About Samantha

Samantha Miller is a counsellor who works from a humanistic and existential perspective. She draws on client-centred ways of working to help people notice what matters to them. Samantha uses a gentle, curious style to support people as they make sense of painful experiences and life changes.

Samantha has five years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Her background includes helping people who live with trauma, long-term low mood, and complicated grief.

Background and approach

She aims to build a steady working relationship where people can talk openly about hard feelings. Sessions often begin by listening closely to what someone is trying to say about their life. Samantha pays attention to how the body and emotions show up, and she draws on somatic ideas when it helps.

She also uses trauma-focused approaches for people carrying the impact of past abuse or overwhelming events. Practical concerns such as sleep, eating, work and parenting are part of the conversation. Samantha helps people untangle issues like anxiety, anger, addiction and low self-esteem.

She also supports those coping with loneliness, abandonment or problems with boundaries and communication. People come to Samantha for help with relationships, career decisions, and finding meaning after loss. She offers clear, down-to-earth conversations rather than technical jargon.

Sessions are conducted in English and she works with clients in the United Kingdom and internationally. To start, Samantha asks a few questions to understand what someone needs and how best to proceed. Her focus is on helping people notice choices, accept difficult emotions, and build more workable ways of living.

Online support

How existential and body-focused work translates online

Samantha commonly combines existential thinking with client-centred listening and somatic awareness. Existential therapy helps people look at questions of meaning, choice and identity, and it can be useful when someone is facing big life changes, grief or a sense of emptiness. Client-centred work focuses on being listened to with genuine curiosity and respect, which helps people feel heard and understood.

Somatic-informed work pays attention to bodily signals such as tension, breath and sensations, and uses simple exercises or observation to help people notice how emotions appear in the body. This can be helpful for trauma, anxiety and recurrent stress responses and is adapted to pace and need during sessions.

Finding the right mixture of approaches is a collaborative process. Samantha will discuss what feels most relevant and will adjust methods to fit someone’s goals and preferences. Together they decide if the focus should be on meaning-making, emotion regulation, body awareness or practical day-to-day changes.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions need less bandwidth and remove the need to be on camera, live chat suits brief check-ins and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life or mobility constraints while keeping a steady therapeutic rhythm.
