About Samantha

Samantha Wilkinson is a counsellor who uses practical, evidence-informed approaches to help people make changes that matter. She works with common concerns like stress, anxiety and low mood, and she helps people who are facing life transitions, grief, or difficulties with motivation and confidence. She has a BACP credential, and six years of professional experience in the United Kingdom.

Samantha has worked with neurodivergent people and has a particular interest in supporting those clients through everyday challenges.

Background and approach

She emphasises a strengths-based approach and treats each person as the expert in their own life. In sessions she focuses on clear, doable steps rather than long explanations. That can mean learning new ways to manage strong feelings, testing out different strategies, or practising skills that reduce overwhelm.

She aims for short, readable conversations and tangible progress between meetings. Samantha draws on a mix of psychological approaches depending on what a person needs. She adapts methods to match how someone prefers to work and what fits their situation, rather than following a single technique for everyone.

She offers remote session options for people who need flexible arrangements. The first steps are straightforward - complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session that fits the person’s timing and availability.

Online support

How Samantha uses therapeutic approaches online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful when life feels overwhelming or when someone wants clearer direction. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting thought patterns and trying different behaviours to reduce distress. It often helps with anxiety, sleep problems, low mood and unhelpful routines. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current ways of relating and feeling, and it can support people working through trust, intimacy or communication concerns.

Samantha treats finding the right approach as a team effort. She listens to what matters to the person, talks through different options, and then tries methods that match the client’s goals and style. Changes are tested in small steps so the approach can be adjusted if needed.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls are good for deeper conversations and working with exercises; phone sessions can be easier on low-bandwidth connections and for shorter check-ins. Live chat or messaging can fit around busy days, help keep progress between sessions, and suit people who prefer not to be on camera. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into everyday life.
