Samantha Johnson , NCPS

Samantha Johnson is a qualified Person-Centred and Cognitive Behavioural Therapist (CBT) who works with both children and adults, bringing three years of clinical experience to her practice. She is a registered member of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS), which reflects her commitment to professional standards and ongoing development.

Samantha combines the empathic, client-led values of Person-Centred work with the practical, skills-based tools of CBT to create a balanced and flexible approach. She supports people facing anxiety, low mood, stress, overwhelm, and the everyday challenges of life change, tailoring sessions to each individual’s needs and goals. With adults she addresses issues such as low self-esteem, grief, relationship difficulties, trauma, and personal development, while offering structured strategies alongside compassionate listening.

She has specialist experience supporting children and young people, including those with additional and complex needs, and has worked closely with parents and wider family networks. Her former role as a School Mental Health Lead informed her understanding of how children’s emotional needs connect with family systems. Samantha accepts international clients and aims to provide an approachable, respectful space where clients can explore concerns and build practical coping skills.

Integrating Person-Centred and CBT Approaches Online

Samantha uses a blend of Person-Centred therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to support clients remotely. Person-Centred work focuses on empathy, acceptance, and helping people explore their feelings at their own pace - it can be especially helpful for building self-esteem, improving relationships, and working through life transitions. CBT offers structured strategies to identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical skills for anxiety, low mood, panic, and stress, often using exercises and goal-focused techniques.

Samantha approaches treatment collaboratively, working with each person to find the approach or combination of approaches that best matches their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts the balance of listening and practical tools over time so the plan evolves with the client’s progress.

Online sessions - whether by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - provide flexibility for people juggling work, parenting, caregiving, or life changes, and make it easier to maintain continuity of care across locations and schedules. These options allow licensed professionals and therapists to offer accessible support while matching the communication style that feels most comfortable for each client.
