Samantha Ryan , BACP

Samantha Ryan offers a calm, non-judgemental space where people can explore their lives in depth and at a pace that feels right for them. Her practice is grounded in a person-centred, trauma-informed way of working that honours each person’s story and recognises the strength it takes to seek support. She is registered with the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy), a recognised professional body for counsellors and psychotherapists.

Samantha specialises in supporting survivors of childhood sexual abuse and domestic abuse, with a focus on helping people heal from trauma and reconnect with who they are beneath their experiences. Her work emphasises safety, rebuilding trust, and rediscovering a deeper sense of self while processing difficult memories and emotions.

She offers steady, compassionate support through the darker moments of therapy as well as alongside moments of growth and recovery. In addition to counselling in private practice from a therapy room in England, UK, Samantha’s background includes volunteering and specialist roles: four years with a charity supporting survivors of childhood sexual abuse, a year working in a hospital with people affected by cancer, and a year at a women’s centre providing counselling for a wide range of issues. She also offers reiki as part of her private practice.

Samantha believes that healing unfolds when people are met with empathy, honesty, and respect. She meets clients where they are and walks alongside them through the difficult moments while celebrating their breakthroughs and progress.
