Samantha Holt, NCPS

Samantha Holt helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, grief or big life changes. She works with adults struggling with relationship problems, trauma and abuse, eating difficulties, addiction and mood conditions such as depression and bipolar. Samantha uses clear, practical conversation to help people find steadier ways of coping.

Samantha is listed with NCPS, which stands for National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society. She has five years' experience in this role and practised in the United Kingdom. Sessions focus on the person in front of her and the issues that matter most to them.

Her approach draws on attachment-based work that looks at how early relationships affect current patterns. She also uses client-centred methods that place the person's experience at the heart of each session. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is used when people want to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours.

In practice Samantha offers a calm and direct style. She helps people talk through painful memories and difficult feelings without judgement. Together they set small, realistic goals and test out new ways of coping between sessions.

People come to Samantha for help with sleep disruption, intimacy-related problems, parenting strain, compassion fatigue and career stress. She also supports people dealing with attachment issues, dissociation, substance problems and the aftermath of domestic or sexual violence. Her work is practical and rooted in the concerns people bring each week.

How Samantha's approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns of relating. Online sessions can be used to notice how people react in close relationships and practise new ways of responding. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person's experience. That approach helps people feel heard and supported while they talk through difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy targets specific thoughts and behaviours with practical tasks and experiments between sessions to build new habits.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Samantha will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their needs and goals. She adapts techniques as the work unfolds so sessions remain relevant and manageable.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, or avoiding the need to be on camera when that feels difficult. Registered or accredited professionals can use similar therapeutic tools online, and many people find meaningful progress when therapy fits into their everyday routine.
