About Samantha
Samantha Salmon offers calm, practical support for people struggling with stress, anxiety, relationship strain, trauma and low self-esteem. She writes simply and directly, helping clients talk through what feels overwhelming and build small steps towards change. Samantha presents as steady and encouraging while focusing on the issues that matter most to each person.
Samantha has 12 years of counselling experience in the United Kingdom and holds BACP accreditation. Her work has included supporting people affected by domestic violence and working in employee assistance programmes.
Background and approach
She has also spent time helping young people re-engage with education and community services. In sessions Samantha listens first and asks simple, useful questions to clarify priorities. She uses a mix of client-centred listening, cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness tools to help people manage thoughts, feelings and day-to-day reactions.
Practical problem solving and short-term goal planning are common parts of her approach. Samantha also supports people coping with chronic pain, long-term illness or disability, and those facing life transitions such as divorce or midlife reassessment. She helps with panic attacks, grief, self-harm thoughts and difficulties around sexuality and self-love.
People are offered a collaborative space to work through guilt, shame, loneliness or problems with communication and control. Samantha aims to help people find clearer choices and regain a sense of direction in their lives.

Online support
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Samantha will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and preferences. She listens to goals, tests out simple techniques, and adjusts the plan as progress is made so therapy stays relevant.
Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, giving flexible ways to connect. Video is helpful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone calls can be quicker and need less bandwidth. Live chat and messaging suit short check-ins, written reflection or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and medical appointments.
