About Samantha
Samantha Wilkinson is a counsellor who uses practical, evidence-informed approaches to help people manage anxiety and related stresses. She works in English from the United Kingdom and brings six years of professional experience to conversations about difficult feelings and life challenges. She focuses on what people are going through now and helps them build skills to cope better.
Sessions commonly cover anxiety, stress, depression, grief, relationship concerns and motivation. Samantha also supports people navigating neurodivergence and the particular struggles that can come with it.
Background and approach
Samantha draws on a mix of approaches to match different needs. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to spot unhelpful thinking and try clearer thinking. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify values and take small meaningful steps.
She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at patterns in close relationships. Her style is collaborative and straightforward. Samantha treats people as the experts on their own lives and offers practical tools and reflective conversation.
She aims to make sessions feel manageable for someone who is anxious or worn out. Sessions are delivered online using video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, so people can choose what fits their day.
Samantha is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - BACP - and works with individuals who want to make change, feel steadier, and improve their wellbeing.
Integrating practical therapies online
Samantha commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to support people online. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and building small actions that align with those values, which can help when anxiety or avoidance gets in the way. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical techniques to reduce unhelpful thinking and improve mood and sleep.Finding the right approach tends to be part of the early work. Samantha explores each person’s goals, symptoms and preferences and together they decide which methods to try. She adapts pace and techniques so the plan feels manageable and collaborative rather than prescriptive.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into everyday life. Video calls let people see facial cues and share worksheets, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be a shorter check-in, while live chat or messaging can suit quick reflections or those who prefer written conversation. These options give flexibility for different schedules and needs and make it possible to continue therapy while travelling or balancing work and family life.
