Samantha Love, NCPS

Samantha Love is a United Kingdom based counsellor with 15 years of practical experience supporting people through relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, intimacy concerns, stress and anxiety, family problems, grief, sleep disturbance, anger, self-esteem struggles, bipolar and depression, and broader life transitions. She also offers focused support for autistic and Asperger syndrome clients, blended family challenges, dissociation, domestic violence, impulsivity, panic and post-traumatic stress, pregnancy and childbirth issues, sexual assault and abuse, sexual dysfunction, social anxiety, and other complex presentations.

Samantha has worked in special educational needs settings, prison education and secondary education, bringing an understanding of diverse learning and behavioural needs into her counselling practice. She specialises in working with people who have experienced childhood trauma and abuse while also addressing everyday anxiety and the practical tasks of building more positive thinking and healthier family and relationship patterns. Her style is integrative - she draws on a range of therapeutic frameworks and adapts them to each person rather than applying a single method.

Her clinical toolkit includes cognitive behavioural approaches, psychodynamic ideas, mindfulness-based techniques and person-centred methods, combined with creative therapy activities to help clients feel at ease while exploring difficult material. She has a degree in Psychology and a diploma in therapeutic counselling, has tutored counselling students online, holds the NCPS credential, and is a member of the BACP (British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists), NCS (National Counselling Society) and ACTO (Association for Counselling and Therapy Online). She is trained in online and telephone counselling and aims to respond to inquiries within 24 hours Monday to Friday. Clinic hours are listed as Tues 8 am - 12 pm 6 pm - 9 pm; Wed 8 am - 12 pm 6 pm - 9 pm; Thurs 8 am - 120 pm 6 pm - 9 pm; Sat 1 pm - 4 pm. For more information visit samanthalovecounselling.com.
