxiety, stress, depression, and coping with everyday challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Sam works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts her work over time so the approach can evolve as progress is made.

Online therapy with Sam is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility to fit therapy around work, family, and other commitments. These options make it easier to access licensed professionals from home or elsewhere, helping people engage consistently with the support they need.
