Samantha Ryan, BACP

Samantha Ryan provides a calm, non-judgemental space where people can explore their lives at a pace that feels right for them. With ten years of experience and a person-centred, trauma-informed way of working, she honours each person’s story and recognises the strength required to seek support.

Samantha specialises in supporting survivors of childhood sexual abuse and domestic abuse, helping people recover from trauma and gradually reconnect with themselves. Her work focuses on building safety and trust and on uncovering a sense of identity beneath what someone has experienced. She accompanies clients through difficult moments while also recognising and celebrating progress and healing.

Alongside offering counselling on Betterhelp and through volunteer roles, Samantha practises privately from a therapy room in England where she provides counselling and reiki. Her professional background includes four years in a charity supporting survivors of childhood sexual abuse, one year working with people affected by cancer in a hospital, and one year offering counselling at a women’s centre for a wide range of issues.

Samantha holds BACP accreditation - the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - which indicates membership of a UK professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists. She aims to meet people with empathy, honesty, and respect, and to walk alongside them through the work of processing what feels heavy and noticing growth as it happens.
