About Samantha
Samantha Wilkinson is a counsellor and a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) with six years' experience. She works with people in the United Kingdom on issues such as stress, anxiety, grief, relationship concerns and motivation. Sessions are conducted in English and she accepts international clients.
Samantha uses practical talking approaches to help people manage day-to-day difficulties. She often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to look at thoughts and actions. She also uses Attachment-Based and Client-Centred methods to focus on relationship patterns and how people feel heard in sessions.
She has experience supporting people who identify as neurodivergent and those dealing with loss, trauma, or long-term stress. She also addresses challenges with sleep, eating, self-esteem and workplace pressures. Issues such as addiction, ADHD, bipolar and compassion fatigue are within her noted areas of interest.
In sessions she helps people identify small, workable steps and practical coping strategies. Conversations cover feelings, what gets in the way, and simple actions to try between meetings. The aim is to make changes that fit into everyday life rather than large, sudden shifts.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then book a first session. Fees vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. Confirm current session options before booking to be sure they match your needs.
Therapeutic approaches used in online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without getting stuck in them, and then choose actions that reflect their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and motivation problems. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and offers practical exercises to change patterns that cause distress. It is often used for anxiety, depression and sleep difficulties. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current ways of relating and can help with trust, intimacy and long-standing relationship patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will talk with the client about goals and preferences and suggest methods to try. That choice is reviewed over time so the approach fits what the client needs and what works in practice.
The therapist's biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people choose remote sessions because they fit around work, reduce travel time and make it easier to keep appointments. Others prefer shorter check-ins by phone when time is limited, or video meetings for a fuller conversational experience. Registered or accredited professionals can help plan how sessions fit into day-to-day life and suggest a rhythm that supports progress.
