About Samantha
Samantha McEwan is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom. She brings four years of professional experience to her online practice and focuses on supporting people through parenting concerns alongside a wide range of emotional challenges. Samantha aims to build a calm, practical space where people can speak frankly about what feels hard right now.
Samantha uses straightforward, collaborative conversations to help clients make sense of their difficulties. She listens for patterns that keep people stuck and helps them try out different ways of coping.
Background and approach
Sessions are paced to each person, with practical tools offered alongside reflective discussion. Her work covers stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and anger, as well as concerns such as self-esteem, career strain, eating problems and bipolar difficulties. Parenting is listed among her focus areas, and she supports individuals facing the specific strains of parenting roles and responsibilities.
Samantha also works with issues like attachment and abandonment, communication problems, chronic illness and caregiver stress. She can help with the emotional impact of separation, domestic violence and other relationship strains. Her approach draws on several well-known therapies to match methods to the person.
Sessions aim to be practical and compassionate, helping people set manageable goals and notice small changes that add up over time.

Therapy approaches you can use online
Samantha often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in her online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting controlled by them, and it supports living in line with personal values. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together and teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Samantha will discuss goals and preferences and then suggest methods that might help. That way the plan is collaborative and can be adjusted as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls work well for face-to-face conversation and visual connection. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging are useful for shorter exchanges, ongoing check-ins or when people prefer written reflection. These options give flexibility for fitting therapy around parenting, work and daily life.
