About Samuel
Samuel Appiah is a counsellor and coach who helps people facing anxiety, low mood, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, addiction and life transitions. He recognises how hard it can feel to ask for help and acknowledges the courage in taking that step.
Samuel works in plain language and aims to create a calm space for people to talk through what matters to them. He blends a person-centred stance with practical techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
Background and approach
That means sessions focus on listening, building on existing strengths, and trying simple tools that can change unhelpful patterns. Samuel also uses existential ideas to help people find meaning during difficult changes and draws on Jungian and psychodynamic thinking when exploring deeper life themes. Samuel holds the NCPS credential and has five years' clinical experience across independent practice and wellbeing settings.
He has additional focus areas including adoption and foster care, attachment concerns, and a range of intimacy and sexual wellbeing issues. He supports people with stress, sleep and eating difficulties, anger, ADHD and compassion fatigue among other concerns. Sessions can include coaching-style conversations, practical skills work, reflective exploration, and short-term goal plans.
Samuel aims to work collaboratively and adapt sessions to each person's goals and pace. He offers sessions in English and accepts international clients. To begin, people follow the online sign-up flow, complete a short questionnaire, and then arrange appointments that suit their schedule.

Online support
How different approaches work online
Samuel uses Existential Therapy to help people face questions about meaning, choice and purpose when life feels uncertain. That approach can be useful for people coping with big life changes, emptiness or grief. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying practical steps to change feelings and behaviour; it can help with anxiety, low mood, sleep and stress.Finding the right way of working is a collaborative process. Samuel will talk through goals, try approaches in session, and adjust methods based on what feels most useful. Together the person and therapist decide which balance of reflection and practical work best suits the presenting issue and the person's preferences.
Online therapy offers flexibility and several ways to connect. Video calls are close to a face-to-face conversation and suit in-depth work. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and are useful for check-ins or when being on camera is difficult. Live chat and text-based messaging let people share between sessions, fit therapy into a busy day, or use shorter written check-ins as a way to reflect.
