Samantha Johnson

Samantha Johnson welcomes people looking for practical help with eating and food-related issues, stress, anxiety, low mood and parenting pressures. She uses clear, down-to-earth language and aims to make sessions feel approachable for worried parents and carers.

Samantha trained as a Person-Centred and Cognitive Behavioural Therapist, and she holds NCPS (National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society) registration. She has been practising since 2020 and brings three years of clinical therapy practice alongside prior experience working in educational settings.

Her sessions blend the warm, listening stance of Person-Centred work with the structured tools of CBT. That means she offers space to talk through feelings, alongside practical strategies to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour.

She also draws on her background supporting children and people with additional needs in schools. That experience informs how she helps parents and individuals manage stress, caregiver strain, and communication challenges at home.

Samantha commonly works with concerns such as anxiety, panic, depression, low self-esteem, body image worries and life transitions including pregnancy and childbirth. She also supports people dealing with grief, guilt, shame and relationship changes such as separation.

To begin, clients follow an online matching process and schedule sessions based on availability. Fees vary with location and a subscription model is used that can be cancelled at any time.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online support

Person-Centred work focuses on being listened to without judgement and feeling understood. Online sessions using this approach let a person talk through worries about eating, parenting or life transitions while the counsellor reflects and validates their experience.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) offers structured techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviours. In practice this can include simple exercises to spot thinking patterns, brief behavioural experiments and practical coping strategies for anxiety, panic or body image concerns.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. Samantha will discuss goals and preferences with each person and suggest ways of combining listening and skills-based work. This is a collaborative process and will be revisited as therapy progresses.

The original biography does not list which session formats are provided. Please confirm the available online or in-person options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they can fit therapy around school runs, work breaks or caregiving duties, avoid travel time and choose quieter times of day. Others prefer different arrangements; Samantha will help explore what fits practical needs and energy levels.
