About Samantha
Samantha Wilkinson is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with six years of professional experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strains, motivation and self-esteem concerns, and people adjusting after life changes.
Samantha has supported clients with a wide range of issues, including trauma and abuse, ADHD, addictions, eating and sleeping difficulties, and mood concerns such as depression and bipolar. She also works with people dealing with caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, body image and intimacy-related problems. Her practice includes people from LGBT backgrounds and those exploring kink and alternative sexual cultures.
She often works with neurodivergent clients and draws on that experience when conversations focus on routine, sensory needs, communication differences or executive-function challenges. In sessions she treats the person as the expert on their story and looks for strengths to build on.
Samantha uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based work to look at thoughts, behaviours and relationships. She also uses elements of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and client-centred counselling when helpful.
Practical goals, skills and clearer next steps are often the focus when people feel stuck or unsure what to do next. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then arrange an initial session to discuss priorities and plan further work.
How Samantha uses specific approaches in online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to clarify what matters to them and take small steps towards those values while learning to sit with tough thoughts. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and practising alternative responses to reduce distress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape expectations and patterns, and helps people change how they relate to others and to themselves.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Samantha will work together with each person to decide which methods best fit their needs, goals and preferences, and she adapts sessions as understanding grows over time.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking because the profile does not list specific options. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by reducing travel, offering shorter check-ins when needed, or making it simpler to attend from different locations. Many people find that practical skill practice, values clarification and relationship-focused conversations translate well to remote sessions, and Samantha will talk through the most helpful way to structure time together.
