Samuel Appiah , NCPS

Samuel Appiah is a counsellor and coach who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy concerns, and parenting or family pressures. He draws on five years of practice to offer practical support for issues like addiction, grief, self-esteem, eating and sleeping problems, and coping with major life changes. Samuel works with people who are exploring identity, attachment or body image questions, as well as those facing career strain or compassion fatigue.

He approaches therapy as a collaborative conversation. Samuel combines person-centred listening with practical techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Sessions are aimed at helping people spot unhelpful patterns, try different ways of relating, and build coping strategies that fit day-to-day life.

Samuel holds NCPS as a credential and a degree in Counselling and Coaching. He has worked in private practice and in wellbeing settings across the United Kingdom, offering both coaching and therapeutic support. His background includes focused work around intimacy-related issues and adoption and foster care concerns.

People can expect a calm, respectful style that balances reflection with action. Samuel often blends mindful awareness with psychodynamic thinking to help clients make sense of long-standing patterns. He also uses solution-focused exercises when clear, short-term goals are needed.

Sessions can cover concrete skills such as managing sleep, reducing anxiety, or handling triggers related to past trauma. Samuel also supports exploration of deeper questions about identity, attachment and meaning, using Jungian and existential ideas where they help the conversation move forward.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Samuel often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. CBT can be useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep difficulties and managing everyday stressors.

He also draws on Existential Therapy to help people explore meaning, identity and life transitions. This approach supports people facing big questions about purpose, commitment or loss.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Samuel will listen to your goals and preferences, and suggest a blend of methods that fit your needs. He treats the choice of approach as collaborative and adjusts it as the therapy progresses.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat and text-based messaging so people can choose what suits their routine. Video calls work well for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a short break, and messaging or live chat can suit quick check-ins or when people prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and travel while still working with a registered or accredited professional.
