About Samantha
Samantha Wilkinson is a counsellor who uses practical, evidence-informed approaches to help people manage anxiety, phobias and everyday stress. She works in a straightforward way, listening first and then helping each person choose tools that fit their life. Samantha holds BACP accreditation which reflects her professional standing in the UK.
Her style is collaborative and calm. She helps people talk through grief, trauma and relationship concerns. She also supports those coping with ADHD, addiction issues, low self-esteem and changes at work or home.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to build skills to manage difficult feelings and to strengthen what already works in someone’s life. Samantha has six years of practice experience and has worked a lot with neurodivergent people. That experience informs how she adapts sessions to suit different ways of thinking and communicating.
She focuses on practical strategies and small steps that add up to real change. In therapy she draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based ideas. Those approaches help people notice unhelpful patterns, accept difficult feelings without getting stuck, and reconnect with what matters to them.
Samantha tailors methods to each person rather than following a fixed recipe. People meet her for one-to-one sessions by video, phone, live chat or messaging. Conversation is paced to the person’s needs, with clear, simple techniques to practise between sessions.
The aim is steady progress and greater confidence managing life’s challenges.
Online approaches that fit your life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them and then take small steps toward what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns and trying practical exercises to change them. Attachment-based ideas look at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and help people build more supported ways of relating.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to your situation and goals, explain options in plain terms, and agree a plan together. That collaborative process helps tailor the mix of ACT, CBT or attachment work to your needs and preferences rather than using one fixed method.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions are delivered. Video calls let you use visual cues and a fuller conversation. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging can suit short check-ins, reflective writing practice or people who prefer typing. These formats make scheduling easier and let therapy fit around work, study and family life.
