About Samantha
Samantha Wilkinson is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with six years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, relationship and intimacy issues, and challenges linked to neurodivergence. Her practice also covers mood concerns such as depression and bipolar, and practical struggles like sleep, eating, work and parenting strain.
She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based ideas to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. Sessions aim to identify patterns that keep a problem going and then try different ways of responding. The approach is practical and action-focused, with clear steps and skills to practise between meetings.
Samantha often supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, addictions, compassion fatigue and career-related stress. She also works with topics such as body image, codependency, communication problems and intimacy-related difficulties. Her background includes substantial work with neurodivergent clients and an interest in relationship dynamics and attachment issues.
Clients can expect a collaborative style that centres the person’s own experience and goals. Samantha treats the client as the expert on their story and helps build on existing strengths. She uses a mix of client-centred listening and structured CBT techniques to plan small, manageable changes.
Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are accepted. Costs vary by location and sessions use a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How Samantha uses structured approaches in online sessions
CBT helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and test different responses. It breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and behaviours and gives step-by-step exercises for everyday life. This approach is useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep and many daily routines.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on values and committed action. It helps people make space for difficult feelings while taking steps that matter to them. Attachment-based ideas look at relational patterns and how early bonds shape current responses in close relationships.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Samantha will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together the client and counsellor will decide which methods to try and will adapt them as progress is reviewed.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the profile does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Clients should consider what timing and session length fit their schedule and mention those needs when booking.
