About Samantha
Samantha Wilkinson uses client-centred and practical therapy to help people regain balance in their lives. She works in straightforward ways that focus on what matters now. Samantha keeps sessions simple and goal-focused so people can find relief and build on their strengths.
She draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck in them. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is used to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try new behaviours.
Background and approach
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy skills help with emotional regulation and coping during tough moments. Samantha has six years of professional experience and holds BACP registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She has worked with many kinds of concern, such as stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, addiction, eating and sleeping difficulties, low self-esteem, and mood conditions including depression and bipolar.
Samantha is experienced supporting neurodivergent people and is interested in attachment-related issues and intimacy difficulties. She also helps with practical life matters like career strain, parenting stress, caregiver burden, and chronic health challenges. Her approach is to treat each person as the expert in their life while offering clear tools and steady support.
Sessions are offered in English and are available to people in the United Kingdom and internationally. Samantha uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging so people can choose what works best for them. To begin, a short matching questionnaire helps pair people with the right schedule and format.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them drive behaviour. It focuses on values and small committed steps, which can be useful for anxiety, stress and life changes.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact. It teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful thinking and try different behaviours, helpful for low mood, anxiety, sleep and eating concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and decide together which methods fit best. That collaborative process can start in the first few sessions and may blend different techniques over time.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be a good choice when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options give flexibility to fit therapy around work, caregiving and daily life while keeping the focus on what helps you make steady progress.
