Samantha Love , NCPS

Samantha Love works with people facing trauma, childhood abuse, everyday anxiety, family conflict and relationship difficulties, drawing on a broad set of therapeutic skills to support recovery and emotional growth.

She brings practical experience from special educational needs roles in both prison education and secondary education, where she worked as a counsellor and developed a particular specialism in supporting people on the autistic spectrum. That background informs her ability to adapt therapeutic work to different learning styles and life circumstances.

Samantha follows an integrative approach, combining techniques from cognitive behavioral, psychodynamic, mindfulness-based and person-centred therapies in ways that suit each individual client. She also uses creative methods to help people feel more at ease when exploring difficult material, tailoring interventions to strengths and preferences rather than applying a single fixed model.

Her academic training includes a degree in Psychology and a diploma in therapeutic counselling, and she has experience tutoring counselling students online. She is trained in online and telephone counselling and aims to respond to inquiries and communications within 24 hours, Monday to Friday.

Therapeutic Approaches for Accessible Online Care

Samantha draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy to guide online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and learn ways to stay present while taking values-based action - it is often useful for anxiety, stress and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in relationships and early bonds, helping clients understand how attachment styles affect current relationships and emotional responses, which is helpful for couples work, family issues and intimacy concerns.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Samantha works with each person to explore goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, adapting methods over time so the therapy fits the client rather than forcing a single model.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video, phone, live chat or text messaging allow people to fit therapy around work, family and mobility needs. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care across locations and to choose the communication style that feels most comfortable for the individual.
