About Sam
Sam Harris is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of experience. He helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression and anger, and supports those coping with trauma, family conflict and loss. Sam writes plainly and works directly with everyday problems that affect relationships and work life.
He focuses on clear, practical conversations. Sam listens to what is happening now and asks about what the person wants to change. Together they set small, achievable steps to reduce overwhelm and manage strong feelings like anger or resentment.
Sam uses a mix of approaches to suit different issues. He draws on client-centred ways of working to follow the person’s concerns. He also uses cognitive behavioural methods to spot patterns of thought and behaviour that keep problems going.
When trauma or deeper emotional patterns appear, Sam brings in psychodynamic ideas to understand how past experiences shape current responses. He can also work in solution-focused ways to build concrete coping strategies and short-term goals.
Sessions aim to be straightforward and practical. People often come with trouble sleeping, difficulty communicating in close relationships, parenting strain, or career stress. Sam supports work on boundaries, control issues, codependency, and managing emotions so daily life becomes easier.
How Sam uses different approaches in online work
Sam uses client-centred approaches to focus on what matters most to the person. This means he listens with the person’s concerns guiding the conversation and priorities. It is useful for people who need to clarify what they want to change.Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. CBT helps with anxiety, anger that shows up at work or home, sleep problems, and mood difficulties by breaking problems into manageable steps.
Solution-focused therapy concentrates on small, practical changes and clear goals. It is helpful for people who want short-term strategies to reduce stress and manage strong emotions.
Finding the right way of working is part of the process. Sam will explore the person’s goals, past experiences and daily pressures and then suggest approaches that fit. Decisions about methods are made together, and plans can change as work progresses.
The original biography does not specify which online session formats are used, so confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a working day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also allow sessions without video if that suits a person better.
