About Samantha
Samantha Wilkinson is a counsellor who uses practical, person-focused methods to help people manage stress, anxiety and life changes. She is listed with BACP, and brings six years of professional experience to her work. Samantha aims to make the first steps feel manageable and supportive for someone who is worried or unsure.
She combines approaches that help people notice unhelpful patterns and build new ways of coping. Sessions are straightforward and centred on the person’s goals.
Background and approach
Common concerns she works with include grief, relationship and intimacy issues, low self-esteem, depression and bipolar mood challenges. Samantha has particular experience supporting people with ADHD and other neurodivergent profiles. She also addresses addictions, eating and sleeping problems, carer stress, chronic illness and pain, and difficulties with communication and commitment.
Her additional focus areas include attachment issues, body image and blended family challenges. In sessions she uses methods drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and client-centred practice. She also draws on attachment-based ideas and skills from dialectical behaviour therapy when helpful.
The aim is to find practical steps that fit each person’s life and values. People can work with Samantha online by video, phone, live chat or text messaging. International clients may be supported in English.
To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and sessions are scheduled according to availability.

Therapeutic approaches that translate well online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then take small steps towards what matters to them. It can be useful for anxiety, depression and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behaviour and testing small experiments to change them, which often works well for anxiety, low mood and sleep or eating difficulties.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss options and try techniques together to see what fits the client’s goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps shape a clear plan and practical steps to try between sessions.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video lets people use visual cues and longer conversations, phone can be simpler when video is difficult, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family commitments or other routines while keeping the focus on usable skills and steady progress.
