About Samantha
Samantha Wilkinson is a counsellor who works from a systemic perspective to help people facing stress, anxiety, grief and life changes. She holds BACP accreditation, and draws on six years of experience supporting people through relationship and intimacy concerns, addiction, mood difficulties and parenting stress. Samantha places the person’s story at the centre of sessions.
She uses straightforward conversation to map what is causing distress. Clients can expect practical tools to manage anxiety, improve sleep, or build motivation alongside space to make sense of painful experiences such as loss or trauma.
Background and approach
She has significant experience working with neurodivergent people and approaches those differences with curiosity and respect. Samantha pays attention to how patterns in relationships and everyday routines affect mood and behaviour. She will help identify small, workable changes that can make day-to-day life feel more manageable.
Samantha uses a mix of approaches tailored to each person. That can include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and take meaningful action, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy for thinking and behaviour changes, and Attachment-Based ideas to look at how early patterns influence current relationships. People choose her when they want a calm, practical counsellor who listens without judgement.
She aims to help clients build resilience, restore confidence and find clearer ways to cope with difficult feelings and situations.

Online support
Practical therapy approaches available online
Samantha commonly uses Systemic Therapy to look at how relationships and daily routines shape difficulties. This helps people understand patterns that keep problems going and spot where small changes might shift things for the better.She also works with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on clarifying personal values and taking manageable action even when feelings are hard. Attachment-Based Therapy informs her work when relationship histories affect current trust, intimacy or communication.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Samantha will discuss different ways of working and agree together what fits your goals and preferences. That collaborative step helps tailor sessions to practical needs such as improving sleep, managing anxiety or repairing communication.
Online therapy offers flexibility for those with busy schedules or mobility limits. Video calls recreate a face-to-face conversation, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a short break, while live chat or text-based messaging allow ongoing contact between appointments. These formats make it possible to continue steady work without regular travel and to choose what feels most manageable for each person.
