Samavia Chaudhary, BACP

Samavia Chaudhary uses a client-centred way of working that keeps the person in the middle of every session. She is a BACP counsellor with eight years of experience. Samavia listens carefully and supports people as they talk through whatever feels difficult right now.

She focuses on practical steps rather than jargon. Sessions aim to help people manage stress, anxiety and low self-esteem. She also helps when life changes feel overwhelming, and with grief, trauma, compassion fatigue and mood challenges such as depression and bipolar difficulties.

Samavia offers both short-term and longer-term counselling. She draws on mindfulness to help with restless thoughts and sleeping problems. Solution-focused ideas are used when clients want clearer next steps and achievable goals.

Her approach is flexible and adapts to what each person needs. That can mean a quieter, reflective session or a goal-oriented meeting to tackle specific problems like anger, career stress, eating concerns or parenting strain. Sessions are held in a non-judgemental, respectful manner.

Samavia works with adults and young people. She provides appointments online using video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to suit different routines and needs. She accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English.

How client-centred and mindful approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience first. In practice this means the counsellor listens carefully, reflects what is said and helps people find their own answers. It is useful for building trust and working through emotional pain.

Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention skills to reduce overthinking and ease stress. Exercises can help with sleep problems, anxiety and managing strong emotions by focusing on the present moment in small, practical steps.

Solution-Focused Therapy looks for practical, short-term actions that move a person forward. It is goal-oriented and useful when someone wants a clear plan for change, such as managing anger, career decisions or everyday coping strategies.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what has helped or not helped before. Together they decide whether to focus on listening and exploration, mindfulness practices, or concrete solution steps, and this can change over time.

Online sessions are offered by registered or accredited professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is helpful for face-to-face conversation, phone calls suit shorter check-ins or limited bandwidth, and chat or messaging work well for quick reflections or people who prefer not to use a camera. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, family and travel commitments.
