Samantha Wilkinson uses straightforward, person-focused approaches to help people facing stress, anxiety, grief and life changes. She is a BACP counsellor with six years' experience working in the United Kingdom. Samantha says people bring strengths and knowledge about their own lives, and she aims to build on those resources in sessions.

Samantha works with a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, addictions, ADHD and mood difficulties such as depression and bipolar.

Background and approach

She also supports issues around relationships, intimacy and sexuality, body image, eating and sleeping, career worries and parenting strain. Practical coping strategies are combined with attention to feelings and values. Her approach mixes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas, alongside client-centred listening and some elements of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy.

In practice this means noticing what matters to someone, learning skills for tough moments, and testing small changes between sessions. Samantha has particular interest in neurodiversity and says she values working with people who have lived experience of autism or related differences. She also offers help for people dealing with caregiver stress, chronic illness, abandonment issues and communication or control problems.

The first sessions are used to understand what matters most and to set clear, achievable goals. Samantha invites people to try practical tools, reflect on progress, and adjust plans as needed so therapy fits everyday life.

Therapeutic approaches delivered online

Samantha commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in an online setting. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them, accept difficult feelings without getting stuck, and take small steps toward a values-based life. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and patterns, and trying practical experiments to change thinking and behaviour.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Samantha will talk through goals, preferences and what has or has not helped before. She will then tailor methods so they fit the person's situation and aims, with choices adapted over time as progress is reviewed.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give practical flexibility. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and learning new skills together. Phone sessions can be easier when connection or bandwidth is limited or for short check-ins. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer written reflection or need brief, on-the-go support between longer sessions. These options help therapy fit around work, family and travel commitments.
