About Samantha
Samantha Ryan is a BACP counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with ten years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, anger, and a wide range of other concerns. Her focus includes helping clients manage grief, addiction, self-esteem, sleep and eating issues, and life changes.
Samantha uses a person-centred way of working. She listens and follows what matters most to each person. That means sessions concentrate on the client's present needs and on building a sense of trust and agency.
She has spent time supporting survivors of childhood sexual abuse and domestic abuse. Her background includes four years working with survivors of childhood sexual abuse, a year supporting people affected by cancer in a hospital setting, and a year providing counselling at a women’s centre. That past work informs how she approaches trauma and long-term hurt.
In sessions she helps people make sense of difficult feelings and the patterns that keep repeating. Conversations aim to reduce overwhelm and to find practical ways to manage day-to-day reactions, including anger and relationship strain. Samantha also works with issues linked to attachment, abandonment, and blended family concerns.
Samantha combines person-centred listening with trauma-focused techniques when needed. She supports people to notice progress and to try small changes between sessions. Her practice uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time, and international clients may be accepted. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and book an initial session.
How her approaches are used in online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and following what matters to the person. The therapist reflects back concerns and helps clients make choices that feel doable. This approach suits people who need a steady, respectful place to sort through anger, relationships and everyday stress.Trauma-Focused Therapy directs attention to the effects of past harm and helps people process memories or patterns that keep causing distress. It can be helpful when anger links back to earlier abuse or repeated boundary violations, and it is used with care and pacing.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Samantha will discuss goals and preferences and will help decide which methods to try first. That choice is collaborative and can change as sessions progress.
