Sam Pitt, BACP

Sam Pitt is a UK-licensed therapist with over seven years of professional experience and a further 19 years of service as a frontline medic in central London. Her combined clinical and emergency background contributes to a calm, grounded presence and an ability to work safely with complex or distressing material.

She specialises in LGBTQ+ related concerns, relationship difficulties, attachment-related challenges, and trauma including CPTSD, PTSD, and experiences of abuse. Her practice is attachment- and trauma-informed, with an emphasis on building trust, emotional safety, and collaborative decision-making in therapy. Sam holds BACP accreditation - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which reflects professional standards in counselling and psychotherapy.

Clients are offered a respectful, compassionate space to explore what has brought them to therapy at a pace that feels manageable. Sessions are tailored to each person’s needs to support meaningful change while helping them feel more grounded and connected in daily life.

Recognising that the first step can feel daunting, she aims to make beginning therapy feel supported and manageable so that people can engage with the process with greater confidence.

Attachment, Client-Centered and CBT Online

Sam uses attachment-based approaches to look at how early and current relationship patterns affect feelings of safety, trust, and connection; this approach can be helpful for people dealing with abandonment, attachment difficulties, and relationship problems. Client-centered therapy underpins her work with an emphasis on empathy, acceptance, and collaborating at a pace the client finds manageable - it supports exploration of personal values, self-esteem, and emotional processing. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to help identify and shift unhelpful patterns of thinking and behaviour, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Sam works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the approach as therapy unfolds to support meaningful progress.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging allow clients to access registered professionals from home or elsewhere, making it easier to fit therapy around work, family, and daily life while maintaining continuity of care.
