About Samantha

Samantha Wilkinson is a counsellor who uses practical, person-centred methods to help people facing money worries and other life stresses. She is registered with the BACP, and draws on six years of direct practice to support people through anxiety, grief, relationship strain and changes at work. Samantha believes clients already hold strengths that can be used to respond to difficult situations.

Samantha spends sessions listening first, then helping people test small, workable steps. She uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy alongside client-centred conversation. That mix is aimed at easing overwhelming feelings and building clearer choices about next steps.

She has experience working with neurodivergent people and often supports those finding routine, focus or motivation difficult. Samantha also works with people affected by trauma, addiction, sleep or eating concerns, and those managing long-term health or carer stress. Issues around intimacy, identity and LGBT topics are included in her work.

Her style is straightforward and collaborative. Samantha will help break down worries into manageable tasks and practise skills between sessions. She encourages people to set goals that fit their life and to review progress at a steady pace.

Sessions are offered in English and she accepts international clients. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to the available times on the platform.

How Samantha uses therapeutic approaches online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without being overwhelmed by them and then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, and is often used for anxiety, sleep and low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and can help when intimacy, trust or repeating relationship difficulties are central.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Samantha collaborates with each person to identify which methods fit their goals and preferences. She checks in as therapy progresses and adapts techniques to what is helpful in day-to-day life.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow for more flexible scheduling. Session formats are not specified here, so confirm the current options before booking. Many people find online sessions useful for regular check-ins, practising skills between meetings and keeping therapy consistent during busy periods.
