About Sam
Sam Harris is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom who uses a person-centred approach to support people through hard times. He draws on three years of hands-on experience to help with stress, anxiety, family problems, grief and loss. He also offers support for depression, addictions and parenting concerns.
He creates a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can talk about what matters most to them. Sessions aim to make it easier to name feelings and spot patterns that get in the way of daily life.
Background and approach
The emphasis is on practical steps you can try between meetings. His practice often combines client-centred listening with cognitive behavioural techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. He may also use psychodynamic ideas to look at long-standing patterns, and solution-focused methods to set short-term goals.
Sam has worked with people facing trauma, abuse, relationship strain and intimacy-related issues. He also supports those dealing with sleep or eating difficulties, anger, self-esteem and career stress. Additional areas include caregiver strain, chronic illness, codependency and attachment concerns.
Sessions are offered in English and conducted online through video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging. Sam can help people consider next steps and make a plan that suits their day-to-day life.

How online approaches and talking therapies fit together
Client-Centred Therapy puts the person at the centre of the work. The counsellor listens without judgement and helps the client find their own solutions, which can be useful for stress, family concerns and parenting strain. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings and actions. It offers practical tools to test unhelpful thoughts and develop new coping routines for anxiety, depression and sleep or eating problems.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Sam will talk with each client about their goals, preferences and how they like to work. Together they decide whether to focus on short-term solutions, practical CBT exercises, or deeper exploration of patterns that repeat across relationships.
Online therapy here can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit into a busy schedule and need less bandwidth. Live chat or text messaging suit shorter check-ins or times when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit counselling around family life, work and daily commitments.
