Samantha Wilkinson, BACP

Samantha Wilkinson is a UK-based therapist with six years of clinical experience supporting people through a wide range of life challenges. She works with clients facing stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, grief and loss, low motivation, self-esteem and confidence concerns, and a range of other issues including trauma, addiction, ADHD and mood disorders. She has particular experience with neurodivergent clients and is passionate about providing informed, respectful care that recognises each personâs individual strengths.

Samantha approaches therapy from a strengths-based perspective, believing clients are the experts in their own stories and already possess resources that can help them move forward. She combines evidence-informed methods with an empathic, client-centered stance to help people build new skills, make meaning from difficult experiences and create more fulfilling lives.

She holds the BACP credential - membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and practices from the United Kingdom. Samantha offers a collaborative, compassionate environment and encourages taking the first step toward change, acknowledging that seeking help takes courage. She accepts international clients and provides therapy in English, adapting sessions to meet individual needs and preferences.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Samantha commonly integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy and a client-centered approach into her online practice. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and develop practical strategies for living a meaningful life even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present - it can be helpful for anxiety, stress and motivation challenges. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relational patterns affect present-day relationships and emotional responses, supporting work on intimacy, abandonment issues and family dynamics. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on an empathic, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship that helps people feel heard and understood while they explore goals and change.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Samantha works with each person to identify which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences, adapting interventions over time based on what proves most helpful. Clients are involved in decisions about pace and focus throughout therapy.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access support from home or while travelling, allow for more frequent check-ins when needed, and let clients choose the format that fits their life and needs while working with a registered professional.
