Samantha Wilkinson , BACP

Samantha Wilkinson is a UK-based therapist with six years of professional experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, trauma, grief and many life transitions. She holds BACP accreditation - membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy - and draws on that training to offer practical, compassionate support tailored to each person's circumstances.

Samantha works with a wide range of concerns including relationship and family issues, neurodivergence, ADHD, addictions, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting challenges, anger, low self-esteem, career worries, bipolar and depression. She also offers focused help around attachment and abandonment, caregiver stress, chronic illness and body image, and is experienced in intimacy-related and kink-affirming conversations when relevant to therapy.

With particular experience supporting neurodivergent clients, Samantha prioritizes a strengths-based, client-centered stance. She views each person as the expert on their own story and collaborates to build on existing resources while addressing what feels most challenging. Taking the first step toward a more fulfilling life can be difficult; Samantha provides steady support and practical tools to help clients move toward meaningful change.

Therapeutic approaches and accessible online care

Samantha uses evidence-informed methods to tailor therapy to each person's needs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and develop practical skills to act in line with those values while managing difficult thoughts and feelings - it is often helpful for anxiety, stress and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships influence current patterns of relating and can be useful for addressing relationship difficulties, abandonment concerns and attachment issues.

Samantha approaches treatment collaboratively - finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. She works with clients to identify goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, adapting methods over time so therapy remains relevant and effective for each individual.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, support people who live at a distance, and allow ongoing work between sessions. Licensed professionals and therapists can deliver meaningful therapeutic change through these formats while tailoring the experience to each client's practical needs and schedule.
