Samantha Holt, NCPS

Samantha Holt is a psychologist and psychotherapist who helps people facing trauma, relationship strain, anxiety and stresses tied to health and life changes. She works with clients on issues such as addiction, eating concerns, grief and difficulties with intimacy. Samantha uses straightforward language and aims to make talking about hard things feel manageable.

She draws on Attachment-Based and Client-Centred ways of working to explore how early relationships shape current patterns. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) tools are used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small experiments that can change everyday routines. Trauma-Focused and existential approaches inform longer-term work when people have faced repeated or intense losses.

Over five years she has practised under the NCPS credential. Her background includes work in mental health settings in the United Kingdom, and she has supported people with a wide range of concerns from acute stress to complex trauma. She also has experience with addictions, anger and eating-related problems.

In sessions she aims to build a collaborative space where clients can speak frankly about their worries. She encourages practical steps alongside reflection, for example breaking larger problems into manageable tasks. The focus is on finding what helps someone function better day to day.

People looking to start therapy are invited to use the site's matching process and schedule a session time. Samantha accepts international clients and conducts work in English.

How Samantha’s approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-Based work looks at how early bonds shape current relationships and reactions. Online conversations can help identify patterns in how people relate and make changes in day-to-day interactions. Client-Centred therapy gives the person space to tell their story and be heard without judgement, which works well when building trust over remote sessions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying small, practical experiments between meetings to change routines and mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to the person's goals, needs and preferences, then suggest which methods to try first. Choices are reviewed as progress is made so the plan can change in a collaborative way.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm available options before booking. In general online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people work from different locations and continue therapy if they move countries, while the therapist and client decide together how to structure meetings to suit day-to-day life.
