Sam Pitt

Sam Pitt is a counsellor who helps people dealing with anger alongside stress, anxiety and relationship strain. She uses a calm, grounded manner and aims to make first steps feel manageable for someone who is worried or unsure.

Sam works in a collaborative, paced way. She focuses on emotional safety and building trust so conversations about difficult experiences can feel steadier. Sessions are shaped around what each person needs, with attention to how past relationships affect current reactions.

Her background includes seven years in clinical therapeutic work and nineteen years as a frontline medic in central London. That combination has influenced a practical, steady approach to complex experiences such as trauma, abuse and addiction. It also informs how she responds when strong emotions like anger arise.

Sam uses several therapeutic styles depending on the person and the issue. She draws on attachment ideas to look at relationship patterns, client-centred listening to make space for the person’s perspective, and cognitive behavioural ideas to spot unhelpful thinking and try small changes.

People come to Sam for a range of concerns including LGBTQ+ related issues, trauma-related distress, low self-esteem, coping with life changes, and ADHD. She also works with matters such as communication problems, codependency and substance-related issues. Her aim is to help people feel more grounded, rebuild trust in themselves, and find practical ways to manage strong feelings.

How approaches like attachment and CBT work online

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. In conversation the therapist helps identify repeated relational responses and tries new ways of relating that feel safer and more connected.

Client-centred work gives the person space to talk and be heard without judgement. The counsellor follows the person’s lead, reflecting feelings and helping them make sense of what matters most.

Finding the right approach is part of the journey. Sam will work with the person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences, and will try different ways of working if something does not feel helpful. This is a joint process rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

Confirm the available session options before booking, as formats are not specified in the profile. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare or other commitments, and they can allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Telephone options can be useful when video is difficult, and video can help maintain a face-to-face feel; discuss practical needs with the counsellor when arranging times.
