Samantha Wilkinson, BACP

Samantha Wilkinson is a counsellor who uses practical, person-focused approaches to help people move through difficult moments. She brings six years of experience in the UK and works from the belief that each person knows their story best. Samantha aims to make starting therapy straightforward and supportive for people feeling stuck or overwhelmed.

She helps with stress and anxiety, grief and loss, and the everyday strains of career and self-esteem. Samantha also supports people dealing with trauma, addictions, bipolar and depression, and those navigating relationship and intimacy-related concerns. She has a particular interest in neurodiversity and says she enjoys working with neurodivergent clients.

Her way of working mixes well-established psychological approaches with a warm, listening style. Samantha draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Attachment-Based ideas to help people understand patterns and try new responses. Sessions focus on clear, manageable steps rather than jargon or long lectures.

People bring many kinds of life change to therapy, including parenting pressures, caregiver stress, chronic health challenges, and ageing-related worries. Samantha offers practical tools for managing sleep, anger, motivation, and communication problems alongside emotional support for grief and loss.

She is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP, and works with clients across the UK. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are accepted. To begin, people follow a short matching questionnaire and book according to the available schedule.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and aims to strengthen safer ways of relating. This is often helpful for intimacy, attachment issues and relationship difficulties. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, breaks down problems into thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it is commonly used for anxiety, low mood and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Samantha will discuss goals and preferences and recommend one or a blend of methods. That choice is made together, and it can change as progress is made or needs shift.

The biography does not state specific online formats, so please confirm available session options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into busy lives by reducing travel and making scheduling easier. Online conversations can allow focused check-ins, guided exercises, or practical planning that slot into a lunch break or a quieter time in the day. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt ACT, attachment-based ideas and CBT to an online setting to keep sessions practical and goal oriented.
