About Samantha
Samantha Holt is a Psychologist and Psychotherapist with the NCPS and five years' experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, eating issues, anger, addictions and depression. Samantha also supports those dealing with grief, sleep problems, parenting strain, career change and ADHD.
Samantha focuses on how early attachments and current relationships affect day-to-day life. She explains how past trauma can change reactions, patterns and closeness with others. Sessions aim to notice unhelpful thoughts and habits, and try different ways of responding.
Her background includes clinical roles in the United Kingdom. Samantha draws on several approaches to suit what a person needs most. She uses cognitive behavioural techniques alongside attachment-based and client-centred work to make sessions practical and focused.
In practical terms Samantha helps people break down problems into manageable steps. She supports setting small goals, testing new behaviours and reviewing what works. This can include looking at sleep routines, eating patterns, anger responses or relationship boundaries.
People preparing for their first session find a clear plan helpful. Samantha asks about recent difficulties, patterns in relationships and what a better week would look like. From there she and the client agree on next steps and goals to work towards.
How Samantha uses structured approaches online
CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviours. It breaks problems into small steps and practical exercises, which can help with anxiety, low mood, sleep and unhelpful routines.Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and how these shape reactions now. It helps people understand why they respond a certain way in relationships and supports practising different ways of relating.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Samantha treats this as a collaboration and will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together they agree which methods to try and when to review progress.
