About Samuel
Samuel Murphy offers a calm, person-centred approach to therapy. He focuses on understanding each person as an individual and helping them make practical changes. Samuel speaks plainly and aims to create a space where people can talk things through and find clearer direction.
He draws on Client-Centred Therapy to help people understand how past experiences shape current feelings and choices. Sessions emphasise listening, empathy and working at a pace that feels manageable.
Background and approach
Samuel helps people build emotional awareness and learn ways to cope with stress and anxiety. People come to him for issues such as grief, depression, coping with life changes and ADHD. He also focuses on concerns like control issues, impulsivity, isolation and communication problems.
There is attention given to more specific areas such as attachment difficulties, autism and obsessive-compulsive behaviours. Samuel has three years of professional experience and holds NCPS as a credential. He works with adults in the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English.
His background includes supporting people through life transitions and long-standing mood and anxiety concerns. Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. The process is straightforward: a short matching questionnaire helps pair people to a suitable therapist, then scheduling follows.
Samuel aims to help people feel less stuck and more able to make choices that reflect who they want to be.

Approaches Samuel lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
In practice Samuel aims to help people notice patterns that keep them stuck and to try new ways of responding. The work is collaborative - goals, pace and methods are agreed together so the approach fits the person’s needs and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls are useful for a face-to-face feel and fuller conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to use video. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins, quick adjustments and people who find writing easier than speaking.
Choosing the right format is part of the process. Samuel will discuss options and help find what fits your routine, comfort and goals so therapy can slot into everyday life.
