Samantha Ryan , BACP

Samantha Ryan offers a calm, non-judgemental therapeutic space where people can explore their lives at a pace that feels right for them. She works from a person-centred, trauma-informed perspective that honours each person’s story and recognises the resilience it has taken to reach therapy. Samantha focuses on supporting survivors of childhood sexual abuse and domestic abuse, helping individuals to process traumatic experiences and rebuild a sense of safety, trust, and identity beneath what they have endured.

She brings a decade of experience to her work and holds BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy), reflecting her professional commitment to recognised standards of counselling practice. Samantha draws alongside clients during difficult periods to help them process thoughts and feelings, and she celebrates breakthroughs and growth as they occur. Her practice supports people dealing with a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, relationships, depression, addictions, self-esteem, grief, and many trauma-related challenges.

In addition to her volunteer work and online counselling, Samantha works in private practice from a therapy room in England, UK, and offers reiki alongside counselling. Her background includes four years supporting survivors of childhood sexual abuse at a charity, a year working with people affected by cancer in a hospital setting, and a year providing counselling at a women’s centre. She believes healing unfolds when people are met with empathy, honesty, and respect, and she aims to walk alongside clients wherever they are on their journey.
