About Samantha
Samantha Walding is a counsellor with 20 years of experience who aims to help people facing stress, anxiety and relationship difficulties. She works with those struggling with addiction, grief, depression and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. Samantha acknowledges each person brings knowledge about their life and builds on those strengths. She offers a calm, steady presence for people who find starting therapy difficult.
Her approach is rooted in attachment-based and client-centred ideas, with psychodynamic and solution-focused influences. Samantha listens to understand early relationship patterns and current reactions. She helps people notice how past experiences shape present choices and relationships.
In sessions she encourages clear goals and small, manageable steps. Practical strategies are used alongside gentle reflection on emotions and history. This can help with codependency, abandonment concerns, addiction patterns and feelings of isolation.
Samantha holds BACP, which is the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. Her practice is based in the United Kingdom and she offers sessions in English. International clients are accepted, and practical arrangements are made when people join from other countries.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability. The subscription used for sessions can be cancelled at any time, and costs vary with location and therapist availability.
How Samantha's approaches translate to online work
Samantha uses attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships affect current ones. This approach helps people who feel stuck in repeating patterns or who struggle with trust and closeness. Client-centred work means sessions focus on the person's own priorities, with the counsellor following their lead and reflecting their experience back in simple terms.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. Samantha will talk with each person about what matters most, what they hope to change and how they prefer to work. Together they set goals and try ways of working that fit the person's needs and comfort level.
