Samantha Johnson, NCPS

Samantha Johnson is a Person-Centred and Cognitive Behavioural Therapist (CBT) who works with both children and adults. She brings three years of therapeutic practice and additional experience supporting individuals within educational settings, including collaboration with families and those who have additional needs.

Samantha is a registered member of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS), a recognised professional body for counselling and psychotherapy. Her practice blends the empathic, client-led values of Person-Centred work with the practical, skills-based methods of CBT, allowing clients to explore feelings while developing tools for change.

She offers a warm, approachable therapeutic environment where people can process anxiety, low mood, stress, overwhelm, parenting challenges, and transitions in life. With adults she addresses concerns such as low self-esteem, grief, relationship issues, panic, and personal development. She also has specialist experience working with children and young people, including those with additional and complex needs, and has supported parents and wider family systems through those challenges.

Samantha tailors each session to the individual, combining empathetic listening with evidence-informed techniques to help clients manage symptoms, improve communication, and build coping strategies that suit their goals and everyday lives.

Person-Centred and CBT approaches for online therapy

Person-Centred therapy emphasises empathetic listening and a non-judgemental stance, giving clients space to explore their feelings and values at their own pace. This approach can be especially helpful for those working through self-esteem concerns, life transitions, or relationship and attachment issues.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behaviour that contribute to distress and teaching practical strategies to change them. CBT is often used to address anxiety, panic, low mood, and stress by building skills for managing unhelpful thoughts and improving day-to-day coping.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Samantha works with each person to understand their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts the mix of Person-Centred and CBT methods so therapy fits the individual rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all model.

Online therapy offers flexible options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to arrange appointments around work, family, or travel. These formats support continuity of care and allow people, including international clients, to access registered professionals from different locations while choosing the mode of communication that feels most comfortable to them.
