About Samantha
Samantha Wilkinson is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with six years of professional experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, grief, trauma and abuse, and concerns around self-esteem and motivation. Samantha also supports those facing life changes and people managing addictions and ADHD. Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients.
Samantha uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, client-centred work and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. In sessions she helps people name emotions that feel hard to talk about and notices how those feelings shape day-to-day choices. She aims to help clients notice patterns, try different responses, and build skills for coping with difficult moments.
Her work often includes supporting people with intimacy-related worries, relationship tensions, and communication problems. She also spends time with people facing body image concerns, eating or sleeping difficulties, caregiver stress and chronic health challenges. Samantha has experience with neurodivergent clients and pays attention to how thinking styles affect everyday life.
Practical work in sessions may involve spotting unhelpful thinking, practising new behaviour, and exploring attachment and emotional responses. She explains approaches simply and uses them side-by-side so people can try what makes sense to them. Sessions focus on clear, manageable steps rather than long theoretical explanations.
To start a working relationship, the usual process is to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule an initial appointment. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be cancelled at any time.
How her approaches are used in online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and name difficult emotions and see how those feelings affect their behaviour. It is often used when emotions are confusing or hard to express and can help with relationship tensions and attachment-related worries.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on values and practical actions. It helps people accept difficult thoughts while committing to steps that align with what matters to them, which can help with anxiety, stress and motivation problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Samantha will discuss options and decide together which methods fit a person's needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and approaches may be combined or adjusted over time.
Confirm the current session options before booking to see which formats are available. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can use different formats to suit practical needs, and Samantha uses her approaches to help people apply skills in everyday life.
