Samantha Johnson

Samantha Johnson offers calm, practical support for people feeling alone, overwhelmed or stuck. She creates a warm listening space where clients can talk about anxiety, low mood, parenting pressures and life changes. Samantha uses straightforward tools alongside open listening to help people find clearer ways forward.

Samantha trained in Person-Centred therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, and she holds NCPS (National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society) registration. She began practising in 2020 and brings three years of direct therapeutic experience. Prior to this, she spent over eight years working in education settings, which gave her first-hand experience of the pressures families and carers face.

Her sessions combine empathic listening with practical techniques. Conversations look at unhelpful thinking patterns and at small, manageable changes a person can try between sessions. She adapts the balance of listening and practical work to each person’s pace and needs.

Samantha has worked with concerns such as stress, panic, self-esteem and relationship communication. She also supports people dealing with caregiver stress, body image issues, grief, and feelings of isolation and loneliness. Her approach aims to help people feel heard and gain simple skills for coping.

How Samantha blends talking and practical work online

Samantha combines Person-Centred values with Cognitive Behavioural techniques. Person-Centred work means offering warm, non-judgemental listening so a person can make sense of their feelings. This helps when someone needs space to talk through uncertainty or painful emotions.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on understanding thought patterns and trying practical strategies to change them. It is often used for anxiety, panic and low mood, and can include goal setting, simple experiments and paced exposure to feared situations.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Samantha will discuss preferences, goals and what feels manageable, then adapt the blend of listening and tools over time. Clients help steer the work and try techniques that fit their life and aims.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy routines, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also allows people to keep continuity of care if they move or travel, while the therapist and client agree together how to make sessions most helpful.
