About Samantha
Samantha Wilkinson is a counsellor who uses practical, person-centred methods to help people manage stress, anxiety and difficult life changes. She holds BACP accreditation, and brings six years of professional experience to her work. Samantha emphasises a respectful, down-to-earth approach and a focus on the person in front of her.
Her sessions often centre on understanding what matters most to each client. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to build coping skills and change unhelpful thinking patterns. Attachment-based ideas also inform how she looks at relationship and intimacy concerns.
Samantha has worked with people facing grief, trauma, addictions, mood challenges and self-esteem struggles. She has particular experience supporting neurodivergent clients and takes that work seriously, listening for sensory and communication differences. Codependency and boundary issues are among the relational themes she helps people untangle.
In practice she aims for clear goals and simple steps. Clients can expect a calm space to talk things through, practical exercises to try between sessions, and regular review of progress. Samantha encourages small changes that fit into everyday life.
She works with English-speaking clients based in the United Kingdom and with international clients. To start, people complete a short questionnaire and then arrange sessions that suit their schedule.
How Samantha’s approaches work in online therapy
Samantha uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas alongside Client-Centred principles to guide online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed, then choose actions that match what matters to them. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current closeness and trust, helping to identify and change repeating patterns. Client-Centred work focuses on listening, empathy and building the client’s own strengths to steer change.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Samantha works collaboratively to find which methods fit a person's goals and preferences. Together they review what helps, adjust the plan, and prioritise practical steps the person can use between sessions.

It also makes it possible to continue working with a therapist when relocating or managing different time zones.
