Samantha Holt

Samantha Holt is a psychologist and psychotherapist who specialises in trauma, relationships, domestic violence, sexual violence, personality disorders, addictions and attachment disorders. She is based in the United Kingdom and has 4 years of clinical experience.

She works with people who have experienced a wide range of traumatic events - including abuse, accidents or injuries, natural disasters, war or combat, neglect, loss or grief, and witnessing violence. Samantha recognises that trauma affects each person differently and can accumulate over time if its impact is not explored and addressed.

A central focus of her practice is attachment and how early bonds shape relationships, friendships, family dynamics and workplace interactions. She has supported inpatients and outpatients presenting with acute stress, traumatic stress symptoms, chronic anxiety, relationship and intimacy-related issues, eating disorders, post-traumatic stress and complex post-traumatic stress where multiple traumatic events may be involved.

Samantha also has experience in anger management and working with addictions in young adults, as well as older adult mental health. She aims to create an open and safe environment in which thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment, and she supports and empowers people to take the first courageous steps toward change and a better quality of life.
