About Samuel
Samuel Fawcett is a counsellor in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. He came into the field after living with obsessive compulsive disorder from a young age, and that personal experience shapes his way of working. He is registered with the BACP, which is shown as BACP in his credentials.
Samuel speaks English and works with adults on issues around anxiety, stress and intimacy. Samuel focuses on helping people who struggle with OCD and anxiety, and those facing problems in relationships and attachment.
Background and approach
He also supports individuals dealing with guilt, shame, forgiveness, and the fallout from infidelity. Other areas he addresses include life purpose, men's issues, sexual dysfunction, self-love, social anxiety and phobia, and obsessive and compulsive behaviours. In sessions he uses a mix of behavioural and acceptance-based methods alongside compassion-focused ideas.
He says some people can feel alienated by behavioural therapies, so he aims to treat the whole person rather than a label. That means working on unhelpful behaviours while also talking about values, identity and what matters to the client. Samuel describes therapy as a collaborative process.
He supports clients to challenge patterns that get in the way, and to explore who they are beneath the behaviours. Meetings are practical and reflective, with a balance of behaviour change and emotional work. He draws on his lived experience to empathise with clients who have struggled for a long time.
That background informs how he discusses relapse, setbacks and steady progress without rushing the process.

How Samuel works online
He also uses acceptance-based and compassion-focused ideas to help clients relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings. Acceptance approaches encourage noticing thoughts without fighting them, while compassion-focused ideas build a kinder internal voice for people who struggle with shame and guilt.
Finding the right method is part of the work. Samuel treats the selection of techniques as a collaboration, checking in about what feels useful and adapting plans to a person’s goals and comfort. That way the therapy evolves instead of sticking rigidly to one route.
Session formats were not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can save travel time, make scheduling easier around work or family, and allow shorter check-ins when that suits a client's routine. Many people find remote sessions help them fit therapy into everyday life while still doing meaningful therapeutic work.
