Samantha Holt, NCPS

Samantha Holt is a registered therapist who holds NCPS, a professional registration for mental health practitioners. She works with people affected by trauma, relationship difficulties, domestic and sexual violence, personality disorders, addictions, attachment challenges and eating-related concerns. Her practice addresses a wide range of reactions to distress, including stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar symptoms, anger, grief and difficulties with intimacy, sleep, parenting, career changes, and coping with life transitions.

Samantha understands that traumatic experiences - such as abuse, accidents, neglect, loss, witnessing violence or other overwhelming events - can shape how someone relates to others and manages everyday life. She supports clients dealing with acute and chronic stress responses, post-traumatic reactions and complex patterns that develop after repeated or prolonged adversity. Her work also includes support for those facing codependency, substance-related problems, and challenges associated with neurodiversity and personality-related issues.

In therapy she aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where feelings and thoughts can be explored and understood. Samantha takes a collaborative approach, helping people identify practical steps and internal resources to move forward. She accepts international clients and offers sessions in English to suit a variety of needs and schedules.

Integrating therapeutic approaches with flexible online care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships influence emotional patterns and behaviour. It helps people explore connection and trust issues, improving how they relate to partners, family and close friends. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) works with the links between thoughts, feelings and actions to identify unhelpful patterns and develop practical strategies for managing anxiety, depression, stress and related symptoms. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on the impacts of traumatic events and supports processing of distressing memories and reactions so daily functioning and relationships can improve.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Samantha and other registered professionals work with each client to assess needs, preferences and goals, and together decide which methods to emphasise or combine. This collaborative stance helps tailor therapy to what feels most helpful for the individual.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and communication can continue through live chat or text-based messaging when needed. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family life and different time zones, and support consistent access to therapists for people with varied schedules and living situations.
