About Samantha
Samantha Wilkinson is a BACP-registered counsellor in the United Kingdom with six years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain and a wide range of life changes. Samantha also supports those coping with trauma, addiction, ADHD and codependency concerns.
She uses straightforward, evidence-informed methods to help clients notice what gets in the way and try different ways of responding. Sessions are practical and focused on skills as well as on understanding patterns that repeat in relationships and daily life.
Samantha has built a lot of experience supporting neurodivergent people and those who struggle with confidence, motivation and emotional overwhelm. She listens for how attachment patterns and past losses shape current choices. That helps when someone keeps putting others first or finds it hard to set limits.
Her work draws on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy. These methods are used to help people manage difficult thoughts, practise new behaviours and strengthen what matters to them.
Clients can expect a collaborative tone in sessions. Samantha helps people identify small, practical steps they can take between meetings. The focus is on shifting everyday habits - like people-pleasing, avoidance or being drawn into crises - into more sustainable ways of coping.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule their first session through the See online therapy options button. Session cost varies by location and uses a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and commit to actions that reflect their values. It can be useful for anxiety, codependency patterns and low mood by focusing on what matters and small value-led steps. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical exercises to reduce unhelpful patterns. It is often used for stress, anxiety, sleep and eating concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns in close relationships and helps people change repeated dynamics that cause distress.Choosing an approach is collaborative. Samantha will talk through goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them over time if needed. The emphasis is on practical tools and experiments that can be put into everyday life.
The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, allow shorter check-in sessions when needed, and remove the need to travel. Registered or accredited professionals often use online sessions to support consistency and to practise skills between meetings, while tailoring the pace to each person’s needs.
