Samuel Packwood, BACP

Samuel Packwood is a UK-based counsellor registered with the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) who brings over three years of clinical experience to his practice. He offers a calm, empathetic presence and prioritizes understanding each person as an individual, creating a space where people can explore their thoughts and feelings without judgement.

Samuel has worked with people from a wide range of backgrounds and addresses common concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and panic disorder. He places particular emphasis on anxiety care, using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside other evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help clients develop practical tools and reduce the impact of worry on daily life.

Known for personalising his approach, Samuel adapts methods and session pace to suit the needs and goals of each client. His aim is to support and empower people through difficult times and to help them make the changes they want to see, encouraging a freer, fuller life with fewer barriers to wellbeing.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care

Samuel commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a structured approach that helps people identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours so they can manage symptoms of anxiety, panic and low mood more effectively. He also draws on other evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to trauma and emotional distress, offering practical strategies to process difficult experiences and reduce their day-to-day impact.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic collaboration. Samuel works with each person to agree on methods that suit their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting the plan over time so therapy remains relevant and effective.

Online therapy with Samuel is available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals without the need to travel, and they allow therapy to fit more readily into busy lives while maintaining a focus on progress and wellbeing.
