About Samantha
Samantha Hudson is a counsellor who supports people facing work and wellbeing pressures, stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and career challenges. She also helps with sleep problems, anger, compassion fatigue and workplace issues. Samantha writes that she aims to offer a warm, interactive space where people can feel at ease and talk about the changes they want to make.
She began practising in 2011 and has worked in private practice since then. Samantha has experience supporting first responders and veterans from the UK, US and Canada, and has delivered keynote talks and training on post-traumatic stress and suicide awareness.
Samantha combines approaches such as cognitive behavioural therapy, client-centred methods and elements of psychodynamic work to shape sessions. She says she tailors conversations and plans to each person’s needs, using a mix of practical exercises and reflective dialogue.
Samantha holds an Advanced Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy and a Level 4 Diploma in Therapeutic Counselling, along with practitioner-level study in areas including post-traumatic stress and anger management. Her listed credential is NCPS, which she uses in her professional title.
Sessions are offered by video and telephone, and she allows messaging between sessions though not messaging-only therapy. For those who prefer working remotely, she uses those formats and asks people to confirm session options when booking. Samantha welcomes international clients and conducts sessions in English.
Approaches and how online therapy can work for you
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings while focusing on actions that matter to them. It can help when worry, stress or low motivation get in the way of work or wellbeing.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together and uses practical techniques to change unhelpful patterns. This approach is often used for anxiety, panic and sleep problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Samantha will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then shape sessions together. This means methods can be tried and adjusted, rather than fixed from the start.
She offers video and telephone sessions and allows messaging between sessions, though she does not offer messaging-only therapy. If you prefer remote sessions, confirm the available formats when booking so they match your schedule. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can use remote sessions to deliver the same kind of therapeutic conversation and skill practice as in-person work, while keeping the focus on practical steps you can use day to day.
