About me

Hi, my name is Samantha Johnson and I am a Person Centred Therapist (PCT) and Cognitive Behavioural therapist (CBT) for children and adults.I have been practising counselling PCT & CBT since 2020. I have previously worked for over 8 years supporting children and adults in educational settings. I have recently worked as a school lead in mental health counselling where I supported children with additional and complex needs, their parents and carers and their wider family.

I currently have my own therapy space and offer a free telephone or video consultation in the first instance with all clients. Appointments are either face to face, telephone/video or walk and talk sessions which take place in the community accessing the coastal areas of Roker and Seaburn and local parks. Session times are available from 8am till 8pm any day.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
