About Sam
Sam Harris is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom. He holds BACP accreditation and has three years of counselling experience helping people through difficult times. He offers calm, steady support for those feeling overwhelmed by change or loss.
He focuses on everyday problems such as stress and anxiety, and on more complex issues like trauma, abuse and grief. He also works with depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, and parenting and family stress. He helps people who are coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, ADHD and issues linked to chronic illness or caregiving.
Sam uses a mix of approaches tailored to each person. He draws on client-centred work to prioritise the client's perspective and on cognitive behavioural methods to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. He also uses solution-focused and psychodynamic ideas, and offers hypnotherapy where appropriate.
In a typical session Sam listens without judgement and helps clients outline small, achievable steps. He aims to make therapy practical and relevant to daily life, whether that means improving sleep and routines, managing anger, or handling the emotional fallout of separation and loss.
Sam’s practice includes support for people affected by natural or human-caused disasters, helping them manage shock, practical disruption and ongoing stress. To start, people complete a short questionnaire and arrange sessions according to the scheduling process on the service platform.
How Sam’s approaches translate to online therapy
Client-centred therapy puts the client's experience at the heart of each session. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what is said and helps the person set the pace and topics to discuss. This approach can help with anxiety, grief and relationship concerns by making sessions feel focused on the individual's needs.Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) works by identifying unhelpful thoughts and patterns, then testing new ways of thinking and behaving. It is often used for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and anger, and typically includes practical exercises to try between appointments.
Finding the right way of working is part of the therapeutic process. The counsellor will discuss different approaches and decide together which methods best match the person's goals, preferences and the problems they want to address. This is a collaborative conversation rather than a fixed plan.
If you are considering online sessions, check the available formats before booking as the biography does not specify which are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow quicker follow-ups or brief check-ins when needed. It can also make some practical exercises and worksheets simpler to share and review during or between meetings.
