Samantha Wilkinson, BACP

Samantha Wilkinson is a counsellor who works in a practical, person-focused way. She uses clear, straightforward language and helps people talk through stress, anxiety, relationship difficulty and jealousy. She also supports people facing grief, changes in life, low self-esteem and motivation. Samantha holds BACP, which is the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, and has six years of professional experience.

Her approach is collaborative and down-to-earth. She treats each person as the expert on their own life and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions aim to make real changes people can use between meetings, such as small behaviour shifts, clearer communication and new ways of managing difficult thoughts.

Samantha has worked a lot with neurodivergent clients and brings patience and flexibility to clinical work. She also has experience supporting people with sleep and eating concerns, addictions, ADHD and chronic health issues. Her practice includes work around intimacy-related issues, body image, attachment concerns and codependency.

Therapeutic methods she draws on include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Attachment-Based work. She adapts techniques to fit each person rather than following one fixed method. Expect practical tools, reflective conversation and agreed goals you can measure over time.

Sessions are offered in English and Samantha accepts international clients. Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first appointment that suits your needs.

Therapeutic approaches and online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, low mood and motivation by teaching practical exercises to increase psychological flexibility. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and gives clear strategies to reduce worry, manage sleep or change unhelpful patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past relationships shape current connections and can be useful for intimacy, trust and relationship concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and try methods that fit the person's goals, preferences and situation. That choice is made together and can change as progress is made.

Confirm current online session options before booking because formats are not specified in the profile. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, avoid travel time and keep sessions brief when needed. It also allows people in different places to work with the same therapist. The focus remains on practical tools, shared planning and regular check-ins to help people manage jealousy, stress and the other concerns listed in the profile.
