Sam Pitt, BACP

Sam Pitt is a UK-licensed therapist with seven years of professional experience in counselling and psychotherapy and 19 years of experience working as a frontline medic in central London. This combination of clinical therapy training and long-term frontline healthcare work has shaped a calm, grounded approach and an ability to work safely with complex and distressing material. Sam holds BACP credentials - BACP stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and brings that professional framework into practice.

Sam specialises in LGBTQ+ related concerns, relationship difficulties, attachment challenges, and a range of trauma presentations including CPTSD, PTSD, and experiences of abuse. Her practice is attachment- and trauma-informed, with a consistent focus on building emotional safety, trust, and collaborative therapeutic work. She also supports people facing stress, anxiety, addiction issues, family and blended-family problems, anger, self-esteem difficulties, depression, life transitions, and ADHD.

In sessions Sam offers a respectful, compassionate environment where a person can explore what is bringing them to therapy at their own pace. Work is tailored to each individual, aiming to support meaningful change while helping clients feel more grounded and connected. Sam seeks to make the first step into therapy manageable and supported so that beginning treatment feels as safe and approachable as possible.

Attachment and Person-Centered Approaches in Online Therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape patterns of connection and trust. Online sessions using this approach help clients explore attachment wounds and build more secure ways of relating, which can be helpful for relationship difficulties, abandonment concerns, and attachment issues.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, acceptance, and collaboration. In this approach the therapist follows the client’s lead, offering supportive reflection to help clients clarify their needs and values, useful for improving self-esteem, communication, and coping with life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Delivered online, CBT techniques can support the management of anxiety, low mood, stress, and some addictive behaviors through practical, skills-based work.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Sam works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences, adjusting the plan as therapy progresses.

Online therapy offers flexible access to licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work and family life, maintain continuity of care during transitions, and choose a format that feels most comfortable for each step of the therapeutic journey.
