Sam Pitt, BACP

Sam Pitt is a UK-licensed therapist with more than seven years of professional experience and a background of 19 years working as a frontline medic in central London. This combination of clinical practice and emergency care has helped shape a calm, grounded therapeutic presence and the capacity to work safely with complex or distressing material.

She specialises in LGBT issues, relationship difficulties, attachment-related challenges, and trauma, including CPTSD, PTSD, and experiences of abuse. Her practice is informed by attachment and trauma perspectives, with an emphasis on building trust, emotional safety, and collaborative work. Sam tailors interventions to each person’s needs, drawing on a range of clinical approaches to support meaningful change and greater emotional stability.

Sam is registered with the BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, which is a professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists in the United Kingdom. She offers a respectful and compassionate space where people can explore the reasons they have sought therapy at their own pace. Recognising that taking the first step can feel daunting, Sam aims to make beginning therapy feel supported and manageable so clients can work toward feeling more grounded and connected.

Attachment-informed and practical online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of relating and emotional connection. It helps people understand how early attachments influence current relationships and can be useful for addressing abandonment, attachment difficulties, and relationship conflicts.

Client-Centered Therapy prioritises the individual’s experience, offering a nonjudgmental space where the person’s own goals and pace guide the work. This approach supports self-exploration, self-esteem, and coping with life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) addresses patterns of thought and behaviour that contribute to stress, anxiety, low mood, or unhelpful coping. It offers practical strategies for changing thinking and responses to everyday challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Sam will work collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she will adapt the approach as therapy progresses to maintain a good fit.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility - sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging can fit around work, family, and other commitments. These options make it easier to access registered professionals from wherever you are in the United Kingdom and to choose the mode of communication that feels most comfortable.
