About Samuel
Samuel Murphy is a counsellor who uses a client-centred approach to help people make sense of difficult feelings. He focuses on listening closely and offering support so clients can find clearer ways forward for themselves. He works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief and depression.
He also helps those coping with life changes and with attention differences such as ADHD. Sessions aim to increase self-understanding and reduce overwhelming reactions so daily life becomes easier to manage.
Background and approach
In sessions he creates space to talk about how past experiences shape present patterns. Conversations are guided by the client’s priorities rather than a fixed agenda. That practical, person-focused style is useful for problems like panic, obsessive thoughts, isolation and difficulties with trust or connection.
Samuel has three years of clinical experience and holds NCPS. He has supported people dealing with issues linked to relationships, identity and impulse control, and has worked with concerns such as blended family tensions, cancer, and attachment struggles. Work typically involves noticing repeating behaviours, naming emotions and trying small changes between sessions.
Samuel encourages realistic steps that fit each person’s life. The aim is clearer thinking, steadier mood, and more choice in how to respond to stressful situations.

Approaches Samuel lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
That person-focused way of working is flexible online. Samuel will work with clients to identify what matters to them and adjust sessions to their aims. Deciding which approach fits best is a shared process - the therapist and client review progress and change methods if needed so the work stays relevant.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to match different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is preferred. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins, people who prefer writing, or times when sitting for a full session is difficult. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, caregiving or travel commitments.
