Samantha Hudson, NCPS

Samantha Hudson is a trauma-informed therapist with 12 years of professional experience, offering supportive, practical therapy to people who are ready to make change. She began practice in 2011 and has continued to expand her skills through ongoing study and private practice work.

Samantha has substantial experience working with first responders and veterans from the United Kingdom, the United States, and Canada, and has developed a reputation for putting people at ease so they can speak openly about their experiences and the changes they want to make. She works with anyone seeking therapy - being a veteran or first responder is not a requirement - and her style is warm, interactive, and grounded in respect, sensitivity, and compassion.

Her therapeutic approach draws on a range of evidence-informed methods, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), client-centered and existential perspectives, motivational interviewing, narrative and solution-focused strategies, and trauma-focused therapy. She tailors conversations and treatment plans to meet each person’s individual needs.

Samantha is a specialist trauma therapist who has written keynote speeches and Continuing Professional Development courses on PTSD and suicide awareness. She has presented to specialist policing and national agencies on post-traumatic stress matters. She offers sessions by video and telephone, and she permits messaging between sessions but does not provide therapy solely by messaging.

Her formal qualifications include NCPS and an Advanced Diploma in Counselling and Psychotherapy, alongside multiple Level 4 practitioner qualifications in areas such as cognitive behavioural therapy, post-traumatic stress management, anger and aggression management, and transactional analysis. She is based in the United Kingdom and provides services in English. She is not currently accepting new clients but is open to working with international clients when available.
