About Sam

Sam Pitt is a UK-licensed therapist with seven years of professional counselling experience and a long history of frontline clinical work. Before training as a therapist, she spent 19 years working as a frontline medic in central London, an experience that contributes to a calm, grounded presence and a capacity to work safely with complex and distressing material.

Her practice focuses on LGBTQ+ concerns, relationship difficulties, attachment-related challenges, and trauma, including CPTSD, PTSD, and experiences of abuse. She brings an attachment- and trauma-informed lens to her work, prioritising emotional safety, the development of trust, and collaborative planning with each person she sees. Sam also addresses a broad range of difficulties such as stress, anxiety, addictions, family problems, self-esteem, and navigating life changes.

People can expect a respectful and compassionate environment in which pace is set by the client and therapy is tailored to individual needs. Her approach aims to support meaningful change while helping clients feel more grounded and connected. Sam holds membership of the BACP - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects her professional commitment to ongoing standards and development. She is not currently accepting new clients.

Attachment, Client-Centered, and CBT for Online Work

Sam integrates Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into her online practice. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns of connection and can help with attachment issues, abandonment fears, and relationship difficulties by building more secure ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, acceptance, and listening - it gives the client space to lead sessions and is useful for people seeking a compassionate, non-directive environment to work through self-esteem, identity, or life transition concerns. CBT is a practical, problem-focused approach that looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours and can be effective for managing anxiety, depression, stress, and some addictive patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Sam works collaboratively with people to identify which methods or combination of methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative process allows techniques to be tailored and adjusted over time to support meaningful progress.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for busy lives and those who prefer remote access. These options can make it easier to maintain regular sessions, access support from home, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable while working with a licensed professional.
