About Samantha
Samantha Hudson helps with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, anger, career concerns and problems with sleep and self-esteem. She offers a calm, interactive space where people can talk about what matters to them and make small, steady changes. Samantha uses a practical style that aims to make therapy feel straightforward and useful.
She trained to NCPS standards and has practised since 2011, bringing 12 years of experience to her work.
Background and approach
Over the years she has developed particular expertise in trauma-related issues, including post-traumatic stress and responses to sexual assault and abuse. She has also supported people facing workplace strain, compassion fatigue and the emotional effects of disaster. Samantha blends several approaches to match each person’s needs.
She draws on cognitive behavioural ideas to look at thoughts and behaviours, client-centred listening to follow what matters to the person, and elements of dialectical behaviour therapy for emotion regulation. She adapts the way she works to make sessions practical and relevant.
Her background includes delivering keynote talks and continuing professional development on PTSD and suicide awareness for law enforcement and related services. She has completed advanced diplomas and practitioner-level training in trauma management, CBT, anger and aggression management, plus other skills focussed courses. Sessions are offered by video and telephone, with the option to message between sessions.
Cost varies with location and the subscription system used can be cancelled at any time. To begin, users choose the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

How Samantha works online
Finding the right approach is part of the process. She works collaboratively to decide what fits best with each person’s goals and preferences, adjusting methods as work progresses so the sessions remain useful and relevant.
She offers video and telephone sessions and allows messaging between appointments; please confirm the current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a working week, shorten travel time, or use a simpler audio call when bandwidth is limited. Many people find that exercises from CBT or ACT transfer well to remote sessions and that practical tools can be assigned between meetings to build progress outside the appointment.
