About Samantha
Samantha Wilkinson is a counsellor who uses Jungian ideas alongside practical therapies to help people make sense of difficult life moments. She works with stress, anxiety, grief, depression and mood concerns, and supports people with relationship and intimacy issues. Samantha also helps clients dealing with sleep and eating problems, addictions, and challenges linked to neurodivergence such as attention differences.
She is BACP registered and practices from the United Kingdom. Samantha draws on Jungian therapy to look at meaning and personal patterns.
Background and approach
She combines that with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to offer both insight and practical steps. Sessions aim to balance thinking about feelings with small, actionable changes to daily life. She has six years of professional experience and has spent much of that time supporting people who identify as LGBT and those experiencing caregiving strain and compassion fatigue.
Samantha also works with issues like anger, low self-esteem, and career stress, offering straightforward strategies alongside reflective work. Neurodivergent clients are a particular interest; Samantha makes space for different ways of thinking and communicates in clear, direct terms. She emphasises the client’s own expertise about their life and helps build on existing strengths.
Practical matters are discussed up front. Sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging so people can choose what fits their routine. Samantha accepts international clients and works in English.

Online support
Therapeutic approaches and online support
Samantha combines Jungian therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based work to meet different needs. Jungian therapy looks at personal patterns, dreams and symbols to help people understand recurring life themes and create new meaning. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without fighting them and taking committed action aligned with personal values. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how past relationship experiences shape current bonds and communication, and helps people try new ways of relating.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Samantha will talk through your concerns, goals and preferences to decide which methods to prioritise. The plan can change over time as progress is made or new priorities emerge, and the therapist aims to match style to what feels most useful for the client.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video sessions support face-to-face conversation when a visual connection helps. Phone calls use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a busy day. Live chat and text messaging work well for shorter check-ins, brief coaching, or when a written exchange feels more comfortable. These options give flexibility for different routines and communication styles, while allowing ongoing therapeutic work without travel.
