About Sam

Sam Pitt helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship strain and issues around identity and trauma. She works in a calm, steady way and aims to make first steps into therapy feel manageable. Sam is a BACP counsellor with seven years' professional experience in therapeutic work.

Her early career included many years as a frontline medic in central London, which shaped a steady, practical approach to difficult material. That background gives her experience of supporting people through emergencies and highly stressful situations.

Background and approach

Sam uses approaches that pay attention to how people form emotional bonds and tell the stories of their lives. She draws on attachment-informed ideas and cognitive methods to help people notice patterns and try different ways of reacting. Sessions are tailored to the person rather than following a fixed script.

People come for help with trauma and abuse, mood problems like depression and anxiety, addiction, anger, self-esteem and life changes. She also supports those navigating relationship and communication problems, identity issues including LGBT concerns, and challenges linked to ADHD and attachment difficulties. Work with Sam aims to build trust, increase emotional safety and develop practical skills for everyday life.

Conversations are collaborative and paced to what feels manageable for the client. The goal is clearer understanding and steady, usable change rather than quick fixes.

Online support

Sam commonly uses attachment-informed methods and cognitive behavioural techniques in online sessions. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current bonds and helps people build more supported ways of relating, useful for relationship problems and attachment issues. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing different behaviours to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels helpful, and then tailor the mix of approaches to the client's needs. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, which make therapy more flexible. Video mimics face-to-face contact, phone calls can fit into a lunch break, live chat suits short check-ins, and messaging allows ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help people access therapy around work, family commitments or mobility needs and make it easier to keep continuity of care.
