Sam Pitt , BACP

Sam Pitt is a UK-licensed therapist with over seven years of professional experience and a nineteen-year background working as a frontline medic in central London. This combination of clinical and emergency care experience informs a calm, grounded practice and a steady capacity to work with complex or distressing material. Sam holds BACP accreditation - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and draws on that professional framework in her therapeutic work.

She specialises in supporting people with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, and issues related to LGBTQ+ identity. Other areas of focus include addictions, family and blended family challenges, attachment and abandonment concerns, body image, codependency, and coping with life changes. Her approach is attachment- and trauma-informed, with an emphasis on building trust, emotional safety, and collaborative planning.

In sessions Sam offers a respectful, compassionate environment where people can explore what has brought them to therapy at a pace that feels manageable. Work is tailored to the individual, aiming to foster practical coping, stronger connections, and a greater sense of grounding. She seeks to make the first steps into therapy feel supported and achievable for each person.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

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 and helps people address fears of abandonment, trust issues, and relationship difficulties. Client-Centered Therapy prioritises the individual’s experience, offering empathic listening and support to help clients find their own solutions and build self-esteem. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, which can be useful for managing anxiety, depression, and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Sam works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques over time as the work evolves.

Online sessions via video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer practical flexibility for busy schedules, mobility constraints, or geographical distance. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care and access support from familiar surroundings while working with licensed professionals and therapists who tailor their approach to each individual.
