About Samantha

Counsellor Samantha Quinn is a BACP member with four years' professional experience working in the United Kingdom. She works with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and coping with life changes, and lists ADHD, addictions, relationship and family concerns among her areas of work.

Samantha uses a mix of practical talking approaches. She draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to look at thinking patterns and on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to focus on values and small changes in behaviour. She also uses client-centred methods to keep sessions focused on what matters to the person sitting in front of her.

Sessions are conversational and aim to break down overwhelming problems into manageable steps. She also works with grief, anger, intimacy-related issues, eating and sleeping problems, and career or parenting pressures. ADHD coaching features in her background and may be used alongside other methods where helpful.

Samantha mentions attachment-based ideas when relationships and early life patterns are affecting how someone feels now. She lists Emotionally-Focused Therapy among her approaches for work that centres on emotional patterns in close relationships. Discussions can include practical coping strategies for day-to-day life as well as exploration of emotions and patterns.

She accepts international clients and runs work in English. Fees vary by location and sessions are arranged through a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To start, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session is scheduled.

How Samantha uses therapy approaches in online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without getting stuck in them, and to choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and when someone wants clearer motivation in day-to-day life.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour. It teaches practical skills for managing worry, low mood, sleep or eating problems by changing unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviours.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns shape current reactions. It can help when difficulties in close relationships, intimacy or attachment issues are causing repeated distress.

Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels manageable, and will work with the client to choose or blend methods. This happens collaboratively rather than as a fixed prescription.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm which formats are offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work or family life, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins where that suits a client. Registered or accredited professionals offering online sessions can adapt their methods to a remote setting, for example using worksheets, focused short exercises or conversational sessions by audio or video depending on the agreed format.
