Samantha Haig, BACP

Samantha Haig is a BACP-registered therapist practising in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress and anxiety, grief and loss, low self-esteem and depression, and supports clients struggling with motivation, confidence and significant life changes. Her practice also addresses communication difficulties, control issues, forgiveness, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, questions of life purpose, midlife transitions, mood disorders including panic, self-love, social anxiety and women's issues.

Samantha emphasises a respectful, sensitive and compassionate way of working, tailoring conversations and treatment plans to each person’s individual needs. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help clients build coping skills, explore difficult emotions and navigate transitions. Samantha recognises that beginning therapy takes courage and aims to make the first steps easier, offering practical guidance and a collaborative approach to treatment planning.

Evidence-Based Techniques for Online Support

Samantha uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that combine structured, skill-building work with compassionate, client-centred support. One approach focuses on practical skills training to manage symptoms - teaching breathing and grounding strategies, behavioural experiments and problem-solving skills that can reduce anxiety, panic and low mood. Another approach emphasises grief-informed and adjustment-focused work, helping people process loss, adapt to life changes and rebuild motivation and self-esteem.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Samantha works collaboratively with each person to identify what will fit their needs, goals and preferences. She adapts techniques and the pace of work based on what helps the client feel supported and able to make progress.

Online therapy with Samantha is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access regular support from registered professionals without needing to travel, and they allow sessions to be scheduled around work, family and other commitments.
