About Samantha
Samantha Wilkinson is a counsellor who uses practical, evidence-informed approaches to help people navigate stress, anxiety and life changes. She holds BACP accreditation, and brings six years of professional experience to her practice. Samantha aims to create a straightforward, down-to-earth space where people can talk through what feels hard and build small, useful steps forward.
Samantha often focuses on day-to-day problems like low mood, worry, sleep disruption and difficulties with motivation and self-esteem. She also supports people facing grief, trauma, addiction and relationship or intimacy-related concerns. Neurodivergent clients are a particular interest, and she draws on that experience when tailoring sessions.
Her way of working is collaborative and practical. Sessions usually involve listening first, clarifying what matters most, and then trying approaches that match the person's goals. Techniques come from approaches such as acceptance and commitment work, cognitive behavioural methods and emotion-focused conversation.
Samantha describes clients as the experts in their own lives and looks to build on existing strengths. She also uses attachment-based ideas to help people notice patterns that affect relationships and day-to-day wellbeing. The room is used to test new ways of responding and to rehearse manageable changes.
To begin, people choose the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and arrange sessions according to the therapist's availability. The service uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

Approaches that translate well to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that reflect what matters most. It can be useful for anxiety, depression and dealing with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on practical ways to change unhelpful thinking and routine behaviours, which often helps with sleep, worry and low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationship patterns shape reactions today and can be helpful for intimacy and relationship-related difficulties.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to your goals and suggest methods that match those aims. Together you can try different techniques and keep what helps, changing direction when something does not fit.
Please confirm the session formats available before booking, as the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also lets people use approaches that rely on discussion, behavioural experiments and skills practice in familiar routines, making it simpler to apply new strategies between sessions.
