About Sam
Sam Pitt is a counsellor with seven years of professional experience. She provides a calm, steady presence for people who are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or stuck. Sam is comfortable talking about LGBT matters and related stresses, and she aims to make the first steps into therapy straightforward and manageable.
Sam draws on a long background working in frontline medical roles in central London. That experience influences how she stays grounded with complex or distressing stories and helps people feel understood when life feels chaotic.
Background and approach
She works at a pace each person can manage and focuses on building trust in the therapeutic relationship. Her practice often centres on attachment and trauma-related concerns alongside mood and anxiety problems. Sam offers space to talk through relationship and family difficulties, experiences of abuse, and issues with addiction or anger.
She also supports people dealing with low self-esteem, body image, and major life changes. Therapy sessions are tailored to the person in front of her. Sam uses conversational, practical methods to help people notice patterns, try new ways of coping, and make small changes that add up.
She combines client-centred listening with approaches that look at thought patterns and attachment history. If someone wants to begin, Sam asks them to share what matters most to them and what they hope to change. She then works with each person to agree on small, realistic steps and to check progress along the way.

Therapeutic approaches and online support
Sam regularly uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current patterns; this approach helps people who struggle with trust, abandonment worries or repeating relationship problems. She also uses Client-Centred Therapy which prioritises listening, empathy and the person's own pace to explore what matters most. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, focusing on how thoughts and behaviours interact, is offered when people want clearer tools to manage anxiety and low mood.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Sam will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together they’ll try methods and adjust the approach as needed so therapy matches the person’s needs and progress.
Practical benefits of online therapy can include fitting sessions around work, avoiding travel time and having an option that suits daily life. The exact session formats should be confirmed before booking, as current options are set by the service. Registered or accredited professionals can use online ways to keep continuity of care and make it easier to attend regular sessions without disrupting routine.
